28 trucks a day for a starving population of 2M+. IDF soldiers murdering civilians seeking aid. Israel's genocidal starvation of Gaza is a stain on us all. All U.S. support and political cover for Israel has allowed this to happen.

Stop the genocide. Free Palestine.

Tenants across NYC have already spoken: we demand a rent freeze, and Zohran Mamdani will deliver it.

Even Cuomo wants free buses - not that he rides them. Though he’s savvy enough to steal a good idea when he sees one… 🤢

✅ Public transit is a public good.

Nearly half of the riders took the fare-free buses for errands and leisure purposes. Our transit system should be safe, reliable, and universally accessible to the working people of New York for ALL of their transit needs.

✅ Fare-free buses deliver safer public transit.

Across the five free routes, assaults on bus operators dropped by nearly 40% during the pilot program.

✅ Free & fast buses lower the cost of living.

In 2023, Zohran helped sponsor a year-long free bus pilot program, creating 5 free bus lines in NYC. The program served ~50k weekday riders & DRAMATICALLY increased ridership, especially for low-income riders.

NEW: Two-thirds of NYC voters support creating municipal grocery stores to bring down prices.

"The concept is imminently feasible. In fact, publicly owned grocery stores are quite common and already exist at scale—in the US military."

Cuomo is a sexual harasser who hates unions, attacks the press, and hands favors to his rich buddies.

What’s there for Trump to dislike?

“Trump asked about Cuomo and the NYC mayoral race, says of Cuomo, ‘I’ve always gotten along with him.’”

From Adams to Trump to Cuomo, there’s a big club of corrupt New York politicians and you’re not in it.

They hate you, they will collude to lock up your children, and then cut a deal to get out of jail themselves.

Want to join an organization that rallies in the pouring rain for trans rights and then has a mass call with Rashida Tlaib and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on the same night? Join DSA: socialists.nyc/join

A large crowd gathers in a city park for a protest or rally, surrounded by tall buildings and leafless trees. People hold signs with messages like "Protect Trans Youth" and "Trans Rights = Class Fight." A person wearing a pink, blue, and white striped tank top, resembling the colors of the transgender pride flag, stands at the front facing the crowd. Microphones and cameras are set up, and some attendees wear face masks or hold umbrellas, suggesting recent rain. The atmosphere is one of solidarity and activism.

Best smiles in DSA 😁

A Zoom video call featuring two participants. On the left, a woman wearing a cap, glasses, and a t-shirt is smiling and labeled "Rashida Tlaib." On the right, a man in a suit is also smiling, labeled "Zohran Mamdani." The backgrounds show a plain wall and kitchen for Rashida, and a warmly lit room with patterned wallpaper and plants for Zohran.
