Thank you Senator Chu for the recognition tonight! Honored to be recognized along with so many amazing community leaders and businesses. #grateful

[South Central Brooklyn United for Progress @scbkunited4prog]

Former D22 Community Education Council President Jess Byrne (and our former ExCo member) visited us to tell us about CECs, the history of PLACE, and how they mask right-wing anti-LGBTQ and anti-racial equity values with their pursuit of "academic rigor."

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

I LITERALLY stopped working on my memo so I could read this indictment.

I am on page 24 and JESUS LUPITA NYONG'O CHRIST.

HOW this man still has the capacity to shock me after everything that's happened, i'll never know.

but I am sitting here *STUNNED*.

🧵Good thing @SamMellins did the follow-ups and asked @Yamilzz for data to back up the 300k number (e.g. how voter contacts & positive IDs there were) and how mathematically there would need to be over 100 callers making calls 12 hours straight. #goodjournalism

BK dems are leaving tight races to dry, not donating to their campaigns, and are throwing a $5,000 plate gala instead. No GOTV infrastructure, most coming from WFP to keep its own ballot line. NY State Dems totally absent as well. This party does not care what happens to you.

[Jacqui Painter 📢 @JacquiPainter]

Well hello there everyone 👋 we just wrapped the Exec meeting / DL meeting ~ an hour ago.

What a day!!

My main update for the day is that my vacancy appoint slate lost the vote. (🧵1/3)

[Lydia Green @LydiaGreenBK]

At the New York State Democratic Committee meeting this Thursday, I will be introducing a resolution calling on our party to support ranked choice voting (RCV) for all primary elections in NY. 🧵 https://t.co/m87XYi0IJt

[Julio Peña III | 胡立歐 @JulioPenaNY]

Stealing District Leader seats that were for the Red Hook community by placing non-residents in them just so you can pad your majority. If it wasn't so brazen, I would be impressed.

[Samy Nemir Olivares @Samynemir]

These meetings have not been safe spaces, from some screaming at some, shame them for their votes to this incident last night. No women, no Latino or anyone should go into a meeting & exposed to sexual language or demeaning and derogatory personal comments. This is unacceptable.

[Jesse Pierce 🚲 @jessepiercebk]

These DL ExCo meetings are not a safe space. I’ve witnessed yelling & disrespectful comments directed @Samynemir & @Julio_PenaBK in the past.

Votes are publicly commented on in a way to intimidate.

Every time these meetings are scheduled, I feel a sense of anxiety & dread.

[Maritza Davila @DavilaAssembly]

Assemblywoman Maritza Davila and the Hispanic community was verbally attacked during the Brooklyn Democratic Party Meeting.

[South Central Brooklyn United for Progress @scbkunited4prog]

We are sorry to inform you that our neighbor, founding ExCo member, and healthcare hero Ellen Bilofsky, has passed on. We will keep Ellen’s memory alive by fighting for Medicare for All and the New York Health Act, justice, equality, and a refusal to suffer bullshit.

@twtr_is_dumb @srfeld @AMBichotte @RitaJosephNYC Based on past history, not all clear at all if Rita aligned with Rodneyse. If she wins, let's give Rita the opportunity to show us how she will represent the district

[Blake Morris @VoteBlake40]

@RossBarkan Why Bushwick? Doesn't she live in Park Slope?

[Blake Morris @VoteBlake40]

This is your last chance to vote for change!

Polls close in one hour.

Go vote!

[Roger Stern @NYRogerStern]

Merchants along Newkirk Plaza in Brooklyn complain about massive rat infestation. @VoteBlake40 says plaza, which sits above a subway station, is not owned by any government entity so little is being done. #1010WINS

[Blake Morris @VoteBlake40]

Great talking to people outside PS 249 on Caton road

[Blake Morris @VoteBlake40]

Vote today to determine the future of the 40th council district!
