I like my chances against Mike Rogers😊

Great to see this announcement of direct funding to support gender-affirming care for trans youth from @mayor.nyc.gov -- these supports are more essential than ever in the face of federally sanctioned transphobia. www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

Brooklyn Can't Wait wasn't created to "overthrow" anyone. It united clubs around the District Leader Pledge which formalized a shared standard of transparency and accountability. That's what kept us together through disagreements on candidates and what prevents reform from becoming another machine.

A group of reformers who have been fighting for years to overthrow the Brooklyn Democratic Party leadership finally won the majority they need to take over the county party and oust chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn. "As long as the coalition stays together we can elect whoever the hell we want."

new yorkers en masse have expressed their enthusiasm for democratic socialism. but these forty men surveyed in the waiting room of the coeur d’alene family court have a different perspective

From one of our LID members upon hearing that we won the majority “I waited for this my entire political life in Brooklyn. Since 1983.”

Brooklyn Can't Wait candidates are now uncontested or leading in 22 seats, out of 42 that is a majority, enough to elect a new chair I think we did it

Happy Election Day, Brooklyn! If you haven't voted yet, don't forget to vote today! Polls are open until 9 PM. Please join LID in supporting these awesome candidates!

Authentic question because I can’t find the answer: Which, if any, NYCHA tenant associations have endorsed Claire Valdez?

Happy Pride everyone! Happy to see our LID President @smfox.bsky.social honored as a Pride Trailblazer by City and State New York! Congrats on the well-deserved honor, Stephanie! www.cityandstateny.com/power-lists/...

This month we have a chance to finally turn the page on the Brooklyn Democratic Party machine. But they are going to spend big to defend the corrupt status quo. A donor is currently matching donations 2x — chip in what you can today at brooklyncantwait.com and let's win the party we deserve!

Good to know that if I ever became mayor there would be a desk my size!

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 2mo ago

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

love this op-ed by @patrickhart.bsky.social !

Patrick Hart@patrickhart.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Pleased to share my latest op-ed on the importance of supporting grassroots community-based organizations, and how we've done this work at @cunyislg.bsky.social. Thrilled to collaborate with the ICARE Coalition (an amazing organization!) on this piece.

Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did today.

Despite the downpour, we had a great time knocking on doors yesterday for Antonio Reynoso in Fort Greene! Proud to support this progressive champion for Congress in NY-07!

Very disappointing (but not surprising) to see the Brooklyn Democratic Party fighting to disenfranchise voters, demoralize grassroots activists, and keep community leaders off the ballot. Our County Party deserves inclusive leadership that works to uplift all Democrats.

🚨 Today, we witnessed an alarming attack on ballot access in New York City 🚨 Brooklyn Democratic Party leaders are fighting to block two Stop Deed Theft advocates from running for District Leader in Bed-Stuy... (thread)

I very rarely comment on races outside of Brooklyn. But @lindseyboylan.bsky.social is the best pro-affordability candidate in both policy and alignment with the Mayor. If none of that is reason enough, she is also the most anti-Cuomo candidate.

New York Focus@nysfocus.com · 3mo ago

NEW: A super PAC tied to allies of former governor Andrew Cuomo has spent six figures on a NYC Council race. The spending is meant to defeat Lindsey Boylan, a former aide who was the first person to publicly accuse Cuomo of sexual harassment. nysfocus.com/2026/04/27/c...

Pam Bondi is out of a job! Now most of media is focused on her Epstein file legacy. However few people are discussing her role in weaponizing the law enforcement system, first in Florida and then nationwide, against trans people.

Trans Day of texting your trans friends “👀”

“We need a functioning DHS” yeah ok, the Thong Song was around before DHS

I'd like to speak with trans adults (18+) whose access to transition care has changed due to state and/or federal policy changes. DM, email Jo.Yurcaba@nbcuni.com or Signal joyurcaba.91

You know who’s not starting an economic crisis? The Gays of Hormuz

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
