Very left wing vibes here at the press conference for the American Federation of Musicians Local 802's endorsement of Zohran Mamdani. Union members play in Mamdani with a rendition of "Solidarity Forever."

My mayor ♥️♥️♥️

Art can't just be a luxury for the few. That requires a city where artists can actually afford to live and create, and where musicians don't just receive recognition but fair pay. That's what Local 802 AFM organizes for and I'm so proud to have their endorsement.

Had a great meeting with Zohran Kwame Mamdani and am deeply impressed by the grassroots campaign he is running. The Oligarchs are prepared to undermine democracy & spend tens of millions to buy the election for his opponents. We will not allow that to happen. Stand with Zohran.

Bernie may be the great Senator from Vermont but he’s Brooklyn through and through. An absolute honor to meet with one of my heroes and the champion for working people across our country, Bernie Sanders.

If Democrats know what’s good for their future, they must embrace ⁦Zohran Kwame Mamdani⁩. He’s creating new hope among many who’d given up. & generating more excitement than all of the gray “centrist” folks combined. They shouldn’t try to tame, muzzle, or mold him. He’s real!

Being younger isn’t enough of a reason to back a candidate. Picking younger candidates with no values (or bad values) will only leave us worse off in the long run. Check their policies, look at who their early donors are, and ask local folks.

The right to a public defender is a product of Communists Party's Scottsboro Boys campaign. I just need folks to pretend they care about the historical and poltical context of concepts and roles like public defender's It's why PD's get defunded but cops are funded

Many indp. fighters remain unknown bc of their progressive politics & oppo to post-lib regimes. Yi Wŏn-sik (1913-1978) was one. A teacher-intellectual, he joined anti-Japanese and leftist labour struggles at 17, studied Esperanto, and used his med. practice to aid the poor.

Something better is possible.

Bernie spent some time in his life on a Kibbutz in Israel, and when I think of how Adam Friedland talked about his own struggle with this moment and what it said of his Jewishness, I’m sure this is not easy to say — but it’s correct and very welcome.

Sen. Bernie Sanders Thank you Bernie. A word to critics: back off! Sen. Sanders has done more to support rights & justice for Palestinians than anyone in the Senate. Why the continued harassment? You may think you’re helping. You are not. There are plenty of folks to go after. Leave allies alone.

I'm proud to stand in solidarity with the 30,000 Kaiser nurses & health care workers striking in California & Hawaii against corporate greed. If Kaiser can pay its CEO $12.7 million & make $4 billion in profit, it can afford to treat all of its workers with respect, not contempt.

he credited the late Michael Brooks with moving his politics

There is a lot of debate on the left about No Kings and people making fun of it for being too liberal or not a real protest or whatever. I also see a lot of people who nobody would debate are on the left who went and took advantage of it to sell their politics to normie liberals.

"Without the night shift, there is no morning." Late Thursday night, I canvassed the taxi line at LaGuardia — and caught up with some old friends from NY Taxi Workers.

Kim Yong Nam shed tears while others smiled as athletes from the two Koreas marched in together. The old man wept every time North & South Korea came together during the Olympics, carrying the pain of division and war. Rest in peace, we will build the peace you longed for. 🇰🇵🇰🇷🙏

Look at this and then think back to how Kamala Harris responded to protestors with "I'm speaking"

There is no ceasefire.
