Zohran didn't win by relying on standard turnout patterns. We had to fundamentally transform the Democratic electorate.
I was part of a group of NYC-DSA members that applied lessons from our previous campaigns to design the “universe” of voters to talk to. Here's how we won 🧵

No, the problem is that you keep telling a moral and ethical story that's totally divorced from the material reality of people's lives –– because the conclusion of such a story is in tension with big donors and not felt personally by party elites.
Former President Obama says Democrats made a mistake by making goals materialistic and instrumental: "What people are starved for at the moment is the ability to tell a moral and ethical story about how we live together in this moment."

Wonder why
The NYT confirms Haaretz's report that Benjamin Netanyahu was secretly warned before Oct. 7, 2023 by the Emirati president that Hamas planned a major attack, per 2 sources
The warning was not shared with Israeli security chiefs, per 5 ex-officials

In this moment, New York must set a positive example for the country, not contribute to democratic backsliding.
Let’s reinstate the Fired Fourth and pass the Academic Freedom Protection Act!

I joined @PSC_CUNY this morning to rally outside the arbitration hearing of the Fired Fourth to demand their immediate reinstatement, oppose the New McCarthyism and its authoritarian chilling of speech, and fight for strong, statewide academic freedom protections!

You can read more about the Academic Freedom Protection Act - sponsored by @DianaforQueens and @JuliaSalazar__ - in Clarion here: psc-cuny.org/clarion/online/…
Tell your representatives in Albany to stand up for academic workers and sign on to this important legislation!

Together with leaders like @DianaforQueens, the cosponsor of the Academic Freedom Protection Act, we are raising our voices to call for the reinstatement of the Fired Fourth and for robust academic freedom protections for all higher education workers!

A hundred PSC members just took to the streets in Manhattan to picket outside the arbitration hearing of our unjustly fired colleague - the "Fired Fourth" - who has been blacklisted by @CUNY due to their advocacy for Palestinian human rights.

🗣️ New York State Assembly member Diana Moreno calls for Netanyahu to face war crimes proceedings, criticizes US support for Israel
🇵🇸 She says US tax dollars should not fund Israeli military operations in Gaza, Iran and Lebanon, calling instead for solidarity with Palestinians
🏥 Moreno says US funding should prioritize healthcare, schools and infrastructure rather than weapons that kill civilians, particularly children and families

I think if you're going to be in lefty spaces you have to be able to recognize when someone is not operating in good faith or trying to hold anyone accountable, they are just bullying you and weaponizing any identity they can to do so.
you can't actually repair, they don't want that. they want you to Venmo them.

Our movement is growing, and now is our time! MHVDSA members voted overwhelmingly to support an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez run for president. As we face a crisis on every front, home and abroad, we cannot cede ground to a politics of yesterday. Join DSA today and join the fight!

Darializa was just arrested while peacefully protesting Netanyahu's speech at the United Nations. Our government has unlimited funds to arm a genocide against Palestinians but tells us there's nothing left to feed and house our own people. Stop arming Israel!
BREAKING: Over 400 New Yorkers are risking arrest in a mass anti-war sit-in outside the United Nations during Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to say: Stop the genocide and stop arming Israel.
We are Jewish, Palestinian, Iranian, and Lebanese. We are veterans, descendants of Holocaust survivors, young people, grandmothers, rabbis, elected officials, actors, and comedians. We are united in outrage and we will not stand by as war criminals are given a platform to speak in our city.
We join thousands of protestors across the city who are taking action all week to say:
BLOCK THE BOMBS. END THE GENOCIDE. LET GAZA LIVE.

FUND PEOPLE NOT BOMBS!
I joined 400+ protesters, including incoming congressmembers @MelatKirosCO @chrisrabb @DarializaforNY @HamawyForNJ ahead of war criminal Netanyahu’s UN speech.
We're calling for an end to genocide, an end to U.S. funding to Israel, and a Free Palestine.
