Target is a business pillar of support for Trump's fascist regime whose cooperation with the regime must be broken. Let us support @handsoffnyc.bsky.social's call for both Target + Kingsbridge Associates, developer of the shopping plaza in Marble Hill, to stop letting ICE use its parking lot.

"Pillars of support" graphic from No Kings' "One Million Rising" training series on non-cooperation.

At the top are the words, "These are the pillars holding up the system." Below these words is a drawing of a structure reminiscent of the ancient Roman pantheon consisting of steps, a pitched roof, and 7 pillars in between.

To the left of the drawing appear the following text: "Every regime depends on the support of institutions," with the word "institutions" underlined and pointing to the pillars in the pantheon-like structure.

Six of the seven pillars are labeled: business, labor, faith, education, civil service, and military/police. The seventh pillar is unnamed but cracked and accompanied by the adjacent text: "Enough noncooperation will cause a pillar to be unreliable or completely defect."

What I find really promising about it is that instead of being subject to a strict public/private binary, it allows admins of a particular community to create elements that run along a spectrum between entirely private and entirely public. One way it does so is by allowing different kinds of feeds.

Screenshot showing the "Create a feed" page in Blacksky's Acorn (online community infrastructure) program.

The screenshot is on "Step 1 of 3" and asks, "What kind of feed are you making?" There are three feed types:

• Public community feed
• Hashtag feed
• Private member feed

Both substance and style: transforming a capitalist economy into a socialist one requires meeting BLM's divest-invest demands. But meeting these demands requires movement-building practices that make the abolition of policing, prisons, and criminalization central to many, many more white people.

Excerpt of two paragraphs from "The Democrats’ 'Woke' Panic and the Left’s Response," an interview by Hammer & Hope of Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor. Both paragraphs below are comments by Taylor; I've highlighted the second of the two paragraphs.
--
"I think that's really the question that isn't being asked in what we might call the woke wars, which AOC uncorked with her comment about "Woke 1" being crazy. In one part of the left, there's a defensive reaction; people are asking if AOC and others are dismissing wholesale movements against racism and attempts to deal with the issue of policing. And another part of the left seems to be saying that there were elements of those movement struggles that were useful, but there was also a way in which the practice of politics was alienating.

"It's important to untangle what we're talking about: Are we talking about the political demands from that period? Or are we talking about a style of politics that did become alienating? Many of the things that Mitchell was pointing out in his 2022 article were genuine. The role of neoliberal identity politics in that period meant that it was common sense in movements to believe that people of color should have the last word in any debate, regardless of what they were saying. Plus there was a tendency toward maximalist demands. Anyone who wasn't for the abolition of police without qualification was for the forces of capitalism. Where's the space for political debate and discussion? For allowing people to engage one another with the intention of persuading people? For making an argument and whatever the outcome of that argument still finding ways to work together? These are some of the questions that still need to be discussed. But the way that this discussion has emerged over the summer, it feels as if people on the left have retreated into camps instead of actually taking up the issues."

NYC, it's always been wise to keep masking up when indoors, but now is an especially wise time to do so. #CovidIsntOver

Screenshot of the Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative (PMC)'s COVID-19 Dashboard interactive map. This color-coded map shows information about estimated prevalence of COVID-19 by county:

• "Very low" level = pale blue-green;
• "Low" level = light green;
• "Moderate" level = orange;
• "High" level = red;
• "Very high" level = purplish red.

I've zoomed into the part of the map that shows the NYC metro area. Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens counties are in orange, while Manhattan and Staten Island are in light green; Nassau County is in red, while Suffolk County is purplish red.

On the right is information for Queens County (selected on the interactive map); among other details, it states that an estimated 2.2% of residents (or about 1 in 45 people) are actively infectious with SARS-CoV-2.

"Woke 1" hasn't yet happened. If it had, it would look like what Barbara Smith envisions here: a systematic effort—backed by governing power and funding, led disproportionately by Black working-class people—to eradicate white supremacy everywhere. Let this vision be what "Woke 1" conjures to mind.

