Wonder what became of then-mayoral candidate Adams' promise to cut NYPD overtime by half? Yup, another broken promise. But why is NYPD OT pay such a problem- aside from it costing a LOT of $$ amid cuts to services, education, etc- you might ask? A little🧵cityandstateny.com/policy/2022/08…

.@NYPDnews War on Working Families continues Each bag of clothing & toys represents a family falling into poverty as a result of your actions Shameful to celebrate criminalizing hard-working immigrants trying to make a living. Why don't you help vendors get a license instead?

@ElieNYC Also, west coast friends, if you could tell us what to do during and after- we have no idea! Do we need to be concerned about aftershocks? Are we okay in buildings? On the subway? On bridges? Us east-coasters don't know anything about earthquake safety!

Dear California… how the FUCK do you live like this? #earthquake

@yuhline Do we need to be concerned about aftershocks? Are we okay in buildings? On the subway? On bridges? Clearly an east-coaster who doesn't know anything about earthquake safety!

Is everyone ok?!? We just had an earthquake that was felt in all of New York and New Jersey and Connecticut….not sure where else…

The NYPD sent a warrantless subpoena for the Twitter information of a police-accountability activist, asking for messages and videos, likely in violation of federal law. Challenged to defend the subpoena in court, the department withdrew it instead: hellgatenyc.com/nypd-warrantle…

@macfathom Personally, I won't feel safe until I have my own personal cop accompanying me everywhere and who I can beat at candycrush.

I guess I'm just not sure how I'm supposed to feel safe on the subway knowing that anyone on the car or platform with me might be carrying more than 3 oz of liquids.

@rawphood @StanFritz Ah, yes, a problem famously solved by … checks notes… bag checks. 🤔

@StanFritz Stop ppl from getting pushed onto the subway tracks just for being Asian.

@henrymwinterr @LissaJoStewart Exactly this- I learned the formula WWJD -1 = the right answer. Works every time.

@LissaJoStewart when i was studying for the mpre, the rule of thumb was, 1) ask what would Jesus do 2) that's not the answer 3) the answer is the next most ethical thing

@theintercept @akela_lacy Correction on my correction- it was four members. Apparently I cannot count to four late on a Friday night of a long week.

@theintercept @akela_lacy Hi @akela_lacy - this was a lawsuit brought by 3 individual members, not a PD group. Docket here: iapps.courts.state.ny.us/webcivil/FCASe…

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

@ChrisHampton Awww I remember this day.

Seven years ago today I met this guy. He's the closest thing to my own kid I'm ever going to have (on two legs, anyway) and I love him to bits. 🏳️‍⚧️🩷💪✨

According to a federal court monitor’s new report, NYPD’s "neighborhood safety teams" have stopped the largest number of New Yorkers since 2015. A staggering 97% of the people stopped were Black or Hispanic & nearly ¼ of the stops were unconstitutional. nytimes.com/2023/06/05/nyr…

@CariMarshallTX @ScottNover Millennials too! At least the older among us who had some taste in music in our teens.

The air quality in chicago is terrible

@ScottNover This is not a joke, so please stop smiling.

@stylianos_k This is leadership when it’s sorely needed. Impressed! Sad I missed it.

@macfathom (To Eric Adams, @HellGateNY is hella serious but in a fun way)

After a day on defense, insisting he’s responding adequately to the air-quality crisis, Eric Adams gave a press conference in the Emergency Management command center touting a “potential way to distribute masks.” Then he left to party with De Niro. hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-air…

@CJSprigman I sure hope so. Some of us have been screaming into the void about it for a minute.

@MaxRivlinNadler @jlabrk @HellGateNY This is the reporting we need. Thanks @HellGateNY. Also 🤬 Adams.

NEW for @HellGateNY: Before he could distribute masks to public housing residents, Mayor Eric Adams needed to distribute a key to the city to Robert De Niro. hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-air…

@KendraWrites This! All the west coast advice about turning your car air onto recycle. SMH, there’s no turning the air on my walk to the subway, the wait on the outdoor platform, and the walk to my office on recycle. We’re walkers / outdoors to an extent & in a way other US cities are not.

@LeVeauNY @MarkLevineNYC @GovKathyHochul

@MollyGriffard @MarkLevineNYC @GovKathyHochul There would be, but they’re occupied by our new migrant friends.

NEW: @GovKathyHochul just announced that 400k N95 masks will be distributed tomorrow at: * Subway stations * Port Authority Bus Terminal * Javits Center * State Parks (e.g. Riverbank)
