I don’t understand when he sleeps.
New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility.

⚡️ Mayor Zohran Mamdani's NYPD is poised to sign a three-year, $750,500 no-bid contract with Israeli surveillance firm Cognyte for FalcoNet, an AI-driven device that mimics a cell tower to track phones and can be mounted on police cars and drones or hidden in a backpack, the New York Daily News reported.
Cognyte won a tender to sell intercept spyware to Myanmar's state telecom weeks before the 2021 military coup, Reuters previously reported. Meta banned the firm the same year, saying its customers used fake accounts to target journalists and politicians in Kenya, Mexico and Indonesia.
The firm is part of an Israeli surveillance industry that grew big as a result of the military's monitoring of Palestinians, whose phone calls Israel's Unit 8200 has intercepted and stored by the millions, including to carry out genocide in Gaza and enforce a brutal illegal occupation in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Emmy Liss, the director of New York City's child care office, was asked about lessons for other cities. She says you can't "fund it a little bit" and have to "lean all the way in. Child care when done well is expensive. You have to meaningfully invest in it."

Interesting panel with Leila Bozorg, Samuel Levine, Emmy Liss and Errol Schweizer on affordability. Liss says the city had to move quickly on 2-K while there was political momentum and will address "systemic issues as we grow," like worker wages and supporting family providers.

Volunteers, including Dr. Alan Gordon of NJ-11, traveled thousands of miles to help Palestinians harvest olives, and Israeli forces detained them for it. I will continue to demand an end to settler violence and the illegal occupation of Palestinian land, backed by Netanyahu.

For historic context, the total of 2026 @nycDSA delegate voters is slightly larger than @DemSocialists total membership in 2015 at the time of national convention delegate apportionment.

Doris Matsui is now relying on two different AIPAC passthroughs in her general election race against Mai Vang in California, a top-two race where a Democrat in her 80s is at risk of being ousted
American Foundation for Good Governance, which previously funded the Michigan Forward 2026 super PAC supporting Rep. Haley Stevens, is funding a new pop-up super PAC called Affordable California 2026.
Affordable California 2026 is running attack ads against @MaiForUs on behalf of Rep. Doris Matsui in #CA07. They have dropped nearly $750,000 so far in this race.
Because AFGG is registered as a 501c4 nonprofit, they are not required to disclose their donors.

.@NYCMayor’s allies in Albany think Mamdani will cash in on campaigning with @GovKathyHochul —>
“It would be really reasonable for him to expect clear commitments from the governor, including a new commitment on new taxes for the rich,” said Brooklyn state Sen. Julia Salazar.
In the final days of the gubernatorial race, Kathy Hochul is turning to the Democratic Party’s disparate wings, including Zohran Mamdani and Hakeem Jeffries, to help push her campaign over the finish line.

AOC on what she meant by ‘Woke 1.0’:
“What I was referring to, even in the context of that interview, was how we make the progressive movement one that isn’t rooted in judgment, castigation, or being closed off. To me, it’s about pivoting: fighting for the same things and not changing our principles, but doing so in a way that welcomes people, including those who perhaps weren’t always exposed to or educated about some of these issues and fights.”

BREAKING 🇧🇷 The voter suppression is Brazil is no joke!!!! This is an active, criminal conspiracy to keep poor, marginalized citizens out of polling stations across the country.

Betting markets think Lula is favored because the states are swinging to Lula in the 2nd round compared to the 1st.

🌹 Last day to vote NYCDSA delegates to convention. The process has been eye opening. @GroundworkDSA campaigned by doxxing and slandering members of other slates, @DSASocMaj ran to a congressional candidate to promote their slate . Only @w2wdsa focused on what they offer you
Voted early this morning for @JabariBrisport for NY Senate and also as a write-in for U.S. Congress. Voted for @EonHuntley4BKN for NY Assembly and also as a write-in for NY Comptroller.

What did y’all think cadre candidate meant? Vibes? Papers? Essays?
The first time I was a delegate to NYC-DSA convention was 2022. It's the very heart of DSA's democracy.
And this year, I’m voting for the Socialist Majority slate. Vote by Sunday night: vote.socialistmajority.com/n…
