THREAD: 55 yrs ago 2day, #MLK was murdered in Memphis standing w sanitation workers in their strike 4 better working conditions. He said of the strike, “We’ve got to give ourselves to this struggle until the end. Nothing would be more tragic than to stop.” We still have! (1/4)
2/4 Unions help workers come together to bargain with bosses over safety, health benes, pay. Unions also co-founded & support civil rights coalition @civilrightsorg . The nations oldest & largest. bit.ly/3GDjOof
3/4 Unions are under attack in FL & other states BECAUSE union members fight to support families, ensure kids can learn Black history & for #votingrights. Unions mean people who work hard can have more of a say, including civil rights. bit.ly/40ZKOG8

1/4 Tonight was my last appearance on @MSNBC as a Legal Analyst. It has been a great honor to join the smart, gracious hosts, the other contributors & guests, & to work w/ the producers, camera & sound crew, make up artists & security who made it family. And YOU the audience!
2/2 You supported me, defended me, loved my cats with me, and have become like family too! I always worried about letting you down because you never let me fall.
3/4 Even when I lacked all ability to control my face when I heard foolishness!.. and our #SamNunberg moment!

[1] Reading the #Jan6thCommittee court filing: “[Despite being told that his allegations of campaign fraud were false, [Trump] continued to feature those same false allegation ads seen by millions of Americans.” Translation: Trump knew he was lying.
[2] On 1/2/21 Trump w/ John Eastman who #Jan6Committee deems a co-conspirator, had a tele co defense w/ hundreds of state legislators in SEIU states trying to get them to decertify the election results. Translation: Trump personally acted to advance the conspiracy.
[3] Trump wanted to make minion Jeffrey Clark head of DOJ. Clarke willing to send letters lying abt possibility election stolen to state legislatures to pressure them to decertify. His own WH Counsel threatened to quit. Translation: More evidence Trump knew it was wrong.

THREAD: This morning I stood once again in front of the Lucerne Hotel where men who were homeless were housed until last week. There I announced the end to my campaign for Mayor. 1/10
I went back to Lucerne because it was a moving and miraculous model of a community coming together in an historic crisis of the pandemic to solve another crisis.
Homelessness. 2/10
Yesterday's updated results mean Eric Adams will be poised to become the 2nd Black Mayor in the history of NYC. It was a hard-fought race and this outcome has real meaning for many who feared rank-choice voting would mean less representation for Black voters. It didn't. 3/10

“My 16-year-old son: He needs a future. Please. Please.” Those are the words that have been ringing in my ears since I heard them last week. They are the reason I am running for mayor, though I don’t know the name of the woman who spoke them to me and may never meet her son.
This has been a hard-fought campaign played out at a time of great turmoil in our city and our lives. But it is also a moment when New Yorkers are coming together and the city is alive with possibility.
And when New Yorkers come together, hold and care for each other, even when we are strangers, there’s nothing we can’t do.

My campaign has proposed bold, progressive ideas that will transform our city and ensure New York City doesn’t just recover, but rises.
