There's a difference between being a leftist and doing what will actually move others to the left.
Purity tests are most useful on oneself, to test integrity to one's own philosophy.
Subjecting others to purity tests turns more people away from the direction we want them to go.

In 2013 the most progressive candidate was John Liu. Even before his campaign finance issue emerged, progressives were prioritizing de Blasio.
Today the most progressive choice is Dianne. Yet many are leaning Stringer.

HOW TO IMPEACH THE GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK
STEP 1:
Get NYS Assembly to introduce articles of impeachment and adopt said articles by simple majority.

Why? To try to break the bargaining backs of our permanent nurses, who are getting paid $20,000/yr less than nurses in the private sector.
Starting TODAY: Public hospital nurses and allies escalate actions for pay equity and safe staffing.

The NYS Assembly Majority is showing it lacks the courage to impeach Cuomo.
The function of its "investigation" is to lend Cuomo precious time so he can try to repair his image.

In a New York City governed by justice, Eric Adams would resign after making this statement.
In the New York City we currently have, we must do what's necessary to make Eric Adams a one-term mayor.
To that end, one condition we must create first is a truly citywide coalition.
More from my interview with Mayor Eric Adams. On the issue of vigilantism… is it ok for passengers to take matters into their own hands?
His answer: “Each situation is different…. We cannot just blanketly say what a passenger should or should not do on a situation like that.”

Hochul's nomination choice makes perfect sense: it's an attempt to pit progressives against Latines.
Jenny Rivera would have been a win-win; LaSalle is the divide-and-conquer move.
But we know what to do: resist divide-and-conquer, and instead hold out, together, for a win-win.

While living in NYC in the 1970s, my Korean immigrant dad was mugged several times, at least once at gunpoint. That's why he'd call NYC "hell on earth" and why my siblings and I were born in NJ. But he never called the police. Why not? Because he knew they didn't prevent crime.

Why has the left de-prioritized COVID?

The fear is rational: New Yorkers ARE a lot less safe. But the source isn't crime; it's COVID.

(2) What would actually address them.

Progressive & lefty friends who are looking for a political campaign job right now:
I know of several good ones but can't post them publicly, so consider this is a reverse-solicitation. DM me if you're interested. 🙏

Finally, as a surrogate I should have invested time to check in regularly with young field staffers in my vicinity.
Had I done so, I might not only have learned about internal problems sooner but have given staffers an alternative path to address problems.
Thanks for reading 🙏

As someone who's vocally supported Dianne for the past 2 months, I owe my comrades an accounting.
I will do so soon; perhaps it's the lawyer or Pisces in me, but first I must do some more fact-finding.
In the meantime, I must side with the more vulnerable.

Hi friends, my longtime psychotherapist of just over 20 years, Robert Millar, recently and unexpectedly passed away.
As a way of helping process this loss, I'd like to share some of the ways in which he helped me change.

Friends, today's my 43rd birthday. It's wonderful to be alive! It's wonderful to know and be here with you.
Today, I want to share with you two versions of a story: first, the story I used to tell myself about why I got into politics; second, a fuller version of the same story.

The housing problems caused by capitalism will not be solved by capitalism.
Seize vacant luxury units in the investment portfolios of the wealthy; levy city fees in lieu of taxes that Albany lacks the courage to enact.
Do NOT give away our political power to remake the market.

Friends, have you delayed voting because you're still thinking through your choices for mayor? I see you.
Yes, there's a lot to think through. Having heard many people's ballot-indecision thoughts, I wrote this 🧵.
May it help you arrive at your own decisions with more clarity.

In 2020, Biden beat Trump in Wisconsin by fewer than 21k votes; tonight, Uninstructed got more than 47k.

While the forthcoming repeal of nursing home immunity is no doubt due to the efforts of many, thanks are due first & foremost to two courageous folks:
(1)
@RonTKim

, whose journalistic courage powered Ron's advocacy.

In 2020, he beat Trump in the Wisconsin by just under 21K votes. Tonight, because of

Good morning, friends. This is it! Whether you're at a poll site, knocking doors, or on the phones, good luck.
One thing I find helpful on Election Day: Remember your best canvass; then aim to outdo yourself today, with even more positivity, warmth, and conviction.

Andrew Yang wants to transcend dichotomies, especially of left and right.
But such transcendence — the synthesis of 2 political traditions into 1 that truly speaks to all — requires mastery, not a disregard, of both.
Yang fans, I share your vision, but his is a pyramid scheme.
