soon: studying the labor movement at @mit before: @teamsters @berniesanders @evictionlab @zohrankmamdani always: @organizeworkers @demsocialists tweets mine
We got him making man on the street videos with a guy in carhartt. By next week, he'll be sipping adeni chai and eating khaliat al nahl.
Photo from a source: @andrewcuomo on the Upper East Side—93rd & 2nd—this morning with top campaign aide @melissadderosa shooting what looks like an ad—as he’s reportedly staying in the mayoral race. Hasn’t held a press conference since losing the Democratic primary.
Seeing this going around. As flagged, on this thread, a critical part of this was the success of his social videos (shoutout @Boringstein ) which allowed us to stay far more competitive on TV because without having to put money behind Meta he was organically breaking through.
Despite running a one-of-a-kind, groundbreaking communications strategy on social media, data shows that the Mamdani campaign’s paid media strategy was remarkably old-school. 🔗chaoticera.news/p/opinion-zohr…
“to be a good dsa member is to know that electoralism is not the entirety of the organization.” - Zohran in front of hundreds, if not over 1000, canvassers, field leads and new members ❤️
Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.
Black voters will likely dismiss the recent chatter as noisy foolishness. @ZohranKMamdani, born in Uganda and named after Nkrumah, majored in Africana studies, worked as a rapper and easily carried Harlem and Bed-Stuy in the primary. Dude is obviously welcome at the cookout.
Mahmood Mamdani learned about Karl Marx from the FBI, who were investigating Mamdani because of his involvement in the black freedom struggle
NYC labor is leading the consolidation for Mamdani for Mayor.
NEW: The NYC teachers union will endorse @ZohranKMamdani
Zohran will not only be a pro-union mayor, but a pro-Organizing mayor. As unions, we’ll need to seize the moment & organize. There are thousands, if not millions, of people who have been inspired by Zohran who could turn their focus next to their workplaces with our support.
There’s no doubt about it – @ZohranKMamdani is the candidate for working New Yorkers. “To take on inequality, we know the most effective tool is union density,” said Democratic Candidate for Mayor Zohran Mamdani at our union’s headquarters this morning.
My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.
Trump falsely suggests @ZohranKMamdani is in the country "illegally" calls him a communist (he's a Dem socialist) and then then goes on to call @ericadamsfornyc a "very good person" who he "helped out a little bit."
Highest number of votes in an NYC Mayoral primary over the past 50 years: #1 - 1989 David Dinkins (548k) #2 - 2025 Zohran Mamdani (545k) Join DSA. 🌹🥳
I spent countless hours canvassing in a "Jews for Zohran" shirt. Each time I was excitedly approached by others saying "I'm also a Jew for Zohran!" Thousands of Jewish NYers gave their all to this campaign. Not in spite of, but BECAUSE of Zohran's support for Palestinian freedom
the video team behind @ZohranKMamdani’s campaign (@MeltedSolids) came from corporate advertising, working at places like digitas and hbo. here’s what they told me when i asked how more marketers could transfer their skills to the world of politics.
The best of the best. 💐 💐 💐
Elle Bisgaard-Church, Mamdani's CM, deserves many flowers (beloved by all, 100% approval rating) She ran laps around the professional consultant class; steering the best NYC Mayoral campaign in decades. One of one. Job well done.

Wait who is this beautiful woman on stage lol
“We will remake New York, not in my image, but in the image of every New Yorker that has only known struggle.” I am going to cry, man.
Congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani on your incredible victory. Your campaign proves what can happen when a grassroots movement stands up to corporate greed, defends the humanity of Palestinians, and makes no apology for its belief in a more equal & affordable society for all.
Tonight doesn’t happen without @mancillabrando who has led @UAWRegion9A to drop the broken status quo and to stand up for what’s right. UAW was proud to be the first union to endorse @ZohranKMamdani and won’t stop until we win an NYC that works for the working class.