Excerpt from "The problem is white supremacy," by Barbara Smith, published in the Boston Globe on June 29, 2020.
--
What if we launched an initiative on the scale of the Marshall Plan or the space race to eradicate white supremacy? What if it were led by experts with the most detailed knowledge of how white supremacy, in tandem with racial capitalism, operates — that is, poor and working-class people of color? What if these experts partnered with researchers, advocates, and practitioners to provide exhaustive documentation, analysis, and comprehensive recommendations for ending the scourge of white supremacy once and for all?
What if . . . ?

I agree with all 4 changes to Leftist electoral strategy—at least as applied to statewide races—recommended here, but to me by far the most important point is #3. We must steadily rely less on canvassing by strangers and more on building relational breadth. Relational is how we best money at scale.

Screenshot from "A Tale of Two Primaries: What El-Sayed and Hong can teach us about ground games, air wars, and taking socialist politics statewide," by Bennett Carpenter, Jeffrey L., and Max D., published in The New Liberator on Aug 18, 2026. The excerpt contains the 3rd of 4 bullet points in a set of recommended additions/changes to the socialist Left's electoral-strategy toolkit:
--
Preserve the power of volunteer-driven conversations while adapting how we reach voters. Volunteer-driven conversations should remain at the heart of our field model, but statewide campaigns will need to rely less exclusively on traditional canvassing and more on relational organizing-building networks of local volunteers who can organize their friends, coworkers, neighbors, and communities.

@janooforvt.bsky.social—the progressive sleeper hit of the summer who just won Vermont's Dem primary for governor—is leading the political charge for public banking on the east coast. One of the great POLITICAL virtues of public banks is that they appeal even to those who don't support #TaxTheRich.

@francescahongwi.bsky.social understands that the key / cornerstone / linchpin to realizing universal child care is ✨paying childcare workers✨ what they need and deserve. Fran is leading the way in WI—and leading the way in MN is @childcareforallmn.bsky.social.

Screenshot showing the first 4 full paragraphs of the plan for universal childcare by Francesca Hong's campaign for governor of Wisconsin.

A copy of the captured text is copied below; the paragraph I've highlighted in the screenshot is denoted below with asterisks (*).
--
UNIVERSAL CHILDCARE FOR WISCONSIN

Universal childcare benefits everyone - not just parents and kids. This is infrastructure. We fund roads and bridges because the economy can't function without them. Childcare is no different — parents can't work if they can't find care. Fran's plan treats child care as the essential public good it is.

FREE OR REDUCED CHILDCARE FOR FAMILIES
Most Wisconsin families will pay absolutely no out-of-pocket costs for childcare. Families who make more money will see their spending capped on a sliding scale, hitting a maximum of the federal affordability standard of 7% (or lower, depending on the true cost of care).

*PAY CHILD CARE WORKERS WHAT THEY DESERVE
You can't have universal child care if workers are fleeing the profession. Fran's model includes increased reimbursement rates to providers and loan forgiveness programs for early childhood educators. We need to treat child care workers like the professionals they are.*

KEEP CHILDCARE CENTERS OPEN
Taking care of kids is expensive! Childcare centers exist on barebones margins and struggle to stay afloat. Fran's universal childcare policy pegs payments to the true cost of care, because we can't afford to shortchange our children.

EXPAND SUPPLY IN CHILD CARE DESERTS
70% of rural Wisconsin has nowhere near enough child care slots. Fran will invest in expanding capacity where it's needed most — not just in cities. but in the small towns [...screenshot ends here]

Rooting for Z (and don't want to argue with God), but on the parks budget: while much better than Eric Adams' budgets, it's far from fully funded. Read @ny4p.bsky.social's statement on the latest budget for good parks funding info—and on this issue, follow NY4P's lead. www.ny4p.org/news/stateme...

