It appears @DarializaforNY has put a red box (in spirit) on her campaign site, flagging her anti-@RepEspaillat talking points for anyone (including outside spenders/PACs) to see:

NEW: With NYC’s cash flow tightening the Mamdani Admin considers delaying payments -due in July- to hundreds of nonprofits serving ppl in need. A new law requires NYC to pay these contractors more up-front this yr with an exception for fiscal constraints.

“That’s a betrayal,” Children’s Village CEO Jeremy Christopher Kohomban says about Mamdani admin potentially delaying payments to nonprofits due to low cash reserves - per big scoop by @MelissaRusso4NY.
That’s the talk of City & State and NYN Media’s Nonprofit OpCon today.

mayoral feud with Knicks owners escalates ahead of Game 4 tonight...
MSG requested a permit for a watch party for 500-999 fans. We approved that permit for 999 fans.
Mr. Dolan has now decided to cancel the watch party.
I know this is breaking hearts across our city.
But if there's one thing Knicks fans don't need permission for, it's showing up for our team wherever we may be — no matter the block or the borough.
Knicks in five.

Per law enforcement source: “As of 4 pm today-there are no tv screens up for the MSG watch party & MSG still has not put out info for the ticketed watch party tonight”
This comes after MSG tried to say that it was the city that limited the # of fans despite only applying for 1k

.@NYCMayor denies that the security perimeter around MSG for the Knicks Game 4 was a last minute decision and says it wasn’t due to some of the violence at watch parties after Game 3
“However.. no one should be getting threatened, attacked on the basis of wearing a Spurs jersey”

I provided Avila Chevalier's campaign with a copy of the tweet in question yesterday morning, so she has definitely had time to review the context.
Jun 5
Mamdani-backed House candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier refused to answer for her past social media posts echoing Putin talking points over the Ukraine war, claiming US bullied Russia into invading.
"I'm not sure about the context of those tweets where they are coming from."

The October 8th rally was “too soon” and too controversial for NYC-DSA. Every socialist elected official - including Zohran Mamdani - avoided it.
But Darializa Avila Chevalier, then relatively unknown, was there.
