I find it incredibly powerful that Zohran is closing his campaign with visits with @NYTWA, with cabbies that he sat with for days in a hunger strike against city maltreatment.

"Without the night shift, there is no morning." Late Thursday night, I canvassed the taxi line at LaGuardia — and caught up with some old friends from @NYTWA.

I’m deeply concerned about a data center built by tech billionaires who are openly cozying up to Trump and attacking our democracy. We should be fighting to lower our energy bills and protect our Great Lakes, not announcing projects that will raise rates & drain water resources.

Inbox: Gov. Whitmer says Michigan has been selected for a multibillion-dollar OpenAI Stargate project, to be built by Oracle and Related Digital. 'Today, we won the largest economic project in Michigan history.'



When you put it that way for some reason it really speaks to me

The transition team is very good.

Lina Khan, as she is announced as being part of Zohran Mamdani’s transition team: “I think what we saw last night was New Yorkers not just electing a new mayor, but clearly rejecting a politics where outside corporate power and money too often.”



YES. Eliminate the conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. Elite immunity for lawbreaking, extreme concentrated corporate power, offshoring jobs, elections funded by capital, exploitative work, yes, attack gross distortions of power at the root, not just the branch.

Mamdani says New York gave rise to Trump, and now will end his reign: "If there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by eliminating the conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. ...Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."

Defeating Andrew Cuomo (again) feels phenomenal, don’t get me wrong. But defeating the *politics* of Andrew Cuomo — the politics of fear, predatory behavior, racism, divisiveness, bullying — feels even better.


Incredible work

Looks like Democrats have seized the Dutchess County Legislature for I think the first time ever



Mayor elect Sean Ryan in Buffalo and Zohran Mamdani in NYC both are deeply opposed to noncompete agreements Hochul could just come out now in favor of a noncompete NY ban that would be good. She vetoed Sean’s bill last time.


As long as we are just here twitterelishing I like remembering how hard Assemblyman Mamdani went against fracked gas power plants in his district and New York. nyassembly.gov/mem/Zohran-K-M…

🚨It's all over🚨 Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City. He is on track to eclipse 50% of the vote. Mamdani will also surely surpass 1M votes, which has not been done since John Lindsay in 1969.


Readers, this happened.

If Zohran Mamdani wins tomorrow, he’ll have defeated not just Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. He’ll have defeated DoorDash, Airbnb, Mike Bloomberg, Walmart heiress Alice Walton, Bill Ackman, and a long list of billionaire donors. jacobin.com/2025/06/mamdan…

What about no NDAs for data centers is a basic rule? Or no NDAs for economic development?

11 years ago, with far less political experience than Zohran Mamdani, @superwuster and I launched a campaign against Andrew Cuomo, his corrupt politics and his donor-based economic development, his trickle down dismissiveness, his ruthless starving of schools and infrastructure.…

I covered one in Albany earlier this year where his people let out a literal sigh of relief when I showed up so there would be even a single media microphone on their lectern.

I remember when almost no media covered Zohran’s press conferences…
