Prisons shouldn't be nursing homes or morgues. Pass Elder Parole and Fair & Timely Parole now.

“They’re a lot” @NYPDPC says of the many letters @galeabrewer admits she writes to the Nypd (I’m assuming these are emails… but then again they could very well be paper letters)

“I write 50 letters a week,” Brewer says.

“I know,” Tisch replies.

The @nytimes has failed in a number of ways. But today they spoiled the final of BakeOff by putting the winner's face on the front page of the website and i'm SAD.

45 people have lost their lives while Eric Adams has been Mayor. Our new Mayor MUST do better and #CloseRikers

[@thisiskmck.bsky.social @thisiskmck]

asked about Rikers, Eric Adams just said: "People say, 'Eric you have deaths on Rikers.' Yeah, people commit suicide. People do drug overdoses."

Every death in NYC jails is preventable. No one should die at Rikers. @NYCMayor must not accept the crisis of mortality at Rikers.

I'm a NYC tax payer (and voter) and I want to pay more taxes so people have access to (trans affirming) healthcare, housing, education, and food.

Point of clarity: LGBTQ+ NYPD aren’t being excluded from the march. Their desire to march *in uniform* in it is the issue.

This is a *standing* ban that has been in place since 2020, not new.

+ It was harassment *by NYPD* that sparked the Stonewall rebellion that led to Pride.
