@bse229@votefordion_ And there it is. We’ve gone from “you didn’t speak out” to “you didn’t use this account enough for me.” 😂
Exactly my point. X doesn’t define my advocacy or public record. I do this work in the actual community, not for a timeline.
Hope you and whoever sent you have a great day
I can no longer remain silent.
Brooklyn Democrats deserve transparency, accountability, and a party that respects the will of its voters.
My full statement below 👇🏾
Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair Bichotte Hermelyn @ambichotte releases a new video on Brooklyn's historic Party reforms- expanding representation across Assembly Districts and strengthening our fight for working families and affordability. ⤵️
@bse229@votefordion_ So only those who held the mic opposed it? Everyone else on those steps didn’t? That’s an asinine standard
You have no idea what I shared, said or did outside X. I’m a community advocate in real life not just social media. My work doesn’t cease to exist because you didn’t see it
@bse229@votefordion_ You’re arguing semantics. I opposed it before the vote and attended the rally. Social media isn’t the only platform I have to speak out.
My statement addresses what leadership DID after it passed. Opposing a proposal before and condemning the action after aren’t contradictory.
@bse229@votefordion_ What’s the confusion? “I can remain silent no longer” referred to my full statement, not that I hadn’t spoken out. I was at the rally opposing this before the vote.
I waited to see if they’d follow through before denouncing it. They did. I responded. Nothing contradictory there.
@queenoftheclick@votefordion_ Silent as in I hadn’t made an official statement, but I’ve made my noise…loud and proud. Thank you for agreeing Brooklyn is getting burned though.
“Just because something is legal doesn’t mean you should do it,” Public Advocate Jumaane Williams says of proposed rules changes.
“It is illegal though,” Brad Lander chimes in a few feet from the mic.
(Peña sued over this today so NKD prob wants to stick to that argument)
Reformers inside the Brooklyn Democratic Party rallied today, casting the county organization’s current leader Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn as a Trump-like election denier in a last-minute bid to prevent her from pursuing what they described as an audacious power grab in the party, @Annie_McDonough reports.

Biggest reported beneficiaries/targets of super PAC spending in city races so far.
Cuomo, sure. But this level of support for Darlene Mealy is fascinating for a council member who is not considered to be influential or legislatively productive.
we got these mailers in our district. they promoted anthony t. jones (involved in the signature scandal) and darlene mealy (who doesn't even show up to her job as a city councilwoman). wish i'd saved them—felt they criminalized opposing candidates+appeared to darken their photos.
If you're wondering my council member Darlene is one of the 8.
Not because she voted against it. But because SHE WASN'T THERE!!
AS ALWAYS MEALY IS ABSENT.
