Organizer first, lawyer now, nerd forever. Tweeting a lot less these days and... happier?

Wonder what became of then-mayoral candidate Adams' promise to cut NYPD overtime by half? Yup, another broken promise.

But why is NYPD OT pay such a problem- aside from it costing a LOT of $$ amid cuts to services, education, etc- you might ask? A little🧵https://t.co/4tMfMJU2SZ

.@NYPDnews War on Working Families continues

Each bag of clothing & toys represents a family falling into poverty as a result of your actions

Shameful to celebrate criminalizing hard-working immigrants trying to make a living. Why don't you help vendors get a license instead?

@ElieNYC Also, west coast friends, if you could tell us what to do during and after- we have no idea! Do we need to be concerned about aftershocks? Are we okay in buildings? On the subway? On bridges? Us east-coasters don't know anything about earthquake safety!

@yuhline Do we need to be concerned about aftershocks? Are we okay in buildings? On the subway? On bridges? Clearly an east-coaster who doesn't know anything about earthquake safety!

The NYPD sent a warrantless subpoena for the Twitter information of a police-accountability activist, asking for messages and videos, likely in violation of federal law. Challenged to defend the subpoena in court, the department withdrew it instead: https://t.co/25I8p8IHxg

@macfathom Personally, I won't feel safe until I have my own personal cop accompanying me everywhere and who I can beat at candycrush.

@rawphood @StanFritz Ah, yes, a problem famously solved by … checks notes… bag checks. 🤔

@henrymwinterr @LissaJoStewart Exactly this- I learned the formula WWJD -1 = the right answer. Works every time.

@theintercept @akela_lacy Correction on my correction- it was four members. Apparently I cannot count to four late on a Friday night of a long week.

@theintercept @akela_lacy Hi @akela_lacy - this was a lawsuit brought by 3 individual members, not a PD group. Docket here: https://t.co/zJ9tPuTFcr

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action

Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed

The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

@ChrisHampton Awww I remember this day.

[Policing Project @policingproject]

According to a federal court monitor’s new report, NYPD’s "neighborhood safety teams" have stopped the largest number of New Yorkers since 2015. A staggering 97% of the people stopped were Black or Hispanic & nearly ¼ of the stops were unconstitutional.

@CariMarshallTX @ScottNover Millennials too! At least the older among us who had some taste in music in our teens.

[Molly Griffard @MollyGriffard]

@ScottNover This is not a joke, so please stop smiling.

[Molly Griffard @MollyGriffard]

@stylianos_k This is leadership when it’s sorely needed. Impressed! Sad I missed it.

[Molly Griffard @MollyGriffard]

@macfathom (To Eric Adams, @HellGateNY is hella serious but in a fun way)

[Molly Griffard @MollyGriffard]

@CJSprigman I sure hope so. Some of us have been screaming into the void about it for a minute.

[Molly Griffard @MollyGriffard]

@MaxRivlinNadler @jlabrk @HellGateNY This is the reporting we need. Thanks @HellGateNY. Also 🤬 Adams.

[Molly Griffard @MollyGriffard]

@KendraWrites This! All the west coast advice about turning your car air onto recycle. SMH, there’s no turning the air on my walk to the subway, the wait on the outdoor platform, and the walk to my office on recycle. We’re walkers / outdoors to an extent & in a way other US cities are not.
