Zohran didn't win by relying on standard turnout patterns. We had to fundamentally transform the Democratic electorate.

I was part of a group of NYC-DSA members that applied lessons from our previous campaigns to design the “universe” of voters to talk to.

This January, I served as a grand jury foreman in Queens.

When I spoke up about blatantly illegal behavior by court officers. they removed me from the room & tried to intimidate me into shutting up.

I filed an affidavit to dismiss one of our indictments. @haideechu has more 🧵 I was on the grand jury for almost all of January. On my first day, we were given a handbook instructing us that during deliberations, grand jurors should “discuss” cases among ourselves before voting.

But a court officer told us the exact opposite behind closed doors. ImageImage
