The Postal Service is exactly that: a service. One that brings us our medicine, allows us to vote, and reaches every neighbor no matter how rural because it is a service not driven by profit seeking.

MHVDSA HAS OVER 1,000 MEMBERS! 📣‼️ We’re building a multiracial working class movement to put power in the hands of the many, not the elite few. To quote Jane McAlevey, “The 1% have a vast armory of material resources and political special forces, but the 99% have an army.” 🌹 mhvdsa.org/join

BREAKING: Following the killings of two innocent immigrant fathers, I co-authored a letter with @juliasalazar.bsky.social and @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social and signed by 100+ NYS elected officials calling on Schumer, Jeffries, and all congressional Democrats to demand the abolition of ICE. 🧵 1/6

It’s July 1. Today, nearly half a million New Yorkers will lose healthcare. Governor Hochul could have stopped this for less than 1% of the final state budget. Instead, she put wealthy donors over our lives.

Central Hudson raised our gas and electric rates again on 7/1, but grid resiliency has gotten worse! Many of my constituents lost power for 3 days. We need the Hudson Valley Power Authority, a public utility that will invest in trimming trees, burying lines, and lowering bills.

We tabled and marched throughout the Hudson Valley this Pride to talk to community members about democratic socialism and to build support for our legislative priorities like NY Health Act, Gender-Affirming Care Access Program, and a 24/7 hotline for LGBTQIA+ individuals in need.

I enjoyed celebrating Pride in Poughkeepsie, New Paltz, Newburgh, and Kingston with @mhvdsa.bsky.social 🌈 Trump, the Supreme Court, and many states are attacking trans people and the entire LGBTQIA+ community. We will never stop organizing to demand the freedom and dignity we deserve ✊

Last night @socialists.nyc and @buffalodsa.bsky.social won 2 federal elections and 7 state elections (not including incumbents)! I’m proud to have canvassed for all these candidates. We beat AIPAC, billionaires, and corporations. Democratic socialism will defeat fascism 🌹 Join DSA: dsausa.org/join

We only have 8 days left to elect champions who will stand up to the corporate establishment. Taxing the rich, abolishing ICE, universal childcare, green social housing & more all start with winning these races. Get out the vote before June 23! dsa.nyc/gotv

It was great to be with past City of Poughkeepsie Eighth Ward Councilmember Megan Deichler and current City of Poughkeepsie Eighth Ward Councilmember Daniel Atonna at Saturday’s Dutchess County Pride Parade.

As a Socialist in Office, I’m proud to canvass for 10 @socialists.nyc candidates and @buffalodsa.bsky.social’s @bojak4assembly.bsky.social! Vote 6/23 for an affordable NY 🌹

We have one week left until voting starts, and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @dianaforqueens.com and Sen. Robert Jackson know what it takes for us to win. Thank you for coming up to the Heights on Saturday! RSVP at the link in our bio to volunteer for your next shift 🌹

What a beautiful day to canvass for two powerful women, @darializaforny.bsky.social and Aber Kawas! From Upper Manhattan to Queens, we are building a people-powered movement that is ready to fight and win for the working class. I am honored to support them.✊🏽

We had some very special guests join our canvass in Washington Heights today 👀👀 Thank you to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @dianaforqueens.com and Sen. Robert Jackson for coming out to rally with us! Together, we’re going to bring leadership that fights for working people back to NY-13 on June 23.

Democratic socialists believe in a strong, fighting labor movement that leaves no one behind! That’s why we march on picket lines, support unionization campaigns and rally to protect immigrant workers. Join @demsocialists.bsky.social and organize your workplace 🌹✊ dsausa.org/join @mhvdsa.bsky.social

BREAKING: We’ve reintroduced now-Mayor Zohran Mamdani and @jabaribrisport.bsky.social's Not on Our Dime! Act in the State Assembly to bar New York nonprofits from funding Israeli war crimes. Not Another Dime for Israeli War Crimes!

Strong candidate (state elected with a base) + strategic district (most Democratic in the US) + populist Left platform (Medicare For All, Abolish ICE, Free Palestine) + knock 100k doors + grassroots fundraising + savvy comms + key endorsements = Win. It's not easy, but DSA can do it! 🌹

There is a new Democratic Socialist in Congress. DSA congratulates our member Chris Rabb on his election for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District. This victory would not have been possible without the work of thousands of working class people across Philadelphia organizing for a better world.

My fourth monthly ward meeting will be on Monday, 4/27 from 6-8 PM on Zoom. City of Poughkeepsie Ward 8 residents can comment below, direct message me, or email datonna@cityofpoughkeepsie.gov to get on my list for updates about in-person or virtual ward meetings. Thanks!

“With what we’ve accomplished in 14 weeks, imagine what we can do together in four years.” Zohran’s sewer socialism is showing that government can work for working people — and that we shouldn’t settle for less.

I was proud to join @mhvdsa.bsky.social protesting the illegal US-Israel war on Iran. Trump threatened genocide of 93 million Iranians by saying “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” Congress should impeach then remove him and block all funding for bombs!

Last month, I was elected by our democratic socialist movement to fight for an affordable NY and oppose Trump’s authoritarianism. And if we want to succeed, we’ll need more working class champions in office. That’s why today, I’m endorsing the full @socialists.nyc @buffalodsa.bsky.social slate!

My third monthly ward meeting will be on Sunday, 3/29 at 12 PM on Zoom. City of Poughkeepsie Ward 8 residents can comment below, direct message me, or email datonna@cityofpoughkeepsie.gov to get on my list for updates about in-person or virtual ward meetings. Thank you!

I took office just over a month ago with a mandate to fight for an Astoria & Long Island City we can afford. Today, I voted YES on the Assembly's budget proposal which includes a version of my bill with @sengonzalezny.bsky.social to raise taxes on NYC's wealthiest corporations & raise $1.7 billion.

He's back and ready to secure a well-deserved win for the working class people of State Assembly District 65! Proud to endorse Illapa Sairitupac to take the fight against deportation, displacement, and climate catastrophe all the way to Albany.

It’s my last week working at For The Many after 4 years 🥲 Traveling the Hudson Valley to pass laws and win elections for a better NY has been an honor. I’ll always be a member, get involved: forthemany.org Next, I’m thrilled to join Team @dianaforqueens.com in the Assembly!
