A special congratulations to one of NYWFPs very own, Maurice Brown. We look forward to continuing to partner with him on the County Legislature.

The fact that Michael Vick is trending just shows you how our Prison System is a waste of time.
He did the crime, and the time. He apologized and he's put lots of time, and money to prevent his crime from ever happening again.
And he's still despised by a lot of people.
@deadeyebrakeman
I asked my 5 year old son this same question and they said why would anyone spend that much time watching a movie when they could be learning a skill or trade or how to invest.

Nah look at buddy stance. He really got his whole body into this punch lmfao.
Boy caught him with the Captain Falcon punch. Tough.
I see Bowman and Jumaane and I think I could actually be a politician one day.
Cause I used to think I was the only black man who saw how full of shit this system was but now it's good to see so many others of us are in it together.
What y'all don't get is that I wasn't supposed to be here. I was born in Brownsville, barely graduated HS. My pops dropped out, of college. Both my brothers got GEDs.
I don't take this degree for granted.

I'll admit the task that needs to be done at SU is hard af because what we're trying to do is end systemic racism.
However, if you aren't willing or able to do it, get out the way for someone who can.
#NotAgainSU
For every donation, every like, every LTE, signature collected, rainy door knock and everything in between, thank you!
Together we're going to great things.
On to November.
@nyknicks
Is it game 4 of the preseason? Or Game 4 of the NBA Finals? I've said it before, I'll say it again. Knicks fans are different.
Being good at the garden is better than being good anywhere else in basketball.
@Beefy_Weefs
if he saved 100 dogs because his Team tld him to do it is that not a good thing for the dogs?
Is it about the Dogs? or is it about you not liking him?
Cause if the reason you dislike him is killing dogs, then saving dogs has to factor.
Or is there another reason to dislike?
*TLDR* Surreal Moment yesterday turning in signatures yesterday.
Thank you to everyone who opened their door in below freezing temperatures, and everyone who endured those same conditions to go door-to-door for our campaign.

@jacob_mauren
does the fact that he's saved / helped well more than those 48 dogs help his case in public opinion? Like he's done a lot to save / improve the lives of lots of dogs
My opponent just said that I am a hippocrate because:
"I oppose a 100 million dollar aquarium but I am in favor of using over 250 million of taxpayer dollars to build a full service Bus System with over 8 lines across the county."
I'm here to say he's absolutely correct.
I 100% stole
@BernieSanders
quote but it's true.
“Taking care of veterans is a cost of war. If you cannot take care of veterans, you should not go to war to begin with."
Thank you to
@WRVO
for covering this story.

