I'm sorry, but the Democratic establishment doesn't get to say "these are low turnout primaries, they don't mean anything." Ritchie Torres, who unlike Espaillat and Goldman, *trounced* his primary challenger got a *total* of 24k votes. Chevalier got 33k Valdez got 38k Lander got 55k

Friends, if you follow me, it's almost certainly because of the electoral work I do. So fwiw, let me just say: This NYC voter guide by @jfrejnyc.bsky.social for the June 2026 primary races is by far the best one I have seen. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING IT TO GUIDE YOUR CHOICES! jfrej.org/ballot

Worth noting that in 1921, the American Yiddish-language press described the anti-Black Tulsa massacre as a “pogrom,” because they knew that was the word that would best make their immigrant Ashkenazi Jewish readers understand what happened. ingeveb.org/blog/the-mos...

The Israel Parade has never been neutral. It’s never been a parade that is about NYCs rich Jewish heritage. I went to my first Jewish protest at the parade over 20 years ago and did so every year for years, usually alongside beloved Palestinian allies. Here’s a couple different year flyers. 1/2

Flyer text
WE SALUTE...
DEMOCRACY. That's why we insist upon the right of all people living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean
Sea to decide their future.
JEWISH TRADITION. That's why we oppose the IDF's policy of cutting down Palestinian olive trees: “Even if you are at war with a city…you must not destroy its trees” (Deuteronomy
20:19-20).
CONNECTION TO HOME. That's why we work for the right of Palestinian refugees who lost their homes in the 1948 war to
return to available land in Israel or be fairly restituted.
SAFETY THROUGH PROSPERITY. That's why we’re pained by Israel's efforts to undermine a stable Palestinian economy by
denying farmers access to their land and water.
JEWISH AND HUMAN SURVIVAL. That's why we seek the end of the Occupation. Rami Elhanan, a Jewish Israeli whose
14-year old daughter Smadar was killed in a suicide bombing, said: “Our daughter was killed because of the terror of the Israeli
occupation. Every innocent victim on both sides is a victim of
the occupation. The occupation is the cancer feeding Palestinian
terror.”Bild

AOC: We rely on hundreds of thousands of home care workers across the country. This labor force is going to expand a lot as more of our parents reach older age, and these folks need to be paid a fair wage. These are some of the most exploited workers in the country.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.
