Philly can't be a city of no. We cannot be a world class city, fund our schools, and rebuild our communities by obstructing change and fighting investment. We can't yearn to always be America's poorest big city as a sort of cultural statement.

We need to innovate and grow.

It is not unreasonable for government to timely conduct and certify elections. This laxity undermines public trust in elections.

Why do Republicans hate that California counts every vote?

[Kevin Levy @KevinMLevy]

@AnneDornPhilly They’re actively litigating bike lane authorization!

Oh no won't someone think of the historic vista of the neighborhood!

[FriendsofPineandSpruce @Fpinespruce]

@PhiladelphiaGov @StreetsPhila This barricades in residents, destroys the historic vista of the neighborhood, increases traffic congestion, and is an example of runaway capture of city agencies and leaders by a minority of angry micromobility activists. All in advance of one the most important visitor Summer.

you don’t have to do this. being skeptical about the source of some of these allegations is one thing, but arguing that even if it did happen it’s totally fine is disgusting.

“subdued her and put her in a room” do you hear yourself? do you think women are children or equal participants in society?

here's where we are on Graham Platner or whatever

A dollar per ride tax is going to be 100% passed onto the consumer. 100% of the time. It doesn’t make the billion dollar corporations pay more. It is a direct burden on Philadelphia consumers.

Slopulism will kill our cities and tax bases.

[Mayor Cherelle L. Parker @PhillyMayor]

Let’s be clear.

The rideshare tax was never about burdening Philadelphia residents. It was about making sure billion-dollar corporations pay their fair share in the city they profit from every single day.

Many Philadelphians saw it firsthand during Roots Picnic weekend. Rides that normally cost $20 or $30 surged far beyond that because these companies will always find ways to maximize their profits when demand is high.

What we proposed was simple: invest a portion of those profits back into Philadelphia. Into our schools. To preserve jobs. To support the people who serve our children every day. To give our young people the best possible chance to succeed.

Instead, misinformation convinced people that my administration wanted this tax on them.

Philadelphia deserves better than that. Our children deserve better than that.

We cannot continue allowing billion-dollar companies to do business in our city, benefit from our residents, and walk away without contributing their fair share to the future of Philadelphia.

I will never stop fighting for the resources our city needs, the opportunities our children deserve, and the fairness Philadelphians expect.

@AnneDornPhilly @coryfromphilly We do tax the doctors wages, whether they live in the city or not. But when we keep increasing the property tax exemption through homestead expansion, it is a direct drain on money to the School District which is funded in large part by property taxes.

[Kevin Levy @KevinMLevy]

Propose to lower the homestead exemption which raids the coffers of the school district. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Mayor Cherelle L. Parker @PhillyMayor]

It is fair and it is the right thing to do! I have no intention of stopping and I will never stop fighting for our kids. I will keep fighting because this is about affordability, this is about what's right, and this is about protecting our own.

[Caitlin Legacki @caitleg]

If this were levied against a Republican candidate, every Democrat would call it what it is: assault.

[Daniel Pearson @DPearsonPHL]

My take on him has been that he's a unfit for office ever since the tattoo news. It simply isn't realistic that a guy with a lifelong obsession with war and military history did not realize what that was. The wall in Croatia almost certainly would have had other Nazi symbols.

[Matthew Walker @matthewjswalker]

Telling British Muslims to essentially 'go home' if they're not sufficiently understanding or accepting of gay people is just racist.

Western gay men are some of the most privileged and obnoxiously bigoted people on earth - how can you expect solidarity if you act like this?

The attitude of “we shouldn’t care about quality of life crimes” is sad.

New Yorkers and other citydwellers deserve to enjoy high qualities of life, even if DSA electeds would rather they not.

[Yiatin Chu @ycinnewyork]

Councilmember Caban doesn’t care about New Yorker’s quality of life. She minimizes the explosion of 311 calls, and insinuates that @NYPDPC is using broken window policing; Tisch says they are not.

Abolish California.

NEW: California officials warn final LA mayoral election results could take weeks, with only 54% of votes counted.

@harlanrosen That’s how I came out to my favorite teacher in high school. “Ok…and?”

Formative.

[Kevin Levy @KevinMLevy]

@BentleytheDog This is my exact point. Jewish Dems, and in particular gay Jewish Dems, are feeling somewhat and increasingly isolated within the Democratic Party. What is the Republican Party going to do to make some inroads? If "fuck off" is the answer, then what's next?
