@WillBredderman @escargotpro_ This map you posted also shows AOC handily winning Sunnyside, Jackson Heights, Corona, etc. AOC also beat Crowley in the Bronx in 2018. She very clearly won Latino voters in that election

The smart move the left made in New York, post-Bernie, was to find Black, Hispanic, and Asian candidates in its own ranks. They still usually lose among those voters (old Irish Joe Crowley even outran AOC in Latino neighorhoods) but secured crushing margins among educated whites

NY Left elections of past 10 years there have largely been latino grassroots candidates replacing latino establishment, black candidates replacing black establishment- the only ethnic pols to repeatedly be replaced were greeks, this stolen ανδρεία (valor)... also 1 bald Irish guy

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

I’m proud to endorse .@DarializaforNY for Congress. The daughter of a single mom and case worker, Darializa has dedicated her life to fighting for people too often left behind by government. She’s helped free neighbors wrongfully detained by ICE and has long believed in a politics rooted in affordability, dignity, and community. Her campaign is powered by working people ready to reject a politics of big money and demand something better. Let's go win this.

I am thrilled to have the endorsement of @NYCMayor. This time last year, I was canvassing Uptown and the Bronx in support of candidate Mamdani's affordability agenda, and today Mayor Mamdani is endorsing our campaign to bring that affordability agenda from Washington Heights to Washington, DC. Nos fuimosssssss🏎️🌬️

When New Yorkers uptown and in the Bronx go to the polls on June 23, we must ask ourselves one key question: have our lives gotten better in the 9 years since the incumbent Congressmember first went to Washington? Or have our rents risen, our grocery prices skyrocketed, and our neighbors been snatched by ICE with more and more frequency? The New Yorkers I've been hearing from — in Washington Heights, Kingsbridge, Harlem and beyond — are ready for a change. Join us on June 23, because Uptown and the Bronx deserves better. #VoteDarializa

Last year, @ZohranKMamdani showed the entire country that people power can beat a machine. I’m thrilled to have his support! I look forward to fighting for our shared vision of a more affordable New York—one where we invest in our communities, not in bombs abroad—in Congress.

New York State just authorized a land value tax that could generate billions of dollars for new transit. For the @NiskanenCenter, @aarmlovi and I wrote about how the renewal of § 119-r in the FY27 budget could unlock a virtuous cycle of infrastructure delivery in NYC.

We don't need to choose between protecting tenants and building more housing. Between fighting for NYCHA residents and homeowners. Between leading with the values that got us here and addressing the housing crisis.   Block by block, we can do it all.

The new USCIS policy would appear to require anyone who is currently in the US who marries a U.S. citizen to leave the country, potentially for months or years, to get an immigrant visa; rather than doing what has been the process for 66 years and just applying for a green card.
John J.S. Soriano@JohnJSSoriano

So if we had kids at the time she applied, my wife would have had to leave her children in the US to apply for a Green Card?

🚨 🚨 🚨 NEW: A shocking @USCIS memo seems to declare that hundreds of thousands of immigrants living in this country and applying for green cards must instead apply for visas abroad; which could MASSIVELY disrupt lives. 🧵 on what we know, and what we don’t.

USCIS@USCIS

USCIS is applying long-standing law and prior court decisions to require certain aliens with temporary visas who decide they want to permanently reside in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for permanent visas through the @StateDept. We're returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly. Here’s what you should know: uscis.gov/newsroom/news-…

Comparing Abigail Spanberger and Zohan Mamdani approximately half a year into their first term really demonstrates the stakes of the current battle for the future of the Democratic Party. After their respective elections, a lot of Third Way types argued that Zohran's win in NYC offered the Dem Party few if any lessons, and the real attention should be on folks like Spanberger. Fast forward, and Zohran is reinvigorating municipal institutions and doing a whole spectrum of things to make people believe that democratic government can, in fact, make a positive impact in their lives. Compare that to Spanberger, who is vetoing laws to support collective bargaining and protect immigrants and lower prescription drug prices. This really gets to the core divide between Dem factions right now: Between those who think Trump/MAGA appeared out of nowhere and so all we have to do is win one election against them, and those who understand that these forces arose out of a disillusionment with our democratic institutions -- a belief that the system isn't working and so we need a strongman to blow it up -- meaning that the only long-term solution (that can avoid a repeat of this Biden-wins-in-2020-but-Trump-is-back-in-2024 loop) is proving that democratic government can, in fact, work for regular people. In NYC, Zohran is doing that hard work of proving democratic (and Democratic) government can make a positive impact in people's lives. In Virginia, Spanberger -- after running and winning on an affordability message -- is doing favors for Big Pharma to stop legislation that could control prescription drug prices, i.e. resorting to the samed failed playbook that makes voters think, "Oh, GOP or Democrat, these politicians are all the same." At the state level, this is the kind of trajectory that will lock in a Republican gubernatorial victory in Virginia in three years. But bigger picture -- and as we think about the next presidential primary -- this demonstrates that the question must be not just who can win in 2028, but also what will they do after winning to ensure we're not right back in this fascism loop a few years later. We've talked a lot about how economic populism is our best frame for winning upcoming elections. But we should keep in mind that just as importantly, it's a necessary governance strategy to lock those wins in for the long term.

NEW: I looked at all of the vetoes from Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) over the last week, and they were even worse than you thought they were.
