It's so rare that you lose a favorite food joint in NYC and then get to see it return, but I'm thrilled that my longtime fave vegan restaurant Red Bamboo is back, now at 307 West 38th Street for takeout and delivery! Check them out: www.redbamboo-nyc.com

Heads up, transit nerds. I have to recommend this Metroboard from the Design Rules Company. They have them for multiple cities. I'm obsessed with my NYC one. It shows real time subway train activity. It's a little pricey and you may have to wait awhile for delivery, but it's worth it.

Saw Coyote vs ACME yesterday and absolutely loved it. If you are a Looney Tunes fan, you're going to be delighted. It's a bit like Roger Rabbit, where the toons exist in the human world. I can't believe Warner Bros. tried to nix this film.

ICE increased its presence in Inwood this week and even attacked a bystander with pepper spray. The uptown NYC community turned out for a rally this morning to share resources and emphasize that we won't tolerate ICE thugs.

Me with Mayor Zohran and the woman we both hope you'll vote for tomorrow if you're in NY's 13th congressional district, Darializa Avila Chevalier. Uptown and the West Bronx, get to the polls between 6am and 9pm on Tuesday, June 23. Let's get a progressive representative to fight for us! Vote.nyc

More Democrats need to be turning out for the NYC primary right now. People came out in droves for Zohran last year, but he needs SUPPORT from other progressive electeds. We have a ton of great progressives running right now. Get out and vote! Vote.nyc

Brooke Pierce @bpie7.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Zohran and Bernie Sanders headlined a big GOTV rally tonight in Brooklyn, with the mayor championing his endorsed primary candidates and urging progressives to get out and support them. If you want better Dems in Congress, please do a canvass or phonebank by June 23!

In NY-13 (uptown Manhattan, West Bronx), we have a great progressive choice for Congress: Darializa Avila Chevalier. She's focused on affordable housing, redirecting money from bombs abroad to social programs at home, abolishing ICE, and she doesn't take AIPAC money (unlike the incumbent, Espaillat)

Brooke Pierce @bpie7.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Best Mayor Ever Zohran Mamdani agrees: Vote Darializa Avila Chevalier for Congress! Early voting is now through June 21. Last day to vote is June 23! Go to vote.nyc to find your polling site.

I keep wondering what it will take for the world to stop propping up this monster. Elon Musk is an open white supremacist who spurred on anti-immigrant riots in the UK, his platform X supports AI child porn, and he's responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands for closing USAID.

Brooke Pierce @bpie7.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Elon Musk, whose unconstitutional shuttering of USAID led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, is the focus of an installation in Times Square that highlights how Musk's Grok AI makes pornographic images of people without their permission.

Giant Elon Musk installation in Times Square on the eve of the SpaceX IPO. Kudos to these folks drawing attention to how Elon allows X to use Grok to make pornographic images of people.

It's been really exciting seeing the momentum build for Darializa Chevalier's congressional campaign (NY-13). In just a few weeks time, awareness (and excitement) for her has increased big time when I've knocked doors. We need more smart, hard working progressives representing us.

Did some door knocking for Darializa today in Inwood. Lotta walk-up buildings, so I really got my steps in. Early voting starts June 13, New Yorkers! Please don't overlook this primary and then complain later about our sucky NY Dems. The primary is our chance to level up with better reps!

Rainy days are good for canvassing because more people are home! Knocking doors for Darializa Chevalier (running against Espaillat in NY-13) was interesting today because we came across multiple people who were progressive but not aware of her yet. Proof of how much canvassing & awareness matters!

I visited the Donald J Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room today, a pop-up in Tribeca that has bound copies of all the Epstein files, a memorial for victims, and an Epstein/Trump timeline. I was particularly affected by the notes people wrote with their reactions in the reflection room.

Uptown Manhattan! West Bronx! Darializa is running for Congress (NY-13, Espaillat's seat) in the Dem primary. She's for abolishing ICE, affordable housing, and investing in child/family programs. She's an organizer who works with public defenders. Start spreading the word - primary is on 6/23!
