Mamdani walking from City Hall to Gracie’s Mansion earns him 10,000 Brownie Points in my book.🔥

We cap contributions, push campaigns into public financing, and call it reform. In reality, staff are underpaid due to budget constraints, and first-time candidates get buried in compliance and fines.

Circling back on this because it seems to have quietly fallen through the cracks.

Albany killed the idea, yet again, and roughly $300 million in potential revenue was left on the table.

I NEED this right now🏖️🏳️‍🌈

Goon does NOT have the same meaning anymore 😅

My heart breaks for Mary. This hits very close to home 😢

The “everyone is leaving NYC” crowd is going to have to explain American Express building out 2 World Trade Center and a record number of millionaires.

That is a curious definition of decline.

I’m genuinely surprised by this choice. I hadn’t anticipated that.

Sorry, I forgot to share this with the class🙈

Magnitude 10 political earthquake just hit Northern Brooklyn.

The whole landscape looks different after Mamdani’s win and the Dem revolt against the gerontocracy.

3/4 of Americans now think gerrymandering is a major problem.

Texas is the proof in real time. If government reform groups were smart, they would flood the airwaves with ads right now.

This is the moment to make the case for real political/electoral reform while the country is paying attention.

I don't really know what to do with this information (largely because it makes me sad), but you should know that Bluesky activity has dropped 50% from 6 months ago in January.

I'm sad because if you aren't growing, you are dying.

“Don’t sink to their level!” Baby, I’ll go lower.
I’m glad your empathy is still that intact, but mine is GONE.

I'm calling the cops on any republican/ Trump voter that I see doing something illegal. Misdemeanors, felonies, idgaf. It’s open season.

Start packing it up Susan B. Anthony

This bill is a real piece of shit it and it would be excellent if that’s all anyone talked about for the next few days. Super interested in your think piece about the NYC mayor’s race but let’s get to that after we try to stop the biggest wealth transfer in American history.” — Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI), on X, about the GOP megabill.

Not gonna lie, I’m kind of turned on right now

With Mamdani (D), Cuomo (I), Adams (I), Walden (I), and Sliwa (R) on the ballot, NYC’s general election offers a snapshot of a changing political landscape ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Voters are looking beyond the two-party system and it’s starting to show

Unless something dramatic happens in the interim, a birth certificate will no longer be sufficient to prove the citizenship of any child born in much of the United States after July 27.

Oh Petey B.…..you still have a lot of work to do…

This kind of decision is reckless and creates mass confusion about people’s citizenship status based on the state they were born.

Former critics who once demanded Cuomo resign are now endorsing him A POLITICO review of Cuomo’s touted endorsers found that few of them stood by him in 2021.

Every person on this list voluntarily made themselves a primary target. No long-term thinking whatsoever.

We did it. And who are we?

1️⃣ @socialists.nyc, which not only powered Zohran's campaign but made it possible;

2️⃣ @nywfp.bsky.social, which cohered NYC's organized Left;

3️⃣ @bradlander.bsky.social, Adrienne, and Zellnor, who united against Cuomo; and

4️⃣ The 50,000 of us who did the work in the field.

If the general is Mamdani (D) v. Cuomo (I) v. Adams (I) v. Sliwa (R), New York City will not just be electing a mayor. It’ll be showcasing America’s deep ideological divides right before the 2026 midterms.

It's hard to ignore the pressure on the two-party system at the moment.

Tish is a major winner here too.

She played a pivotal role in forcing Cuomo out of the governor’s office, and then refused to bend the knee when party insiders lined up behind his mayoral bid like a coronation.

She stood in her truth and ended up on the right side of history.

This is a political earthquake. Huge congrats to the whole Zohran campaign for doing the work and pulling off what everyone said was impossible 👏🏽

The Democratic Party’s leadership needs this wake-up call, because right now they're asleep at the wheel
