Amazon sets the routes, the quotas, the uniforms, the cameras — and then tells workers they don't actually work for Amazon. Every delivery worker in this city should be able to afford to live here and have their rights respected. Workers deserve better.

One way you know COGE is going to be great is that @DrSusanLK was appointed to it🌹

The Left needs to show it can deliver bold, ambitious new public services. Zohran Mamdani can transform the Economic Development Corporation into an incubator for public goods that can meet the needs of all New Yorkers. jacobin.com/2026/05/mamdani-…

If Debs were alive today, he’d be the first to put his five bucks in the hat to rent a bouncy castle for our next event laborpolitics.com/p/bouncy-c…

Amazon Teamsters in New York City are about to pass the Delivery Protection Act, a new law that holds corporations accountable if they threaten public safety. Now Amazon is spending millions of dollars to intimidate lawmakers into selling out everyday New Yorkers by putting corporate profits before common-sense public safety standards. Don’t be swayed by Amazon’s lies. Stand with New York City workers in supporting the Delivery Protection Act! *Cough* we’re looking at you @CMShaunAbreu

When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit. Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero. We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing. Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run. That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

New York, let's get organized. In a city of over 8 million, just 400 people showed up to speak at the last Rent Guidelines Board hearing — where decisions about rents are made. We can do better. If we want a city that works for tenants and landlords alike, we need New Yorkers to show up and make their voices heard. The next hearings are this June. Visit ORGANIZE.NYC.GOV to get involved.

Socialist New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has accomplished much in just a few months. But one major thing is missing from his tenure thus far: activating mass participation of working-class New Yorkers in the fight for his ambitious agenda. jacobin.com/2026/04/mamdani-…

It's fantastic that Zohran is delivering. But it’s a problem that workers are receiving the goods instead of helping win them laborpolitics.com/p/why-hasn…

NYC-DSA should do a public campaign to push her to release her tax return.

NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC. Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents. Hochul hopes to raise $500 million annually that would be used to address the city’s deficit.

honestly, the Left needs more bouncy castles
