For decades, we've been sold the lie that empire advances freedom and keeps us safe. Instead, it's led to violence, instability and a ruling class that reaps the profits but never pays the bill.
Today we're releasing our vision for a different foreign policy: clairevaldezforcongress.com/nowar

I heard there’s a job opening in Astoria. I asked the Mayor if I have a shot.
We said what we said.
Congratulations to SMC member Cea Weaver on her appointment as director of the Office to Protect Tenants!!
Under Cea's leadership, the Office will become an important tool in protecting the rights of working-class New Yorkers and furthering Zohran's affordability agenda.
I’m extremely proud to announce that eight @socialists.nyc Socialists in Office have endorsed our campaign!
I’ll be ready on Day One to work alongside these working-class champions to deliver an affordable New York and protect our neighborhoods from the rising tide of fascism.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.
And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

Over and over when we see these videos, there are little children dressed up to support their parents in court—who then are forced to witness their loving caregivers being beaten and kidnapped. I am so ashamed.

Caught today’s @arsenalfc.bsky.social match with Spike Lee in Fort Greene (not a sentence I ever thought I'd get to write).

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc
HAPPENING NOW: We’re at 26 Fed Plaza, where ICE has been kidnapping immigrant NYers, to demand access to the 10th fl - where people are being inhumanely detained - and to block ICE vans from leaving.
We refuse to stand by while ICE abducts our neighbors. Neither should our leaders. #ICEoutofNY
Happening NOW: New Yorkers Against ICE!
We are at 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE abducts immigrant New Yorkers, to demand access to the 10th floor and block ICE vans from leaving.
With a pivotal deadline looming next Friday, elected officials and family members of Win Rozario are urging NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch to quickly level disciplinary charges against the officers involved in the killing of the 19-year-old at his home last year.

Eric Adams’ Rent Guidelines Board just voted to increase your rent for the 4th year in a row. It will be the last.
Tenants across NYC have already spoken: we demand a rent freeze, and Zohran Mamdani will deliver it.
"Our future will not be different until we make a different a choice."
New ad feat. @aoc.bsky.social now airing across New York City.
Hearing from sources that a new NYC mayoral race poll is about to drop showing Zohran Mamdani clinching the No. 1 spot from Andrew Cuomo for the first time.
When I was canvassing for Zohran a woman walked right up to me and when I asked if she wanted go sign she said “I’m Jessica Ramos” and seemed SO pissed I didn’t recognize her and it’s like well whose fault is that?
Our new ad is now live.
Freeze the rent.
NEW:
Andrew Cuomo used ChatGPT to help write the housing plan he released this weekend, which included several nonsensical passages. The plan even cites to ChatGPT on a section about the Rent Guidelines Board.
