How is it that the Community Board I reside in just blocked me on Twitter? For no reason I may add. Is it because the District Manager is running in the race for CD18 and is using community board resources and time for politics? Sus.

This fire is tragic Ultimately, our communities have been begging for years for this city to show up for them Updating our infrastructure in buildings like heating systems, elevators, removing mold etc ain’t new issues This came from a space heater, a need for adequate warmth.

I will say again, we should not allow the Board of Elections to be hired by the BPs and electeds of each borough. How can a system that is supposed to be democratic and unbiased work that way when by moment of hire they are brought in under pretense.

Suffolk County placed a 5 cent fee on plastic bags. In the year since, 1.1 billion fewer bags have been given out. That's fewer bags clogging sewers, getting stuck in trees, harming wildlife, or filling landfills. Long past time for NYC to do the same.

Second dose down at Yankee Stadium! I’m well on my way to being vaccinated against #COVID & protecting everyone around me. Feeling really overwhelmed rn. Campaigning, doing mutual aid, etc in the pandemic has been scary as an asthmatic, but this gives me confidence.

We do know there are still city council races right? And we all still remember that RCV education we never got right? Asking for a friend.

We are seven women running for office in #Brooklyn . We are aligned on a City budget that divests from carceral systems and reinvests in our neighborhoods. #DefundNYPD , expand #ParticipatoryBudgeting , and a #HomesGuarantee .

Just drove passed a poll site w/ doors closed at 9:11pm & about 60 ppl outside demanding to vote. Officer inside was so rude saying her supervisor said doors close at 9pm & they are waiting for him to advise I told her - he’s not an election lawyer & these people can vote 1/2
