BIG PICTURE:
Zohran wins 50%+ in 16 ADs, and Zohran + Lander are 50%+ in 33 ADs total. Highlighted in yellow are the 14 incumbents on this list that didn't run on the WFP line in 2024 and Epstein's district, which is now open.
@socialists.nyc, this is your scoreboard...
is 2021 mayoral the only race dfp ever nailed lol
As NYWFP works to consolidate support around its slate of candidates, we're proud to rank @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social #1 🥳
To give voters clear guidance, we're ranking a full slate of 5 candidates. When we unite, we can defeat Cuomo & elect a mayor who fights for us. Let's get this done!
what even are the 17 affiliates? nypan, make the road, cuffh, nycc, fully guessing: sunrise, aqe, tjv/jfrej??, treeage??....
read my opinion piece for the @baltimorebeat.bsky.social about donald trump's recent attacks against baltimore city schools:

joe vogel and adrian boafo introducing a mask ban bill is genuine nightmare fuel. like literally the two worst democrats in the maryland legislature it's insane
read my article for @mondoweiss.net about how the student intifada is pioneering operational security measures that should be replicated across civil society in the wake of the second trump presidency:

One think I realized is that Eaddy, Tawanda West, Kelly Davis (who successfully fought to free her husband from malicious prosecution by the state), Tamara Lanier (who has a book out you should read!) all have teams around them. There’s no rest without community.
my takeaways from this, though, are that ramos and myrie are probably done, for different reasons. myrie has zero juice, even on the friendliest territory (black, BK, middle age brackets). ramos has juice, but no money, and it's getting too late in the cycle to catch up to everyone else in $
zohran at 20% with the 18-34 crowd shows that the social media has hit saturation, if he consolidates the friendly demographics in the other age brackets (w/ more exposure & time) he breaks into the top tier of candidates
The Democratic Central Committee just voted to appoint the white, anti-choice, FOP-endorsed state rep who introduced the bill to strip CAIR from the Maryland hate crimes commission my next state senator in our 66% black district.
Vacancy appointments by party officials must end.
Read my feature article for Columbia Political Review:
“The US is on track to replicate the UK’s escalating anti-migrant social crisis. We are poised to see a considerable increase in anti-immigrant violence in the near future, but a course correction is possible.”

+1 lol, but alsobrooks generally ran a fairly unassertive campaign in both the primary and the general and clearly assumed that endorsements would drag her to finish. the race could have been unambigiously in the clear for the national party months before it eventually was
Happening now: Amazon Labor Union workers and supporters are rallying outside JFK8 on Staten Island ahead of a midnight strike due to Amazon refusing to come to the bargaining table following a Dec. 15 deadline.

I wrote a public letter to the School Board in the @baltimorebeat.bsky.social urging them to not to close Creative City and Southwest.

it goes without saying, but o'malley as dnc chair would be a disaster, and cardin/van hollen/alsobrooks' statement, while entirely expected, is ill-fated. o'malley is the architect of the modern strategy of the bpd. he is not going to lead a democratic revival with black & brown voters
Baltimore must act now to create a system that prioritizes equity and transparency over control, writes Baltimore City Councilperson Kristerfer Burnett. https://buff.ly/4fID3Mi
I am once again asking you to support local, independent news. A few orgs that are on here:

@mississippifreepress.org
The neighborhoods adjacent to Johns Hopkins went 85%+ for no. Between Uncommitted and Question H, the progressive core of the city has been solidified as a coherent voting bloc (for the first time ever), defined by I-83 and Greenmount Ave
Mapped out the Question H result
White voters went 70%+ for no, whereas Black/Latino voters were about 55% no - 45% yes
Amongst black voters, No did particularly well in mixed-use neighborhoods and blocks close to the universities (JHU/MSU)
This closely mirrors the Uncommitted primary result
"I am very clear-eyed about the kind of harm Donald Trump can do to this country. I also know that there are people who are already doing the hard work of creating a safer, better world," writes Editor in Chief Lisa Snowden. https://buff.ly/3Ok3wUI
I also wrote about what we need to survive the next four years and beyond: organizers.
our ancestors accomplished more, with less, against worse. stay locked in.
i'm old enough to remember finger wagging and warnings about inflammatory overreach by scholars describing Israel with the term "settler colonialism"
