I’m Cuban American. For the sake of both countries, Trump’s siege must end | Danny Valdes
Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, crushes our people and calls it freedom. We want engagement, not escalation

The U.S. has counted on Cuba’s “fall” for decades and been wrong at every turn. It’s on us, as Americans, to organize against this naked imperialism. We need to stop Trump’s war machine and undo decades of U.S. economic warfare on Cuba.
Trump: "Cuba will be failing pretty soon"
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
After a lot of thought, I’m not running for office this cycle. Grateful for the support I received and more committed than ever to building working-class power. Let’s organize and elect NYC-DSA candidates ready to fight for a democratic socialist future: socialists.nyc/candidates/
15,000 @nynurses.bsky.social are on strike in NYC. I’m proud to stand with them. Nurses are the backbone of our hospitals. When they fight for fair contracts, they’re fighting for patient safety too. To the private hospitals still holding out: give nurses the contract they deserve!
Nearly 15,000 NYSNA nurses from Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside and West, Montefiore, and NewYork-Presbyterian are on strike today because greedy hospital management have given frontline nurses no other choice.
Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.
Our members have sent thousands of letters demanding a WPR on Venezuela and will continue to demand Congress hold this administration accountable for its illegal invasion and kidnapping in Venezuela
Big setback for the White House as 5 GOP Senators join all Democrats in voting to start debate on a war powers resolution re: Venezuela. Murkowski AK Young IN Paul KY Collins ME Hawley MO
Tonight hundreds of NYers gathered to demand accountability for the murder of Renee Nicole Good. ICE has torn families apart and it is now targeting the observers of its crimes. There must be no level of cooperation with Trump’s gestapo in NYC or beyond. ABOLISH ICE!
When you send armed agents into communities to kidnap our neighbors, this kind of violence is bound to happen. That's why an attack on our immigrant brothers and sisters is an attack on all of us. ICE must be abolished.
Last night, @socialists.nyc honored trans lives we should never have lost. Their memory calls us to do better. New York must lead by guaranteeing trans healthcare, trans rights, and proud, dignified lives for all.
Grateful to be included in this @elpais.com piece on Cuban-Americans who voted for Zohran. Our generation isn’t scared of the word “socialism.” We’re scared of rent, medical debt, and living on a knife’s edge. That’s why we’re choosing a different politics.

A beautiful day to stand with New Yorkers and say: the new gilded age ends here. We’re going to take the wealth that working people create every day and invest it to build a city and state that puts working people, not billionaire donors, first. TAX THE RICH! 📸: @harrison-cn.bsky.social
Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
Tomorrow at noon we launch an essential fight for the affordability agenda. Zohran can’t do it alone. It will take a movement to push Albany to put working New Yorkers before billionaire donors and tax the rich. Join us! actionnetwork.org/events/tax-t...

Last night I announced my intention to run for an open Assembly seat in AD-75 — and I did it in the only place I can imagine doing so: @socialists.nyc
DSA stands in absolute opposition to the proposed deal to pass Trump's billionaire budget. Healthcare is a right, not a bargaining chip.

On Tuesday, Americans delivered a message to democrats in the loudest possible terms: DON'T CAVE. But instead of meeting the moment, Schumer is smothering it. We need leaders willing to fight authoritarianism and oligarchy tooth and nail.
Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?
Lindsey’s tenacious bravery in speaking out against Cuomo’s treatment of women was the first domino that helped bring us to last night’s victory. I’m proud to call her a friend and a fellow Democratic Socialist.

Almost a year ago, we hosted a small fundraiser in our living room for a friend, organizer, and socialist in office running what felt like a long-shot campaign for mayor. Look at how far we've come. When we fight together, we win. And we’re just getting started. 🌹❤️🔥
Honored to share some words with @socialists.nyc members and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social supporters on a historic night. We've got a city to win. We've got a state to win. We've got a country to win. We've got a world to win. JOIN DSA TODAY: socialists.nyc/join
Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge. As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city. Tomorrow, we win it together.
The amount of hustle @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @socialists.nyc have shown in the last week is beyond belief. Legendary stuff worthy of the history books. The DSA difference🌹
