I spoke to @abcnews during their coverage of this historic race. My conversation with Pheobe Hosier was on Election Day, November 4th, well before polls closed. I'm so proud to have been part of @ZohranKMamdani's campaign.

This morning, I became the first New York City Mayor to visit Housing Court. And what I saw will stay with me for a long time. Families on the brink of losing their homes. Tenants navigating unsafe conditions, harassment, and uncertainty, searching for justice in an overwhelming system. Small property owners trying to keep up with their mortgage payments. I met with Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas, New York City Administrative Judge Shahabuddeen Ally, and other members of the bench, and I walked through Resolution, HP, and NYCHA Parts. I spoke with people in intake, with legal service providers, and with the advocates who show up every day to stand beside New Yorkers who need support. Housing court is where the promises we make about dignity, stability and public excellence are tested in real time. In the months ahead, my team will work closely with the Chief Judge and the Chief Administrative Judge to confront the concerns we heard — directly from judges, tenants, landlords, legal service providers, and advocates.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers in the facility were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to The Western Edge. Link: thewesternedge.media/p/everyone-is-….

Thousands of workers are threatening to strike at the Los Angeles World Cup stadium. The SoFi Stadium plans to host two of the three US Men's World Cup matches, but now 2,000 cooks, servers, bartenders and more may strike. Their main issue? ICE being present at the World Cup.

@MorePerfectUS @kksteffany This is SOLIDARITY!!!

Don't listen to anyone who suggests the political revolution happening in NYC was inevitable. People who were there at the start were told it was impossible. If it seems impossible where you live, it isn't. They told us that too. Democratic socialism can win anywhere.

Darializa was just arrested along with 100 others. We are sick and tired of our government telling us that we don't have money to feed and house our children, while spending billions to drop bombs on children halfway around the world. We must have politics that invest in life!

Reflections from the People’s Majority on a new era and 100 Days of a mayor who answers to people, not profit We’re now 100 days into a project that took over a year of canvassing, meetings, and calls—and many more years of organizing—to make possible. Read more 🧵

@PaperboyPrince For about a decade I had to move every year bc rent was so damn high, I was illegally evicted a year and a half ago, in a new apt now and neighborhood yet again—when am I allowed to run for office if I wanted to?

Dsa new candidate just moved to the neighborhood a few years ago, and admitted in his disclosures that he is a landlord with property in Georgia owned by him and his family… I confidently talk to more ppl in Bushwick and Cypress Hills than most. No one knows who he is so they are going to pump lots of money from out of nyc (check donations) to push a landlord from Georgia to help out nyc tenants? This is why we keep getting screwed. Julia Salazar is was the leader of the young Republican club in her college in Florida - now she’s a “socialist” in Bushwick… but I’ve lived here since she’s been elected - gentrification has only gotten worse and rents are growing rapidly in her district. This will be the same with this guy - why do they deliberately get folks who were never in the community and don’t align with our interests to “fight for us” … you aren’t fighting for us - you are clearly a part of the problem. Rich white kids and Landlords from Georgia pushing socialism will never liberate us. Why does dsa keep ignoring this fact ? I wish I wasn’t right about this

NEW: Kathy Hochul's biggest donors are running a $10 million campaign against a tax increase on the rich. While the governor lobbies against the tax increase in Albany, her billionaire donors like the Rudin family are bankrolling the Coalition for New York’s Future. They’re trying to block Mamdani’s tax proposals that would put them on the hook for a 2% tax increase.

There is a “creep list” bc people can’t afford to speak out and potentially lose their careers, even if they are being r@ped by a lawmaker—the current system is designed to support a culture of oppression and abuse.

Noticing there’s been a new social strategy or new hire for this gov account, and now it’s giving uncanny valley posts. Just me?

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani is fulfilling his campaign promise to open 5 city-run grocery stores across NYC. @NYCMayor told us the stores will: - Offer staple goods at a reduced price, subsidized by the city. - Contract a private vendor to run the stores who will be required to pay workers union wages. La Marqueta in East Harlem, first opened as a public market by Mayor LaGuardia in 1936, will house one of the stores.

Big congratulations to my brother, @zohrankmamdani, on his first 100 days in office. He was elected by the people, and in these first 100 days he’s done exactly what they asked for: showing up, listening, and putting in the work for our city. Pa’lante siempre.

What a bunch of nerds we are I love it so much 🥰

@EthanNichols02 Yah it’s not like a VIP section 🤷

@KrisTeschner This feels like the really really obvious answer too…

FYI at rallies, corporate media has generally been toward the back with huge cameras on tripods, digital and social creators in the front is aligned with their equipment and content form.

That’s right!!!

NEW YORK IS A UNION TOWN @ZohranKMamdani @BernieSanders @FlyingWithSara

@RossBarkan @BarneysRubble0 TikTok ppl is prob a reductive joke?

@BarneysRubble0 It means TikTok people

The "Union Now" rally with Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani has a "new media" (influencers etc.) section up front and "traditional" media far in the back. Not a fan!
