It’s ironic that the mayor announced a poll watcher task force to guard against voter suppression from Trump or the proud boys or something today... considering he is the one who stands accused of actually suppressing #NYC votes in 2018. (1)
Recall in 2018, he hired a Chief Democracy Officer (whatever that meant)... same person who the press just learned was pushed and not replaced back in January. (2) gothamgazette.com/city/9845-de-b…
Recall, in her first big action, she sent out 400,000! Letters to folks telling them they were listed as an “inactive voter,” many to people who regularly voted. Allegations of voter suppression ensued. (3) nytimes.com/2018/10/16/nyr…
Myself and many Democrats were outraged. The admin said they were just reaching out to folks who “could be” inactive... but, where did they get this list, who were they targeting? Why? Many of these folks were frequent voters (4) nypost.com/2018/10/16/new…
After all, this wasn’t the administrations only f-up that year with suppressing votes through inaccurate mailing lists... (5) wnyc.org/story/mayors-d…
So to clear this all up. We asked for the lists and how they got em... after all, it’s public info. They refused, so we FOILed the data. 2 years later. They haven’t complied, and yesterday sent us this to keep that info secret.
But yea, now he is telling us Trump is organizing supporters to go into “lower income, immigrant communities” in #NYC to intimidate and suppress voters. Only he can be trusted to stop this. This isn’t happening, yet the press just gobbles it up. What about his own suppression?

Want to hear how big of pieces of shit @NYGovCuomo @NYCMayor & the state liquor authority are?

Listen to this one

Joyce’s tavern had never been visited by the State Liquor Authority... not during Covid, not before, & had no violations

They’re are getting killed financially (1)
On Thurs, They let me have a little book signing- Outdoors of course, on a small patio. I advertised the event from the same twitter acnt I use to bash Cuomo & de Blasio on a daily basis. The bar also has flags that wld make it seem like it was right-leaning (2)
What a coincidence, on Friday, the very next night, the SLA goons come in for a surprise random inspection. The first time there ever. Was there a complaint?

The restaurant was very busy that night, “busier than they have been since Covid” according to the owner...why? (3)

(1) So if we’re talking about Media & @Facebook bias...

After a GOP debate in 2015, @tedcruz made a comment about the govt monitoring phone records. There was a question of whether it was classified. NBC wrote this story... so far so good... nbcnews.com/politics/2016-…
(2) The next day, NBC’s Meet the Press decided to promote the article through a sponsored post on Facebook... still so far so good.
(3) But on Dec 16, the story was essentially debunked and disproven, as the supposed classified info was previously published in the WSJ. There was no issue.. latimes.com/nation/politic…
