I’m excited to announce that I have been endorsed by
@Darrell_Clarke
! As City Council Majority Leader, I worked closely with him to ensure that our residents voices were heard! I am deeply honored to know that he supports my vision for a safer, cleaner, greener city.
From 1940-1980:
•The wealthiest paid 70-94% marginal tax
•0 of them went broke from taxation
•0 of them left USA
•All remained exceedingly wealthy
•Manufacturing boomed
•AND we also had the strongest middle class growth in US History
Let's do that again.

Yesterday was the busiest travel day of Thanksgiving air travel, and the system did well.
Sunday's weather led to an elevated but not extreme level of delays (5.3%) & overall cancellation rates held below 1.0%.
Thanks again to America's aviation workers for all that you do.

Asians, gays and immigrants are being beaten in the streets and cops still shoot unarmed Blacks.

You shouldn't brag about our "progress"
I was pleased to learn Gov Shapiro opposes Safe Injection Sites.
They're purpose is to help the addict live as an addict.
I prefer helping them get clean & sober.
Missouri corrections officer, Paul Schofield & his wife, Sara Schofield, have pled guilty to recording themselves raping her 4 year old child & uploading the videos to the internet.
Looks like Derek Green is trying to cast himself as the anti-Helen-Gym candidate in Philly's mayoral race. Here's his statement today...shortly before Gym is expected to formally announce her candidacy:
Joseph Zuritsky (of
@ParkwayCorp
) owns a $6 million condo at 1706 Rittenhouse Sq. Thanks to the property tax abatement, he avoided over $475,000 in taxes on this property 2013-2020. Does this seem like someone who needs more tax breaks in order to give his workers raises?
If Cherelle Parker fulfills her promise to bring in the National Guard and re-institute stop & frisk, she will be the most RIGHT- WING mayor since Frank Rizzo.
Twice, Derek Green (& campaign) have attacked Gym as "socialist", while reiterating a call for increasing PPD budget.
He's a Black man running a right-wing campaign.
Los Angeles county sheriff’s deputy, Jim Devoe, has been charged w felony child abuse for severely beating his 5 yr old son, punching him in the face, causing serious injuries, including facial bruising and swelling & an eye hemorrhage.
Helen Gym got clobbered for attending the Union League.
But, Jeff Brown gets a pass after falsely insinuating he had Michelle Obama's endorsement.
?????
That’s why as chair of
@PHLCouncil
's Committee on the Environment, I was proud to pass my Tree Canopy Law and establish the Philly Tree Fund. This law requires developers to plant trees when they cut them down. If they don’t, they will have to pay fees into the Philly Tree Fund.
🚨 Mayoral candidate Rebecca Rhynhart runs away when confronted about Jeffrey Yass.
Yass dodges his taxes, busts unions, and crushes public schools. He's spent hundreds of thousands of $ on ads smearing Helen Gym.
Rebecca won’t stand up to him. Enough said.
Vote on May 16th 🗳️
Today marks one year since I embarked to become Philadelphia’s 100th mayor. Over the past year, there have been wins and losses, endless days and sleepless nights, and times when people wanted to count me out, but the hard work was worth it!
It must be frustrating for mayoral candidates to attend 100 forums, only to speak 7 mins, in front of 30 people.
(There's over 1 Mil voters)
Forums don't help candidates & don't influence the public.
Thank you to all of the ministers, elected officials and citizens from throughout Philadelphia who came out to Yesha Ministeries in South Philadelphia last night to pray for me, my wife Dawn Chavous, and our family.
BREAKING: 2nd Night of Looting Now in Philadelphia. Again PA state liquor store was hit. Bottles dropped outside by looters as
@PhillyPolice
arrived. This is on Adams Ave. Police just made at one arrest where a sneaker store on Torresdale Ave was being looted too.
In Philadelphia, public school teachers, lawyers, college professors, journalists, and so many other professional jobs (except politicians) take public transportation. Let's not pretend this whole country is just like LA!
Philly's Democratic Party has been stone-silent since our abysmal primary - 15% turnout.
Turnout is the job of the party.
Brady owes us a public explanation.
I think the best way to disrupt our incestuous 2-party system in Philly is to elect Nicholas O'Rourke to Council at Large.
He's from the Working Families Party and wd squeeze all Republicans off City Council.
Philadelphia is lawless right now.
There’s this perception that you can do anything you want and get away with it. When a one-year-old is getting shot, something has to happen. Stuff has to be shut down. (

For everyday Philadelphians living and dying in poverty, excess proceeds from a sheriff’s sale would change their lives. They’ve already lost their homes—how people build generational wealth—and now they’re being robbed by the very people who are supposed to be protecting them.
