Jerry Ratcliffe@Jerry_Ratcliffe·
I’ve now been in Philadelphia for 20 years. When I arrived John Timoney was police commissioner, Jim Fyfe & Joan McCord were in my department, and Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook were playing at Veterans Stadium. Here’s some of what I’ve learned with my colleagues since then:

Prime Minister @JacindaArdern has guided New Zealand through crises and seized opportunities by leading with foresight, integrity and empathy. Her country is better off because of her remarkable leadership—and the rest of us are too.

#PrimeMinister @jacindaardern resigned today. I am not surprised nor do I blame her. Her treatment, the pile on, in the last few months has been disgraceful and embarrassing. All the bullies, the misogynists, the aggrieved. She deserved so much better. A great leader. Thanks PM!

Surreal to be leaving @PhiladelphiaGov after nearly 7 years. I’m proud of what we accomplished, and prouder still to hand the keys to my friend @christpasta.

PASSED! The Senate Democratic majority advanced the Inflation Reduction Act: making billionaire corporations pay a minimum tax to fund historic investments in clean energy and lower costs. Every Senate Republican sided with corporate special interests and against this bill.

🚨🚨🚨 Last night, the PA Senate waived their rule about voting after 11pm. What they did next is outrageous and you may find it hard to believe. A thread 🧵 /1

He was known as the smallest yet bravest person in the family and it’s in his honor that we named our son Diomede. Here’s hoping that our Dio is just as brave in the face of life ahead.

Happy Canada Day. Thinking of my wife’s great uncle Diomede Bérubé, the youngest and shortest of her dad’s uncles. Born to French Canadians in the maritime provinces, he volunteered for Canada in WWII and died 78 years ago at the battle of Normandy. veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembranc…

@Jerry_Ratcliffe The greatest immediate impact to reduce GunViolence will come from the changes policy decisions to hold accountable those that carry guns illegally and the improved prosecution of all gun violence.

Remember Philadelphia, gun possession prosecutions (VUFAs) dropped from 65% in 2015 to 36% last year. These are policy choices.

New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern says she spoke with Biden about gun reforms in the country prompted by the Christchurch mass shooting. "The New Zealand public had an expectation that if we knew what the problem was, that we do something about it," she said trib.al/J5COgmI

Asked why New Zealand does not suffer from the rage of older white men like in other western Anglo countries, PM Jacinda Adern replied, "Because we've never allowed Rupert Murdoch to set up a media outlet here." The guy has wreaked havoc on civil society in US.