Excerpt from the Play Fair Coalition's statement (Tue, Jun 30, 2026) on NYC's Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2027
--
For an agency beleaguered by years of staffing cuts, including more than 600 losses under former mayor Adams, the baselining of these nearly 300 workers is a cause for celebration and has been a cornerstone of our advocacy for
many years.
At the same time, this investment does not change the overall headcount of the Parks Department, rightly described by Commissioner Shimamura as the City's "agency of affordability." Despite positive steps, there are no net staffing or budget gains this year and there remains a long road ahead towards funding the Parks Department at 1% of the City's overall spending — a commitment which the mayor and the majority of the Council have made time and again. We will continue to hold the administration accountable to the mayor's promise to achieve 1% for Parks by the end of his term and we look forward to working with both Mayor Mamdani and the Council to ensure all New Yorkers can equitably enjoy the benefits of these beloved public spaces.

With your resolve & bloc-vote discipline, we will— 1️⃣ Expand CityFHEPS this year, 2️⃣ Keep thousands of NYC residents in their homes, and 3️⃣ Make meaningful progress toward keeping the city's legal promise to ensure housing for everyone.

STATEMENT: COUNCIL PROGRESSIVE CAUCUS REMAINS COMMITTED TO SECURING ADDITIONAL CITYFHEPS DOLLARS IN FY27 BUDGET

City Hall - The New York City Council Progressive Caucus issues the following statement in relation to the need to fund the critical tenant protection program CityFHEPS in the FY27 budget:

"We stand committed to further funding for CityFHEPS in the FY27 budget. Every day that this program remains unexpanded, New Yorkers are forced out of homes, unable to keep up with ballooning rent. Our members have fought tirelessly to ensure this vital program reaches vulnerable tenants. We recognize this has been an extremely challenging year following Mayor Adams' fiscal mismanagement and appreciate Mayor Mamdani and Speaker Menin's work to close the deficit. But it remains short of what New Yorkers need. We urge the Speaker and Mayor to ensure that a balanced budget does not rest on the backs of New Yorkers grappling with an historic affordability crisis. We need to see movement to fund this critical program before the handshake."

Thoughtful piece here by @aasthauprety.bsky.social. In particular, I appreciate this nuanced perspective on the challenge of building a multi-racial membership in DSA.

One can definitely engage in good-faith analyses of why a movement might look a certain way and how it can be more inclusive—NYC's Commie Corridor comprises gentrifying neighborhoods, it's true, and DSA members tend to be college-educated. The struggle to build a multiracial, working-class base is real and comes from both racism and prejudice as well as decades of antisocialist propaganda in the US.

But when it's actually productive criticism, it's an internal convo of committed leftists, not wreckers from the political center. (i.e., once your analysis turns into ..and that's why we shouldn't support socialism"—I will stop listening. & ) From Boggs & Boggs:

[Block quote] It is obvious also that the ideas and the initial leadership in most revolutions have come from intellectuals of petty-bourgeois origin. Whether or not they remain petty-bourgeois intellectuals depends on the depth of their conviction and their readiness to devote their lives to a protracted struggle to make their advanced ideas the property of the masses.

Early Voting turnout has remained steadily just under 50% of last year's; the cumulative rate through Day 8 is now 45%. It's hard to get most people to care about state government except for a brief period after something bad has happened. But now thru Tue is a big chance to make it much better.

Meet Adam Bojak
Adam grew up in a working-class household in East Aurora. The son of a postal worker and a public school employee, his family experienced the same budget strain we all know today. He also saw how union jobs can protect and provide for workers and their families alike.

After graduating from East Aurora High School, Adam earned his bachelor’s degree at Rochester Institute of Technology, and his law degree at SUNY Buffalo. For almost the entirety of his career, he has provided free legal services and advice to Western New Yorkers facing housing problems, including representing tenants facing legal disputes with their landlords; he also currently serves families across the region as assigned counsel in Family Court. His professional practice and beliefs have been shaped by his membership in the Buffalo Democratic Socialists of America, where he has been active and engaged since 2017.

Throughout his career, Adam has been a proven champion of everyday Western New Yorkers. Now, as he runs for New York State Assembly as a proud, democratic socialist, he remains dedicated to fighting for us against the issues we face daily, including: the lack of safe and affordable housing; skyrocketing health care, childcare, and household costs; and the weakening of labor union power. He is running for Assembly to stand up against corporate greed, and to ensure that every New Yorker can lead a stable and dignified life.

