How does the saying go? I'm (...slowly?) moving to the butterfly app. To post some skeets. And lead the charge in finding a word other than skeet. Same @. Same rants. See you there?

But no further investigation? If AM Gibbs feels comfortable speaking like this on the Assembly floor to his colleagues, what does he feel comfortable saying behind closed doors, perhaps to staffers? This shouldn't be the end of the investigation.
The Assembly Ethics Committee investigated Assemblyman @EddieGibbsNY for "sexually explicit remarks on the Assembly floor." Speaker Heastie directs him to get counseling within 90 days. The remarks are not revealed, but here is a possibility from the May 28 session.

Never get between the Democratic Party and an opportunity to squander every single moral (or strategic) advantage in exchange for bupkis!

New Yorkers' election tomorrow marks the near end of a long mayoral race that’s been plagued by candidates with histories of sexual misconduct. Find out more about who is fighting back in the latest issue of Worked Up on Substack. cc: @EricaForNY

“And I know, because I wrote the sexual harassment laws in New York State. My blood, sweat and tears, not yours.” Um, pretty sure Harassment-Free NY and NELA NY were the ones to write the laws Cuomo signed and then violated but sure, Melissa, you take the credit.
At an event on Oct. 1, Melissa DeRosa lashed out at a Cornell student who asked about Cuomo's harassment allegations: “Watch yourself when you say things like that in public or if you want to be taken seriously.” Atticus Johnson from @cornellsun reports

A reminder that Lis helped orchestrate the massive smear campaign against the women Cuomo sexually harassed. Lis never apologized for it. She just made excuses. Don’t fall for her attempt to pump her image by taking a picture with our future mayor.
A funny thing happened on my way down 7th Avenue… So excited to call him Mayor-elect in just 8 days.

Also: sexual harassment is governed by civil law. (Which Cuomo knows, because he signed multiple bills changing civil law around sexual harassment that Harassment-Free NY led the way on.) Read more from a fave of mine:
Andrew Cuomo was found by the attorney general and department of justice to have violated the laws of our state and country, and he continues to torture the women he harassed in litigation he is still involved in.

Cuomo hanging out with a man accused of sexual assault by multiple women, and another man accused of emotionally abusing his girlfriend? I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!
Great to join @LoganPaul and @mikemajlak for a wide-ranging 90 minute conversation on @impaulsive — episode to drop on 10/21

Disgraceful. The Chair of the Democratic Party refusing to support the candidate clearly selected by the voters of the Democratic Party. If he won’t perform that most basic responsibility of a party leader, what exactly is he doing over there?
Jay Jacobs, the chairman of the NY Democratic Party, is publicly breaking with Gov Kathy Hochul over the NYC mayor's race. Jacobs says he will not endorse Mamdani, saying he "strongly" disagrees with his views on Israel/opposes the DSA platform. He also defends Mamdani a little

Here's the thing: Jay doesn't get to decide who represents the Democratic Party and who doesn't. That's (supposedly) up to the State Committee that he oversees. Maybe he should gather NYC Committee members & let us weigh in...but that's too Democratic for Jay.

Thousands died in nursing homes at the outset of the pandemic. Will a campaign for accountability stall Andrew Cuomo’s progress in the mayor’s race?

If Cuomo wants Zohran to give up his apartment, he should repay the $20M in taxpayer funds spent on his legal warfare against the women he sexually harassed. Imagine how many single moms could benefit from that $20M!

Findings. Sexual misconduct *findings* There was a full investigation that found he sexually harassed his staff.
The man pictured in the audience holding a mic presumably to ask the mayor a question is Andy King, the ex-City Council member who was expelled from the chamber in 2020 amid sexual and financial misconduct accusations.

Similar to Charlotte, Brittany’s settlement bans her from working in the Gov’s office (until 2030). This is solely a victim-blaming requirement & should never be allowed. Harassment-Free NY has a bill to ban “blackball clauses,” and we’ll work hard to get it passed next year.

I'm not gonna re-post his dumb video, but here's your reminder that Andrew Cuomo is a serial sexual harasser (as found by 3 separate investigations) who surrounds himself with similarly corrupt people willing to retaliate against others on his behalf. NYC deserves better.

Recent reports indicate that the executive chamber's worker protections and accountability protocols have significant gaps that need to be addressed. Mr. Small’s resignation should not close the book on transparently rectifying these deficiencies.
UPDATE: Avi Small, Gov. Kathy Hochul's press secretary, resigned today. He had been placed on leave last week and was being investigated after another aide accused him of inappropriate touching.

Any investigation of workplace sexual harassment must not only be thorough, speedy & independent—it must also be survivor centered. Knowing how others who have come forward were treated in the past, I hope the person who made the complaint gets the support & guidance they deserve
