We're just as confused as everyone else is about the Brooklyn Democratic Party's endorsement flip-flop today.
But it does make the need for new Party leadership clearer than ever. Our full statement:
Josh Johnson is a real one.

“Don’t sleep on cottage cheese” is excellent advice.
Love the Auntie Mame reference!
Trump feuding with Marjorie Taylor Greene but being in love with Zohran Mamdani was not on my November 2025 bingo card
Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less." She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards. They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it. This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil. The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option. "We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents. "We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""
The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

i wouldn't trust a Paterson-picked "panel of influential New Yorkers" to tell me where to buy a slice, much less who to vote for
Loving the very Brad energy ❤️🏳️🌈❤️🏳️🌈
@bradlander.bsky.social said he was at immigration court in NYC today and 8 asylum seekers were taken, not permitted to make their cases under U.S. asylum law.
A few hours later in the same court plaza, New Yorkers stood up for those and other #DisappearedinAmerica with @workerscircle.bsky.social.
You should bring up the India to Uganda connection. He’ll probably stroke out.
Yep, just reeks of how unserious they are.
It is unconscionable that people are being disappeared in our city, in this country. #disappearedinamerica

Spare a thought for Jessica Ramos, who threw out her principles & alliances for a spot in the Cuomo administration, and today got 0.39% and is watching a likely Mamdani primary win.
So proud of my city and everyone who worked tirelessly for this result!

This is always who Brad has been, and I hope more people see that after yesterday. He absolutely deserves a spot on your ballot. And don’t rank Cuomo!
@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.
An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.
That's because they were a publicity stunt, and no longer useful.
Retribution, revenge, payback. The Andrew Cuomo style of governing. No thanks.
