.@ZohranKMamdani’s “plan” provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

From Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail,” written in 1963:
“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

New York City has the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel, and we stand side by side with Israel every day — but we do so with extra resolve tonight.
I love that everyones re-reading The Hunger Games… you know, that series about the teenagers that overthrow their corrupt government who allow children to routinely be hunted down and murdered for sport. Something about it feels so timely…
@sarahlugor There’s not enough conversation that goes around about Pedophiles & groomers. Being 18 and in early twenties is still old enough to be groomed & they know this. They feed on the curiosity of little girls, they consciously plan & target them. It’s so disgusting