A Progressive Vision for Syracuse

A group of people gathered on stairs holding signs supporting voting and tenants' rights, with a man speaking at a podium.
Syracuse residents deserve a public transportation system that works. Our renters deserve housing that is truly affordable, not just labeled affordable. Our neighbors deserve access to support services that meet people where they are and respond effectively in times of crisis.

We can achieve these things if we demand leadership in Albany that prioritizes working families over the comfort of the wealthy and well connected. It requires the political will to demand the wealthiest New Yorkers and the largest corporations to pay their fair share so we can invest in housing, public transit, healthcare, and childcare here at home.

Our community cannot afford incremental change. We need bold action that lowers costs, strengthens public services, and ensures that government works for the people who rely on it most.

Syracuse is worth fighting for. Central New York is worth investing in. And the only way we move forward is together.

Let’s get to work.

WHAT CONRAD IS ABOUT

I am a Public Defender, a Labor Organizer, and proud Democratic Socialist running to represent Harlem for State Assembly District 70.

I grew up in the projects. Cops pressed me and harassed me just for being a young Black man. I know what it's like to not have healthcare, to have my lights shut off, to worry about how my family will make ends meet. I know what it's like to be wrongfully arrested just for walking down the street. I know what it means to have to hustle to survive.

The people of Harlem have always created our culture. The power has always been with the people. It's time that political elite and corporate interests learn that we may not run Harlem, but we make Harlem run. It's time for Harlem's working class to come together and take Harlem back. We must ensure that we build an affordable, sustainable Harlem, where our neighbors can afford rent, healthcare, childcare — a Harlem where we can live with dignity. It's time for the Harlem Revival.

[AD-68] Tamika Mapp. I should note: most intervening Left orgs are backing another challenger (who would also be better than the incumbent). But my personal choice is @friendsoftamika.bsky.social, a principled Leftist with a long record of good work. Sign up for a shift here: mobilize.us/fotm2026/

--
[friendsoftamika] I love talking to community members because every conversation shines light on issues that are often left out of campaign slogans and policy papers.

Gentrification is one of those issues.

This is not about blaming new neighbors. This is about holding past and current elected officials accountable for failing to have the political courage to protect our community as it changes.

Development should not mean displacement.

It should mean family-sized housing, real affordability, creating and maintaining pathways to homeownership, support for local businesses, protection for public housing, and a real plan to help the people who built this community stay in this community.

Over the next couple of days, I'll break down the layers of gentrification so voters can make an informed choice at the ballot box.

We can welcome growth without erasing our community.

MEET DAVID

Albany needs people who understand good policy and have the guts to fight for it. I've been doing that work for years.

I'm the person who writes the bills, advocates for them, builds coalitions, and puts in the work. I took on big tech to pass legislation to prevent Al from causing catastrophic harm. l've written bills on civil rights, surveillance, police reform, elections, animal welfare, government transparency, and much more. And I've watched too many good bills get gutted by carveouts, weakened by exceptions, or killed entirely when legislators didn't have the courage to fight for them.

Albany has abandoned too many of our community members. I want to put my career on the line to fight for them.

Screenshot showing the "Meet Jibreel" section of Jibreel Jalloh's campaign site. On the left is a photo of Jibreel (a young Black man, sporting a bright pinkish-red suit) seated with a megaphone standing upright on a table in front of him. On the right is the following text:
--
Jibreel is the son of a union nurse and a taxi driver who came to New York in pursuit of the American dream. Born and raised right here in Brooklyn, he learned early that strong neighborhoods are built by families, faith, and hard work — especially when government falls short.

A community organizer, nonprofit leader, and Obama Scholar, Jibreel has committed his life to serving others and fighting for working families. He’s helped stop a toxic facility near homes and schools, secured $1.6 million to prevent gun violence, supported workers in winning a union, and built a small business — so he knows what it means to meet payroll and push through red tape.

Now, he’s running for State Assembly to deliver a government that puts people before politics and helps families stay, grow, and thrive here in Brooklyn.

About Eon Huntley

Eon is a father, retail worker, lifelong Brooklynite, democratic socialist and three-term PTA president. He’s running for State Assembly to win universal childcare, freeze the rent, and build a New York City every family can afford.

