@DawnDish the new scent is truly awful and gives me a headache every time I use it. I chose your product specifically because the old scent was mild and unobtrusive. Please bring it back. I’ll have to switch to a different brand until you do.

@RepPatRyanNY This is false. I was there: no violence, forcefulness, or vandalism. The protest outside was entirely peaceful, and the action inside your office was an impassioned and civil conversation. Your statement is dangerous and disingenuous and puts the safety of protestors at risk.

Today a crowd attempted to forcibly enter our district office in Kingston, climbing the roof, interrupting work with constituents, and directly threatening my staff. My full statement below.

Thank you to everyone who built this movement. We won because the Hudson Valley is ready to to lead this whole state forward in the fight for the beautiful future we deserve. Now let’s let’s make sure this is only the beginning.

Trying to imagine evacuating five year olds, not known for their ability to move quickly and in an organized fashion, through one door if there is, oh say a gas leak which happened at my daughter’s preschool last summer.

@YouDrivePoorly @JimApplewhite @mikejason73 Omg SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPP!

@JimApplewhite @mikejason73 Okay, let’s say this all together: Correlation is not causation.

@mollymcghee The Road, by Cormac McCarthy Also if I were to write a book about the apocalypse I’d call it Postclassic and it would be about the fall of the Mayan empire, which must have felt apocalyptic in 900 CE. I think modern culture will be in a postclassic phase soon.

Hard not to feel nauseous while looking at the faces of the kids and teachers murdered this week, or the views of republican senators on passing a bill requiring background checks for gun purchases.

If you want to feel like you are doing something to counter the series of gut punches serving as the news, reminder to go canvass for local progressive candidates running against establishment politicians. They all need your help!

Pelosi and Clyburn making 11th hour robo-calls for an anti-abortion candidate with an A rating from the NRA on the day of a horrific mass shooting as Roe is about to be overturned is an absolutely perfect summary of Democratic Party leadership

My town has announced that in light of yesterday's tragedy there will be an increased police presence at the schools. As a black father I now have two potential threats to be concerned over.

I really hope you’re right. Could not stop hugging my daughter this morning.

It scares the shit out of me to think about sending my daughter to school in this country.

@OhNoSheTwitnt I grew up on (not in) Long Island so am in the “on line” camp. when I say “in line” I feel fancy but distanced from my roots.

@JDShapiro I do Tot Shabbat with my kid and they have a zoom in option. I feel like that’s a particularly vulnerable audience for this. Kid’s distracted, parents are sleep deprived and out of it, they’re trying for a second and mom’s fertile RIGHT NOW. I’m concerned.

absolutely wild story coming out of my hometown synagogue where a couple reportedly had sex in front of everyone on the shabbat zoom without realizing their camera was on. can anyone top this with a zoom all timer?

How about you back @JCisnerosTX before sending me your millionth txt asking me to sign your BS petition, @SpeakerPelosi? vanityfair.com/news/2022/05/i…

To be clear - the attack in my district in Buffalo was an act of terrorism on the Black community.

Gave her formula and breast fed her. She’s currently kicking ass and taking names at 3.5. I know plenty of loving parents who just gave formula and the reasons why they made that choice are nobody’s business. Do what you need to do to feed that baby.
