@podcastrespectr @daniela__127 @THECITYNY You don’t know Katie. She holds everyone to task. As she should.

[Bay Ridge Democrats @BayRidgeDems]

Ain’t nobody got time for this nonsense. We didn’t spend 16 years fighting to turn southern Brooklyn blue just to see our party used as a personal fiefdom, with the rules rigged to preserve one person’s grip on power. Your job is to beat Republicans, not act like them. GTFOH.

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

The Brooklyn Democratic Party leadership must respect the results of the June elections and the will of voters, not change the rules in a backroom deal in an attempt to cling to power.

Brooklyn Democrats deserve new leadership.

[Nydia M Velázquez @ReElectNydia]

This is exactly the kind of machine politics that makes Americans lose faith in our system. A blatant, undemocratic attempt to hold onto power and block reform.
Let Brooklyn Democrats pick their own leaders.

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

Comptroller Levine is right. There's too much at stake for our party to have leaders who are more focused on hoarding power than they are on delivering wins in November.

[Indian American Muslim Council @IAMCouncil]

NYC Council Members @ShahanaFromBK and @LincolnRestler have signed on, joining the demand that @TheGarden cancel the August 29 hate event featuring Hindu supremacist paramilitary leader Mohan Bhagwat.

We urge their colleagues on @NYCCouncil to join them.

[Citizens Union @CitizensUnionNY]

Rewriting the rules after voters have cast their ballots in an attempt to stay in power is a blatant subversion of the democratic process. Proposing this on the eve of an expected ouster is not a “reform to expand participation and transparency,” but a reckless power grab.

[Council Member Lincoln Restler @CMRestler]

We might get more heavy rain & flooding this weekend – text NotifyNYC to 692-692 for emergency alerts.

Prepare by clearing catch basins on your street & putting out flood barriers. Please limit travel & never drive or walk through flooded streets.

If your home or business was damaged by yesterday's storm, please report it at https://t.co/TFcJ35gS3V. If you need help from the City, please report it to 311 & email us: [email protected].

Central Brooklyn’s most renowned leaders condemned Rodneyse’s naked power grab:

- Top NYS Law Enforcement official @TishJames
- Next House Speaker @RepJeffries
- #2 ranked in NYC Govt @JumaaneWilliams

All BK elected officials should speak out today!

The Kings County Un-Democratic Party, folks.

In a time of fascism, our local Democratic party leader is spending her time disenfranchising voters, attempting to undo the results of a democratic election, and desperately trying to hold onto power.

A total embarassment.

[Aaron Ouyang @AaronOuyang9]

If you lose an election, you should transition power peacefully and step aside. Not manufacture a whole bunch of votes from a backroom to stay in power.

Voters voted for change. It's time for us to deliver that on behalf of Brooklyn Democrats, not do whatever this is.

[Gerson Borrero @GersonBorrero]

Bichotte’s move is so obvious that even Jay Jacobs figured it out.

This is oddest thing to spend money on.

[Bruce Blakeman @NassauExec]

Gen Z is done being priced out of Kathy Hochul’s New York.

They’re ready for real affordability, and they know they’ll keep more of their paycheck under my plan.

Honored to have your support!

[Lincoln Restler @LincolnRestler]

The Brooklyn Democratic Party has been so brazenly corrupt for so long that Rodneyse thinks she can just rewrite the rules of the party and steal the election won outright by the reformers.

Every single Brooklyn Democratic elected official should condemn this duplicity today.

[Kings County Democratic County Committee @bkdems]

The Brooklyn Democratic Party is moving forward with a major reform effort to expand participation and representation strengthening transparency, so that our county organization serves Brooklyn's diverse communities. See below⤵️

[Jeff Coltin @JCColtin]

Letitia James and Jumaane Williams are pushing back on Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn's attempt to hold onto the leadership of the Brooklyn Dems, saying it "goes against what we believe in as Democrats."

[Council Member Lincoln Restler @CMRestler]

Horrible that two New Yorkers were killed on their bikes in hit & runs in just the last 2 days. We’re fighting for a network of safe protected bike lanes and cracking down on super speeders, and this is a stark reminder that there’s so much more work to be done.

[Lincoln Restler @LincolnRestler]

Imagine House GOP not liking outcome of an election & appointing a bunch of hacks to permanent appointed seats to ignore the will of voters and preserve their illegal hold on power.

That is what @AMBichotte & @bkdems are trying to do under our noses.

Brooklyn deserves better.

[Rich Mendez @RichMendezJr]

Assembly Member Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn told us that she plans to grant voting powers to county committee officers in a move that could potentially fend off a challenge from New Kings Democrats reformers over control of the Brooklyn Dems