Eon has always been a tenant, growing up in East New York and in NYCHA’s Pink Houses. His father immigrated from Guyana while his mother is a second-generation Brooklynite. He attended New York City public schools and the Parsons School of Design before working as a fashion designer and clothing salesman. As a member of the bargaining committee for Workers United Local 340, Eon fought for and won crucial healthcare coverage for his fellow workers.

Eon guided his daughters’ school community through the COVID years as a three-term PTA president, co-founding a mobile food pantry that fed hundreds of Brooklynites every month. He and his wife Rebecca, a longtime public school teacher, have lived in Bedford Stuyvesant for 18 years.

Eon is running for State Assembly to fight for the affordable, beautiful Brooklyn we all deserve. He believes nobody should be priced out of basic human experiences like raising a family, pursuing higher education, growing old in our own homes, or even going to the doctor. Eon answers only to the voters and rejects all corporate donations. In Albany, you can trust him to fight for universal childcare, fully-funded public education, and freedom from Trump’s assaults on our civil liberties and our neighbors.

Screenshot of the "About Lydia" section of her campaign site. On the left, in a cut-out shaped playfully perhaps like a flower or cloud, is a photo of Lydia (a young, white woman with medium-length, curly dark brown hair). On the right is the following text:

My name is Lydia Green, and I am a Democratic District Leader, progressive organizer, proud union member, tenant, NYC public school graduate, and queer Jewish New Yorker. I'm running for State Assembly in District 52 because Brooklyn is my home, and has been my family's home for generations, but it has become too expensive to live here. I refuse to remain passive on legislation that will save lives, protect immigrants, defend workers, and make my neighbors' lives easier. I was taught from an early age that my primary obligation does not lie within myself, but within my community.

I cannot help but fight for my home, and I am unbelievably grateful that thousands of members of my community have already trusted me to advocate on their behalf as District Leader. As an Assembly Member, I am ready to organize tirelessly to tax the rich, build affordable homes, protect us from the climate crisis, and pass every piece of progressive legislation that has languished for years in committee. We need a true activist in this seat - someone who won't have political capital as their primary concern, but ensuring that Brooklyn is affordable and equitable enough for everyone and anyone to build a life here.

The NYS Assembly is the Left's electoral priority because it's worse than the Senate—but why? In 2018, the Senate got much better; a big reason why was the election of @srachelmay.bsky.social. @mobreezy213.bsky.social's win would do the same for us in the Assembly. electmauricebrown.com/rachelmay

😍 Now THIS is how you advocate for universal child care.

Screenshot showing an excerpt from the page linked in the original post by ISAIAH. I have highlighted the bullet-point line that reads, "Pays early educators wages on par with K-12 teachers."

The full text of the excerpt is copied below the line.
--
That means a system that...
• Is free or low cost for every family
• Covers children from birth to age 5
• Pays early educators wages on par with K-12 teachers
• Expands access so every family can find a spot that meets their needs
• Is high quality for all kids

Wisdom: "What we have not yet learned, not at scale, not on purpose, is how to make grief + love + joy into a practice instead of an escape. Joy is not the thing you reach for to avoid the hard work. Joy + grief aren’t the escape hatch. They’re the loom. It is how you keep reweaving togetherness..."

We have learned how to be angry, and some of us, the lucky ones, are learning how to rest. What we have not yet learned, not at scale, not on purpose, is how to make grief and love and joy into a practice instead of an escape. Joy is not the thing you reach for to avoid the hard work. Joy and grief aren’t the escape hatch. They’re the loom. It is how you keep reweaving togetherness when the fabric keeps getting torn, how you keep healing people back into belonging when belonging is exactly the thing this moment is trying to destroy. We don’t dance to forget. We dance to remember we are still each other’s. We don’t celebrate to look away. We celebrate to stay in relationship with what we love.

That is the work of the next year.

I love both of my orgs, but the main reason I still invest more time in NY WFP than NYC-DSA is that the broad-front, multi-racial, multi-generational work of the former is still what disproportionately makes the latter's continued rise—in legitimacy, popularity, and ultimately power—possible. WFP👇
