I moved to New York City 25 years ago. I came of age, fell in love, and became a father here. Seeing our City in so much pain breaks my heart.

Amazing work from a NYC parent. Kinda shows what kind of craziness we have to go through for high school admissions. #nycpublicschool#nychighschool
Results from the 2023 NYC School Admission Lottery Surveys by @ameliemarian https://t.co/p2dpVIuQ2i
The ever changing criteria for NYC public school admissions especially in Middle School and High School is so stressful for NYC families.
Now taking away ALL screened middle school in D2 just doesn’t make sense. We easily could’ve had screened, zoned, and lottery schools
Superintendents & School officials have an obligation to represent the voices of the majority of their constituents, not the ideology of family members that have a vested 💰💵 interest in validating their own research findings. The families in @CECDistrict2 are being ignored 🙁☹️
In 1979, the weekly earnings of the typical American male who completed his education with a high school diploma was, in today’s dollars, $1,017. Today it is 14% lower at $881. - @RichardvReeves
Lots of discrepancies in the @NYCSchools new data upload to MySchools. Number of past applicants decreased for all schools, but last year's applicants have proof there were more.
Did DOE change the way they count applicants (only those who did not match higher)? Need transparency
to our home and is competitive b/c we neither have district nor borough priority in Manhattan. And b/c we did not spend her childhood prepping for the #SHSAT, it’s most likely she will not get into a specialized HS either. Still going to work through our options but hope not high
This might be it. It might be time for me and my family to move out of NYC. We just got our HS admissions lottery and group #. My child who has a 92.75 GPA, is in honors math, tests in the upper percentile of NY State exam will have a really hard time getting into a HS close 1/2
Today, my daughter’s middle school went into shelter in place because of shots fired outside her school. It’s not okay for parents to think their kids will not get home safe from school. Please listen to this guy. We need to wake up.
@morethanmySLE Wow. In 4 minutes, former U.S. Marine Marksmanship Instructor and Arizona Sec. of State candidate @Adrian_Fontes dismantles the right's Second Amendment lies. Watch this till the end.
@morethanmySLE My daughter’s middle school is about half a block away and they had a shelter in place order right at dismissal. This is the America that we live in, when you don’t know if your kids will get home alive from school.
1) Personal news: I am running for office

Had to get back on twitter for this - fluff piece on Adams. Headline using bodega for Marinello’s Gourmet Deli. Remember Yang’s bodegagate? How Yang was pretending to be a New Yorker by using the word bodega to describe a deli. This is what we mean by #microagression
