ED @nyc_defenders -Manhattan Defenders/Views are my own. “If you are NEUTRAL in situations of injustice, you have CHOSEN the side of the oppressor” #DesmondTuTu
@JumboVismaRoad They left their teammate and Red Jersey leader dangling for no reason other than their selfishness. "Wow, guys! Way to leave Sepp behind" Pathetic
@JumboVismaRoad Jonas is a selfish rider!!! He should have slowed down to pace Sepp and allowed Primoz to go up the road for the win since he’s further back on GC from Sepp!!!! Horrible teammate. @seppkuss You deserve better!!!! #GOSEPPGO
Only 1 rider can win grand tours, one day classics, 5 day stage races, gravel and just about anything he puts his mind to @TamauPogi BTW, his #1 goal this year was Tour de Flanders not TDF
Injustice is pumping millions into supporting DA but not Public Defenders. Hey @GovKathyHochul the same discovery resources prosecutors need, defenders need! We have clients that deserve that! The DAs in NYC support us getting the same funding they do why don’t you?
1 in 7 New Yorkers face a life sentence, even after they've been released from incarceration. A Black Future for all means giving even formerly convicted New Yorkers a #CleanSlate and a second chance in life. Support S.211 for a Clean Slate for all. @cleanslateny
So much to say - The officer at the car stop scene who hopes “they stomp his ass.” The officers holding a handcuffed Tyrie while others beat on him. The police coverup starting immediately with “he reached for my gun.” An often used made up fact by police to justify beatings.
The footage was not something I wanted to watch. I was warned in advance. As far as I was concerned, I was prepared. There was no amount of preparation that could have prepared me for this. I can't stop crying. Just awful. #TyreNichols
@nyc_defenders attorneys Stan Hickman & Kristin McAlpin along w/the full defense team received a verdict today — NOT GUILTY. Client was charged with attempted murder but now has her life back after waiting two years for justice to be delivered! Great work team.
Oh. Public defenders got funding in Delaware County, PA. Defenders then reduced the pretrial jail population by 35%. And then crime went down. Public defense is a solution for health, safety, freedom, justice, & cost savings. https://t.co/KoD4dXg5oC
New data from @NYCComptroller shows the number of detainees with serious mental illness on Rikers increased to 19% in November. For more on mental illness behind bars, watch our series: https://t.co/HfHl5esm8a
@nytimes misses the mark. Opposition was driven by constituents, community based organizations & a coalition of unions, academics & civil rights groups. The @NYSenate who opposed listened, researched & voted their conscious. They showed conviction; a rarity in politics these days
I am not trying to bash the @nytimes or @luisferre@jessemckinley who I respect a lot and are great, hard-working journalists.
HOWEVER... these articles continue to be written from essentially the first-person perspective of the Governor.

@jessicaramos@InvestinOurNY@annakelles@strongforall Housing, Housing & more affordable Housing for low income families; to transition families & individuals out of the shelter system; to provide for those who are street homeless; and supportive housing for persons with mental and/or physical disabilities.
NEW - the Board of Correction issues the following statement saying @CorrectionNYC has revoked its ability to independently access and monitor security camera/body camera footage on Rikers. This comes after we received body camera footage from the board through FOIL. (1/2)
Regardless of what may or may not happen on the litigation front this moment would not have happened w/out the incredible leadership of @peter_f_martin He’s been working tirelessly to insure N.Y. gets a Chief J. whose judicial philosophy reflects the values NY’ers care most about
