“One of the reasons why I love being in DSA is that reasonable people can debate…Keeping our public housing in disrepair as it is today is not acceptable to me given my socialist values,” Cea Weaver said.
“What's happening here doesn't fall under socialist principles,” said Celines Miranda, a 51-year-old tenant activist who grew up in an apartment at the Elliot-Chelsea House. A longstanding fight over NYCHA is sparking an ideological debate in the DSA. gothamist.com/news/mamdanis-…

I can’t stop the tears right now. Mississippi. Mississippi. It is breathtaking. Emmett Till, Medgar Evers, Goodman, Schwerner and Chaney, Fannie Lou Hamer. Lift Every Voice and Sing! Mississippi
Scott Colom will defeat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a major upset to become the first Democrat that voters in deep-red Mississippi have elected to the chamber in more than four decades, CNN projects. cnn.it/4iEnxUo

Think it's important as the debate on FEC continues that FEC tenants are not a monolith -- many are supportive of the project and want to see repairs!

This Veterans Day, we honor those who served by fighting for housing justice. I am calling for passage of @RepGraceMeng’s Fair Access to Co-ops for Veterans Act to expand VA loan benefits so veterans can buy co-ops and put down roots.

Last month, I joined Governor Hochul and members of Congregation Beit Simchat Torah for an evening of prayer and reflection. Grateful to celebrate the strength, resilience, and enduring spirit of New York’s LGBTQ+ and Jewish community and the bonds that bring us together. (1/2)

The rabbis’ moving remarks reminded us that we are all part of one human family. May the days ahead bring progress, change, and hope. (2/2)

We need a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who have spent years working hard, paying taxes, and strengthening our communities.

My Pope is dropping midterm bars
When being just and honest comes at a price, pay it. When forgiving seems like a defeat, forgive. When everyone tells you to think of yourselves first, do not be afraid to put yourselves in the last place. Be willing to give up time, money, comfort and plans to serve others. May those who see you find themselves asking: “Why do they live in this way? Where do they get this freedom? Why do they love one another so much?” #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay

RFK Jr endorsing Stephen Miller is like syphilis endorsing chlamydia.
Next to me, Stephen Miller is the strongest MAHA supporter in the administration. It’s time to unleash the Kraken.

Penn Station’s future is too important to be left to backroom deals and political favors. With Democrats taking control of Congress, we have a chance to bring real accountability to this project and deliver a world-class station and a better neighborhood. Story link in bio.

All the genders voted against you.
It is the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male & female.

My hero.
Lorenzo Salgado was murdered by ICE 4 months ago today. Texans have been adding their “I voted” stickers to his memorial in Houston. I just added mine.

From New York to Puerto Rico, our message is clear: abolish ICE. I stand in solidarity with Puerto Rico’s immigrant communities against legislation that would expose children to ICE interrogation in schools. Protect our kids. Defend our communities.

I spent two years working with Stephen Miller. His appointment as White House chief of staff is among the most dangerous personnel decisions in the history of our republic. I say that without reservation.

With Dems all but certain to prevail in Mississippi and Alaska, we're most likely looking at a 56D-44R Senate and a ~260D-175R House, which would be Dems' largest House majority since 1992.

Stephen Miller is the chief architect of Trump's racist, cruel, and un-American campaign of terror across our country. Innocent people have died and families have been torn apart because of the policies he's eagerly pushed. Miller should be under investigation, not running the White House.