@MoBreezy213
: “Supporting the vets does not look like cutting VA funding. It does not look like proposing a 22% cut to VA services.”
Veterans & their families are calling out New York House Republicans for supporting the GOP’s radical debt ceiling plan.
This is why Syracuse is where we are now.
This lack of obvious foresight is problematic. How can you plan for a regions future if you couldn't see this coming?
This may be one of my best canvas shifts of the cycle.
Not only are most people home but they know who I am and are planning to vote for me.
I may have peaked, but the work isn't done.
On today's episode of "He did the math" I discovered that if someone wanted to buy each of the Greater Syracuse Land Bank's properties, and then do 50k worth of restoration on each. It'd cost about 48 million dollars, and would house about 920 families.
According to 2020 data.
If only we had over 80 million dollars to invest in housing. That’d definitely be a step in the right direction.
If only there was an 80 million dollar project our county was prioritizing that we can divert funds away from?
In other news, The Aquarium is not a good idea.
We could've had fully funded schools, and an Albany that works with the people instead of against it.
This is as good a time as any to remind the world that I was on
@CynthiaNixon
's and
@JumaaneWilliams
' vacancy committees.
Thank you to everyone who made it out today! Our final weekend launch went awesome!
Special Shouts to Mary Kuhn, Rachel May, Uplift, NYSUT and DSA for their constant support!
Can't wait to represent for my community. Let's get to work!
My name is Maurice Brown and I'm running to be the county legislator for the 15th District of Onondaga County.
Election day is right around the corner on June 27th.
Here's a quick campaign recap of what's happened so far!
I hate how
@RepJohnKatko
always refers to Syracuse with "they/them" language.
I get he lives in Camillus, but you've been out rep for a while now.
These are our families, this is our community, this is our city.
Whether you like it or not, it's not "that city" it's our city
It still has not hit me that a candidate that I recruited, trained, and worked for won her primary by 49 points yesterday versus the party's designee.
I'm so proud of Mary Kuhn who will be a great Representative for the people of the 7th District.
@KnicksMSGN
This seems like a great spot for this meme, and it really is my favorite although most times it's because one of my favorite players are in foul trouble.
I don't think property tax should be used to distribute school funds. However, if you're going to do that, pool all the property tax in the county into one big fund, and distribute it equitably.
No reason Henninger should be underfunded and FM isn't. We all in this together.
"I wanted an aquarium sized investment into housing. If we had taken 90 million dollars and built housing in the inner harbor area, that would have been better"
🐠 “The message that it sent to the community was ‘you don’t matter.’ It did. We are providing housing for fish, while we have no housing for people.”
Democratic Legislator
@MoBreezy213
gives his take on the aquarium project in Onondaga County.
@CitrusTVNews
So much of running for office is proving you're worthy to people who don't look like me that are currently in control of most of our electoral process.
From the endorsements, the interviews etc
Most of them mean well, but it's still an exhausting process.
Thank you to
@RobertHarding
of
@The_Citizen
for letting me tell my story. Thank you all for your support in helping this campaign get off the ground!
Link is in the comments
Run for Something has one of the best endorsement processes and is one of the best value adds for a candidate.
I recommend this endorsement to every candidate because how much it helps.
I’m super thankful for their help and looking forward to working with them!
I submitted an LTE to
@syracusedotcom
that got published yesterday about Transportation here in Syracuse.
Syracuse needs better bus service, and now is the time to make it happen.
I get that you have to play to a fan base that's likely racist, and the president blahblahblah..
If I'm TY Hilton, and you bring in Brandon Weeden, I'm asking to be traded. I get that it's a business, but strictly X's and O's Kaep is FAR better than all of this QBs.
#SignKaep
This past week, as the
#Colts
look at options for their backup QB job, they visited with and worked out FA QBs Matt Cassel, Brandon Weeden, and Brock Osweiler, I’m told. No decision yet on who they are signing, or if they’ll wait until roster cuts come from the other 31.
The path through Georgia is turnout of disenfranchised Black voters in Dekalb.
The path to
#NY24
? Turnout of disenfranchised Black voters in Syracuse.
I'm ready to talk whenever y'all are.
Not campaign related, but I wanna shout out My CM Ayden.
Yesterday he went to Albany to speak at the Senate's hearing on Climate. He spoke, but he also took notes on what other speakers were saying and now he has more ideas we can be more sustainable on a local level as well.
Someone broke into my car last night and wasn't able to get anything. They tossed my palm cards and medication all over.
I feel like I let them down with my brokeness.
The folks who have seen my work are supporting me because they know I get results.
When I'm working for Syracuse, we'll get results.
Check out this clip from last weekend's forum.
#LetsGetToWork
It is nuts how Will Smith slapping Chris Rock got way more of a reaction out of Hollywood than a white supremacist shooting up a supermarket in buffalo.
I truly hate it here.
“Stop using us as pawns.”
Veteran and Onondaga County Legislature candidate
@MoBreezy213
calls on
@RepWilliams
and House Republicans to stop the political games, pass a clean debt ceiling increase, and protect our veterans.
The fact that John Katko thinks "we're doing okay" as far as healthcare, when there are hundreds of thousands dead from Covid-19 is bananas.
How you come on TV and say that?
In Syracuse we have:
Nationally recognized levels of Child Poverty
A lead crisis.
A housing crisis.
And we're investing in policing & recreational activities.
We are thrilled to endorse
@mobreezy213
for Onondaga County Legislature District 15! 🌹
Mo’s commitment to affordable housing, public transit,
#PublicPower
, and
#LeadFreedom
will put people before profit and bring a democratic socialist voice to the Legislature.
imagine claiming we don’t have the funds to combat the climate crisis we’re already in while at the same time investing $886 billion in the Pentagon yearly.
Mary Kuhn currently serves as the County Legislator for the 7th district here in Onondaga County.
I’m proud to have her endorsement and support, and will be leaning on her for mentorship once elected.
I’m running because Syracuse deserves an efficient public transportation system. Our renters deserve a housing market where “affordable housing” is truly affordable instead of just a buzzword.
One of my students got into the 4-year school of their choice and I'm irrationally hype about it.
Like I legit can't stop smiling because of how far she's come.
@realDonaldTrump
you're supposed to be uniting us and not being just another politician blaming the other side. there are far too many veterans who are homeless under your leadership, get off twitter and get to work

Rep. Brandon Williams threatening his former chief of staff in a room full of people.
Williams has the 3rd highest staff turnover in Congress.

primary will be a ride. I'm hoping we get to have serious discussions about:
Cancelling Student Loan Debt.
Universal Healthcare.
Reparations.
Regional Transportation.
Housing, both quantity and quality.
@PlayoffBoundNYK
If we resigned him, we never sign Julius. It's not included in the trade, but a big part of it was that it was a salary dump to get ready for that coming off-season.
