No politician is perfect. And every lever in the political machinery is trying to stop him, and will work overtime to slow his agenda. We must elect him; we must make sure he is successful; and we must push him and hold him accountable.

Less than 3 weeks left! Let’s go!

Just a reminder that the billionaires, right wing fascists, centrist Democrats, the corporate media, and anyone who is a beneficiary of the status quo are all working together to create division in the support for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

This is part of the playbook. Don’t fall for it.

When I sat on Mayor de Blasio’s School Diversity Advisory Group (SDAG), we made a similar but more expansive call to transform this broken system. I am glad to see Zohran move in this direction and hope he and his team will leverage the important work already done to reimagine a better system.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s call to rethink G&T has re-ignited a longstanding debate about the problematic role of our current G&T model, which is outdated, ineffective, and perpetuates segregation.

These fascists have taken my friend, Palestinian scholar and feminist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social into custody.

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

In light of today's news about Zohran's plans to end the Gifted & Talented program for children 5 years and younger:

I highly recommend checking out the recently released Policy Roadmap of New Yorkers for Racially Just Public Schools (RJPS.org).

It really sets the standards for educational equity.

I am so proud of New Yorkers for Racially Just Public Schools (RJPS) for the tireless work over the last 10 months to develop this community driven education justice policy roadmap. rjps.org/policy-roadm...

3 weeks into the doctoral journey and already got a defensive email from a professor when asking for clarification on an assignment and respectfully letting them know some critical information was missing. Went back and forth about how to respond and decided just to say “thanks.” 🫠

I’m honored to have played a role in this work and hopeful @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is our next mayor to see this agenda through.

We talked to over 1000 New Yorkers, visited countless school and community events, and put together a vision for the next mayor of New York City to take our public education system into the future.

I'm so grateful for Governor Hochul's support in unifying our party, her resolve in standing up to Trump, and her focus on making New York affordable. I look forward to the great work we will accomplish together.

Our movement is only growing stronger. Onward to November.

“Zohran Mamdani and I will both be fearless in confronting Donald Trump’s extreme agenda — with urgency, conviction, and the defiance that defines New York” writes Gov. Kathy Hochul.
Opinion | Kathy Hochul: Why I Am Endorsing Zohran Mamdani
I am confident that Zohran Mamdani has the courage, urgency, and optimism New York City needs to lead it through the challenges of this moment.

Reactions like this are why I wrote my article. I presented his comments IN CONTEXT, and provided tons of receipts.
