“J̶e̶w̶i̶s̶h̶ ZIONIST Democrats in Congress sound the alarm on Mamdani”
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5390953-jewish-democrats-in-congress-sound-the-alarm-on-mamdani/
🗣 STOP SAYING JEWISH WHEN YOU MEAN ZIONIST
the day zionists embraced fascist “CHRISTIAN ZIONISTS” support of Palestinian #genocide, that is the day they lost all claims of zionism as being Judaism.
Jerrold Nadler, Brian Lander, Jamie Raskin ―three Jewish mensches who support Zohran Mamdani.
Wasserman-Schulz is a genocide-enabling zionist, not even from #NYC.

Alice Austen’s body of work is considered among the earliest and most prolific by a female photographer.
Now recognized for her significant contributions to the canon of American photography and her heretofore ignored yet influential role in LGBTQ+ history, the pioneering photographer's archive returns to her ancestral home in New York.

I'm about as strategic a voter as they come ... in general elections. If it's down to two evils, I'm there, every single time, first in line to vote for the lesser one.
But I will scream until my dying day that primaries just aren't for that. Primaries are about preference. They're for picking the one you like best. That's why I love giant primaries with a dozen candidates and ranked choice voting. It's my favorite kind of democracy. It's both effective and sincerely fun for me.
So if you're in New York City, a city I love but don't vote in, please vote your preference, not what someone else tells you is smart or strategic. Vote your values and don't believe them when they say you have to compromise. Not yet. And please, please, don't rank Cuomo.
"Here’s everything we know about this year’s primary results, from how the votes are counted to when we can expect to see unofficial and official results:"

Y’ALL! DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TODAY IN #nyc? THE YOUTH CAME OUT TO VOTE IN A PRIMARY!
once the dust settles, we will find out that the nightmare of the fascist-lite Democrats, the youth, came out to vote them out. and by youth, i mean people under 40 years of age.
so prepare to see republicans and their Democratic Party bootlickers to do everything in their power to sabotage Mamdani.

A key part of the New York City mayoral races was Ranked Choice Voting.
I'm not seeing many news articles mention this yet (correct me if I'm wrong though!).
Ranked choice let's us vote first for who we actually want.... and then put in backup votes for "good enough" candidates and allows us to compromise and find common ground.
It destroys the concepts of "lesser of two evils" and "throwing away your vote".
I hope we see Ranked Choice voting everywhere.
"OK so masked #ICE goons kidnapping law abiding people off the street is traumatic but #MAGA just cares about legal #immigration, it's not just some sadistic #racist bullshi-"
"The #NewYork Young #Republican Club (#NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran #Mamdani of his #citizenship and deport him"
🤦🤦🤦
Fucking #bigots. All they have is cheating and abuse and lies. All they have

Former NYPD Commissioner Accuses Mayor Adams of Running “Criminal Enterprise” and Cites ProPublica Investigation
—
A lawsuit filed by former Commissioner Thomas Donlon alleges that the NYPD’s Community Response Team was a “rogue” unit that answered “only to City Hall.” The complaint draws extensively from ProPublica’s reporting.
They always would rather punch left than punch Nazis
I DON’T TALK TO COPS but to y’all #ACAB out there stalking people as a side-hustle…

don’t pretend to be taking pics of your friend ―standing in the middle of the sidewalk as people are trotting down 7th avenue to the subway station― whilst you are zooming into the window of an apartment in the bulding across the street.
i wasn’t the only one who noticed your charade.

#Trump said Tuesday he would arrest #ZohranMamdani if the #NYC Democratic mayoral nominee doesn't allow federal #immigration officials to arrest undocumented #immigrants in the city.

if Texas is creating more congressional districts, #NYC ALONE could topple that in an instant. my congressional “neighborhood”
New York's 12th congressional district

NYC should triple if not double the amount of people we send to DC. 750,000 per district is too much. that should be divided into smaller blocks.
unfortunately, the NY #democrats leadership are pussies.
