🧵: Here are some highlights from the Manhattan Borough President @NY1 debate! (1/5)
Things I’ve Done:
✅ Led job creation & recovery efforts as economic secretary for NYS
Things I’ll Do:
✅ Est. a one-stop-shop in the MBP office focused on small biz recovery
✅ Increase livability by investing in protecting & expanding our public spaces (2/5)
I want to highlight the leadership shown by @UWSOpenHearts and @homeless_hero when it comes to finding solutions for the men at the Lucerne. It should be a model for this city. (3/5)
1 in 4 families across the country experiencing homelessness is in NY. Clearly, we are failing to provide the kind of housing people need in this city.
It’s time to address the eviction crisis, invest in NYCHA & more. I am ready to advocate for these changes when I'm BP. (4/5)
Member deference has led us down a lot of roads that actually don’t benefit the collective borough or the city.
That whole system is backward; it has ppl in community boards believing they work for the politician when in reality the politician works for the communities. (5/5)

Restricting significant tool for protestors to transmit information in China. scmp.com/tech/tech-tren…
“In 2019, AirDrop was used by young Hong Kong activists 2 send unsolicited images via AirDrop to subway riders, inviting them to join anti-government protests. Western media reports have also said that AirDrop has recently been used to distribute anti-government images in China.”
He can do these disgusting ads because NY campaign finance laws allow him to spend campaign money on trying to smear us women who came forward about his abuse.
He is literally paying for this abuse with money from New Yorkers.
It’s dark that he can lie & attempt to harm us women again & again in public view. It is even more corrupt that he can do it with campaign $.
And yet NYS leaders with do nothing about this because they don’t want to give up any control over their own campaign $.
It is beyond shameful and shows anyone who is paying attention just how abusive this man is and how lacking he is in anything resembling a moral compass.
The man is literally dead - as a result of a substance abuse problem which is also a mental health problem. What a bizarre moment to talk about “no free passes for police officers.”
There’s no free pass here indeed. The man is dead. This is not how to do police accountability.
There is nothing wrong with going to a bar and reading your book alone. Begging folks who have a problem with this to get a life and leave this lady alone. 🙏🏼
Alex was my first boss. I basically bugged him until he gave me a job as his admin right out of college. He realizes quickly my talents were not there, but instead working with people and on the landscape.
We would fly to Memphis and work with local community members to create a park at Shelby Farms that would bring people together instead of further apart. He quietly entrusted me with so much and allowed me to develop my confidence and love of public parks and public spaces.
At least at the time, I was the only woman working for Alex and the only non-Yale grad. I never liked sitting with cards that made me the odd one out and so I asked him if I could audit his “Study of the City” course up at Yale while I was working for him.
