Though they'll continue tabulating those second- and third-choice votes until July 1st, Mamdani has a strong first-round lead with 43.5%; his runner-up, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, has already conceded. (🧵4/5)

"Ranked choice voting is based on a simple premise: Democracy works better if people aren’t forced to make an all-or-nothing choice with their vote." If no candidate has a majority, they'll eliminate the one in last and count their voters' next choices, and so forth until one has over 50%. (🧵3/5)

In NYC's mayoral primary, voters get to pick their FIVE favorite candidates, ranking them from most to least preferred. This means, rather than having to vote for who they think is most likely to win, they can pick who they ACTUALLY support without having to worry about "splitting the vote." (🧵2/5)

This is a dangerous abuse of power. And we refuse to be silent. Ours and future generations will not inherit a world shaped by warlords in suits. We will organize. We will resist. And we will build something better. 50501MI stands with the people, not the empire. [8/8]

We demand: - An immediate end to U.S. aggression against Iran. - Full Congressional hearings to stop unauthorized military actions. - A recommitment to diplomacy, de-escalation, and international cooperation. [7/8]

Young people, working people, and communities across this country have had enough of watching their futures sacrificed at the altar of militarism. [6/8]

50501MI stands unequivocally against endless war. We are a coalition of Americans who believe in peace, restraint, and a foreign policy based on real justice, not mere domination. [5/8]

There is no long-term strategy, no Congressional authorization, and certainly no public mandate. Just bombs. [4/8]

This is the same man who torched the Iran nuclear deal in 2018, which was an agreement that was working, preventing war, and promoting diplomacy. Now Trump is back, fueling escalation in the Middle East by greenlighting strikes that risk dragging the U.S. into a full-blown regional conflict. [3/8]

We forcefully condemns President Donald Trump’s decision to launch airstrikes on Iran. We’re watching an imperial president bypass Congress to plunge the United States into another reckless, unnecessary war, one that serves nobody but defense contractors and power-hungry politicians. [2/8]
