Billionaires are spending record money in the midterms to stop anti-billionaire candidates like @abdulelsayed.bsky.social and @angieforfl.bsky.social from winning. But people power beat oligarchy in the primaries, and can do it again in November. Here's Carla Marie on how:
DREAM for NYC
@dreamfornyc.bsky.social
We’re going to make New York as good as the people who live in it. Because this year, New Yorkers Tax The Rich. dreamfornyc.com/action
The latest AI plan to destroy your future is Anthropic's IPO, which will force pensions, 401ks, and retirement funds to buy its wildly unprofitable stock. We joined Stop Funding Billionaires in NYC last night to tell City Hall: don't let AI billionaires write their own rules. Stop the IPO now!
Happy Rent Freeze Day to all 2.4 million New Yorkers in rent stabilized apartments ❤️
Sex pest Steve Wynn ($4.3B) and former Trump Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross ($600M) are suing to stop the pied-á-terre tax on second homes worth over $5M on the grounds that it targets owners who don't live in New York. Which is the definition of a pied-á-terre 🤭
UPDATE: All these Oligarchs are now Wanted for crimes against humanity as well.
‘Wanted’ flyer-style wheatpastes now up in midtown Manhattan via the ‘Department of Class Solidarity’. The signage highlights that Benjamin Netanyahu is responsible for the U.S.-funded genocide of Palestinians. Comes ahead of Netanyahu’s speech at the U.N. General Assembly.
🚨Benjamin Netanyahu Wanted posters going up all over NYC🚨 The US has paid $21.7 billion to fund his genocide in Gaza.
It takes 20 paragraphs to get to this buried lede in the article with a headline alleging Mamdani has a “private army” and an “influencer operation run out of the mayor’s office”
The Times describes this as an "influencer operation" but it kinda just seems like ... Mamdani is popular? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/n...
The Oligarchy’s top front in NYC will do anything to stop Mayor Mamdani’s working class agenda. And they’ve tapped disastrous ex-mayor Steve Fulop to lead their crusade.
We are seeing an increased ICE presence in NYC - making it imperative that NYers KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. I wrote a comic with @mayor.nyc.gov @nycimmigrants.bsky.social @davidhahn.bsky.social @elllewrightart.bsky.social @tayloresposito.bsky.social to do that! DOWNLOAD: www.weteachnyc.org/resources/co...
According to @moreperfectunion.bsky.social New York is seeking $36 billion in damages. Kalshi is valued at $22 billion. 😈
BREAKING: New York just sued Kalshi for running an illegal gambling operation. The lawsuit filed today by New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges Kalshi circumvented obtaining a state gambling license to avoid regulation and taxes.
Jeff Bezos shut down Venice for his wedding. Taylor Swift is shutting down New York's Midtown for hers. Billionaire shouldn't be able to disrupt entire cities on a whim.
Billionaires are flooding Harlem, putting over $7 million dollars behind once of the most controversial incumbents in New York. Here's who they are, and what they want⤵️ espaillatsreceipts.com

MY MAYOR MUSLIM MY CITY ALIVE FUCK TRUMP TISCH AND DOLAN KNICKS IN FIVE
Since becoming Mayor, Zohran Mamdani has successfully navigated a historic blizzard, cracked down on bad landlords, balanced the city budget, won a tax on the rich, and now overseen a Knicks Finals Game One win. New York is entering a new golden age under sewer socialism.
The fight to tax the rich is just beginning. Our Statement on Mayor Madani's NYC Executive Budget:
When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.
Sounds like @governor.ny.gov is lying about the budget being over so we stop pressuring her to Tax The Rich! Time to hit those phones even harder: 518-474-8390 Here's Hasan with what to say:
Update: After Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a $268 billion state budget deal Thursday, state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie shot back, saying there was no agreement. www.thecity.nyc/2026/05/07/h...
Someone should ask @governor.ny.gov if she thinks so, since it's certainly how she's acting!
Is the phrase "tax the rich" the same as uttering "some disgusting racial slurs"? The answer to that question, apparently, depends on your net worth.
Kathy Hochul is going to force austerity on NYC in order to give people like this a tax break:
Shocking stuff from the CEO of Vornado Realty Trust on his latest earnings call:
Our pressure has made a new window, but there's little time left. If @governor.ny.gov's budget goes through, New York will face devastating Eric Adams-style cuts. Here's @cassiewillson.bsky.social with what you can do. Call Hochul at (518) 474-8390 to reject #KathysCuts, and demand she #TaxTheRich!
I love this 😂

Kathy Hochul has a choice: Either gamble with New York’s future by banking on billionaires like Ken Griffin, or secure it, by taxing them
