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.

Let’s fight for a future New York City that we can be proud of – together. Join us at https://t.co/TGnxwuBiHB

Highlights from today’s campaign announcement speech 😀👍@globeandmail https://t.co/GDTDHDNlvj

New York City! Can you feel it? Our comeback starts today. 🗽❤️👏

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

I’m tired of people explaining why we couldn’t do something.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

I’m 46 today. If you all could save any birthday wishes or donations until later tonight that would be phenomenal . . . 😀👍🎉🗽

2019: Who is this nobody running for President? Doesn't he know he needs to have huge name recognition to do that?

2021: Why is Andrew Yang with his huge name recognition running for mayor of NYC? Does he plan to use his star power to trounce the lesser known candidates?

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

If you don’t impeach a guy who sent a mob to your house that resulted in multiple deaths there’s not much left.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

You know one thing I’m proud of? I didn’t have to attack anyone to get here. Thanks #yanggang. Big days ahead. 😀🙏

@itsauntiekatkat @GoHilary @SenJeffMerkley Given the number of "souvenirs" they took back home, I think it was also "prop hunt" 😆

The idea that poor people will be irresponsible with their money, and squander it, seems to be a product of deep-seated biases rather than emblematic of the truth.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

Polarization and violence will continue to rise unless we address social media’s cultivation of extremity and conspiracy theories. Fake news spreads 6 times more powerfully than truth on social media. That is a landscape that will breed mistrust and hatred.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

For Cable News we should revive the Fairness Doctrine which the FCC had on the books until 1985 that required that you show both sides of a political issue. It was repealed by Reagan. If there was ever a time to bring it back it’s now.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

The most difficult and important is to overhaul social media. We need federal data ownership legislation mirrored after the CPRA in California. There should be ad-free versions of every platform. Section 230 should be amended to not include content that is amplified by algorithm.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

The basic problem is that social media creators and companies are rewarded for having more extreme and untrue content. The goal should be to change or balance the incentives. Tech, government, media and NGOs need to collaborate on this to support fact-supported journalism.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

The big tech companies are essentially quasi-governments unto themselves at this point - the problem is their decisions are driven by maximizing ad revenue, user engagement and profit growth. That’s not the set of incentives you want when deciding what millions regard as truth.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

Our government is hopelessly behind on tech. Legislators haven’t had guidance since 1995 when they got rid of the Office of Technology Assessment. The average Senator is 62. Speeches won’t do much against trillions of dollars of financial incentives.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

I remember people not believing in Universal Basic Income like it was earlier this year.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

The best and most feasible way to reform the Electoral College is to have states award their Electors in proportion to the vote in that state. That way every state would matter instead of just the swing states. This is something that the vast majority of states could endorse.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

We need to get cash relief Into the hands of the American people. @HumanityForward is launching a new national advocacy campaign and you can help! Chip in here and let’s get Congress to do its job - for the sake of millions: https://t.co/yvnf9fkHis
