🧵1/4: We were founded in 2015 from a coalition of socialists, labor advocates, progressives, and independent voters. Our campaigns included referendums on rent control and community safety, support for undocumented residents, and fighting to make ward services more inclusive and democratic.
Red square with a white, circular logo for 33rd Ward Working Families (33WF), headline text "Who Are We?", subtitle of "33rd Ward's Independent Ward Organization".

Next Saturday, join Dems 45 for a community information session to recap key legislation passed by the Illinois General Assembly during its Veto Session last month, including bills addressing mass transit funding, immigration justice, clean energy reforms, and behavioral health parity.

From a statement from faith leaders at Broadview this morning:

"God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom."
We remain steadfast in our demands for freedom: We demand the immediate release of those detained. We demand an end to regional ICE activity. We demand human dignity for all people, without exception. We demand the right to offer spiritual care to those detained — because even in confinement, every person deserves compassion, prayer, and presence. God does not bless cages. God does not sanction abductions. God demands freedom.

Jamaica, Queens @ 6am: poll site visibility volunteers for our man @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, reporting for duty!
Five volunteers for Zohran pose for a group photo in front of the canopy at the Jamaica QN field location (Major Mark Park). Two are holding up Zohran tote bags; behind them is a large, bright-colored "VOTE FOR ZOHRAN" sign.

There's no question that the @nytimes.com has ACTUALLY openly campaigned against Mamdani. Everyone in the city saw it. Why would they be trusted to report honestly on anything if he wins? The answer is they would not.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Fair warning, friends: From now through November 04, my posting will be focused on getting out the vote for Zohran. (If you need to mute or unfollow me, I understand completely 🤣)

We have 90k volunteers, but we need ~10k more to guarantee a majority of votes cast for Z. Hence: zohranfornyc.com/gotv

It is interesting how this moment in city politics is clearly differentiating the elected officials out on the streets fighting for their constituents and those that are completely absent online and in person.

“Once my colleague pulled out his camera, the agent put away the gun," Huynh told the Sun-Times Tuesday night. "[But] if they can do this in broad daylight to an elected official, and point a gun at someone, imagine what’s happening behind closed doors.”

i don't get it. omen sushi in nyc is cheaper than nobu in malibu, where you dined last year without your wife
Michael Rapaport tweets: "How’s a so-called “working class” mayoral candidate like Zohran Mamdani eating at OMEN SUSHI tonight — one of the priciest joints in NYC? 🍣💰 This clown lives in a rent-stabilized apartment in Queens but dines like a diplomat on a Qatar-funded per diem. Who’s paying for that toro, “Zoron the Moron”?" There are two photos of Zohran Mamdani and his wife eating at a restaurant. Michael Rapaport eating outside of a restaurant. There are some white canopy umbrellas around him and a tree in the background. Also the ocean and some fence. Two photos. The first shows the outside of Nobu in Malibu. The second shows the area where Michael sat. There is the same tree, ocean, white canopy umbrellas, and fence. The menu for Nobu in Malibu shows prices around $60. The menu for Omen Sushi in NYC shows prices around $35.
