This is the kind of gap between rank and file voters and the party establishment that will likely cause some real havoc and disruption in the party's politics and primaries. In a different way, it's what gave rise to Trump in GOP.

My reaction to painting the whole organization, that thousands of black and brown comrades have worked hard to build into the type of org that can propel Zohran to victory, as awful. I fully agree there’s a huge problem with toxic racists in Dsa, per my 2nd tweet. not close to the majority.

The organization that molded the candidacy & platform for the very candidate you’re supporting is “awful”? The political organization that numbers over 10k members across the city & is the infrastructure for his campaign is “awful”? If mamdani & his campaign are the path forward, so is DSA.

I truly hope left & prog candidates can ride the Zohran wave and boot centrists from the party, & it is also imperative that we beat the drum that a healthy DSA chapter was an essential ingredient in forming who Zohran is & is inextricable at every level from his campaign’s success t.co/GftxUKQ4Rq

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported. Not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city.

His statements don’t just represent an attack on our democracy but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you. We will not accept this intimidation.

That Trump included praise for Eric Adams in his authoritarian threats is unsurprising, but highlights the urgency of bringing an end to this Mayor’s time in City Hall. At the very moment when MAGA Republicans are attempting to destroy the social safety net, kick millions of New Yorkers off of healthcare and enrich their billionaire donors at the expense of working families, it is a scandal that Eric Adams echoes this President’s division, distraction and hate.

Voters will resoundingly reject it in November.

Not only is Zohran a homegrown, DSA organizer who built up his political chops through Bernie, his campaign achieved a massive feat, “Mamdani did better with voters of color than with white voters... In this, he reversed nearly 30 years of anti-materialist political science theories.”
