- Reposted by Brian RomeroAOC: If anybody says “this isn’t fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congress” maybe you should stay home.
- Cuomo’s attack on decriminalizing sex work only further shows he doesn’t understand the intersection of fighting for immigrants, queer + trans folks, women, and NOT harming them. Criminalization is violent. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social knows that and is focused on community safety for all.

- Reposted by Brian RomeroMy bill, the New York AI Act (S1169A) passed the Senate! This is a landmark bill that sets clear standards for accountability & transparency from corporations developing and/or deploying AI for high-risk use cases making consequential decisions about New Yorkers lives.
- Zohran is one of the principled men I’ve ever met. His leadership makes me reflect on how I organize in politics as a socialist. When he has called, I’ve answered because I know he fights for all of us. A better NYC is possible. Starting tomorrow vote @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for Mayor.

- A huge congratulations to @ericaforny.bsky.social on the launch of Harassment-Free NY last night! This organization grew out of the work she and others have done to keep New York free of harassers and predators. On June 24, New Yorkers can honor their mission by not ranking Andrew Cuomo!

- Reposted by Brian RomeroCuomo doesn't like that we’re reminding New Yorkers about his record on housing. Well, facts are a stubborn thing. Under Cuomo, rents rose 52% and housing prices soared 77%. It’s time for new leadership.

- “With the state budget process underway, Morse & health advocates have called for the restoration of NYC's full Article 6 funding — state reimbursement for core public health work — which Cuomo cut in 2019. That funding reduction has meant a loss of up to $90 million" www.thecity.nyc/2025/03/27/t...
- We got our slate. Everyone else is a no or should rally behind these folks. If you’re not serious about building power for working people you shouldn’t be our next Mayor.
- We’re proud to endorse the DREAM team to lead the fight: @adrienne4thepeople.bsky.social , @bradlander.bsky.social, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & @zellnor.bsky.social for NYC Mayor! #RankTheSlate
- Reposted by Brian RomeroAs Trump wages war on New York and Cuomo placates his Republican donors, we are fighting for a city that working people can actually afford. With the support of @nywfp.bsky.social, we can turn the page on disgraced politicians of the past and encourage New Yorkers to D.R.E.A.M.

No child will ever need to feel hungry in class again. So proud of @votejgr.bsky.social & Team JGR! #handled

- Reposted by Brian RomeroLast year, Mayor Adams vetoed legislation to expand rental assistance. Now we learn that homelessness is higher in NYC than in any other U.S. city, up 25% last year. This horrifying reality is the result of sky-high housing costs and the lack of leadership from City Hall.
