@NYCMayor@nycretirees can’t afford to stay in NY either because of how your Mayors Office of Labor relations is manipulating our healthcare benefits and passing more costs onto us. We’ve been asking you for a meeting for 172 days
Obviously this is Zohran’s night, but it’s worth remembering—and appreciating—the guy who made all of this possible, back when none of it was imaginable.
Dear @DHSgov: Did you know our starting forward is a US citizen through birthright citizenship? You’re trying to strip away that right.
Did you know an additional 6 Team USA players were born outside US soil?
Did you know half the team are dual citizens?
Also, Happy Juneteenth
Even the Bus driver on duty decided to pull over & get JIGGY!
New York Knicks have brought back the energy to this city. Hopefully he doesn’t lose his job 😂
Trump is 80 years old and unhealthy, he’s one foot in the grave but all his enablers? They still have a whole life ahead of them and we all have a responsibility to make sure each and every one of them spends that remaining time in prison.
Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:
“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.
Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’
I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.
Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”
