She spent 3 YEARS on Rikers Island awaiting trial because she couldn't post bail. 3yrs later she was released, never convicted of any crime. Rikers was torture, where she spent months in solitary confinement. This is why we must protect Bail Reform.

I wish @NYGovCuomo would stand up for NY's public school students the way he advocates for NY's Millionaires & Billionaires. Hey Gov. 1%, who do you represent? Cuomo looks out for his campaign donors, while denying children access to funding for their schools. #NYBudget

.⁦ @NYGovCuomo ⁩ says the loss of state and local tax deductions are disproportionately harming highest income earning New Yorkers. Says higher taxes would be a disaster, but doesn’t see tax relief as a help either, because that would mean loss of needed revenue.

So tired of Democrats claiming @BernieSanders is too radical. ✅ Healthcare for all ✅ Free college ✅ Taxing billionaires These are not radical ideas, it's justice! We should of done these ages ago.

😤 @GovKathyHochul this is a bad proposal & will siphon millions of $$ out of NYC DOE which educates 80%+ of NYC children. NY students need @AndreaSCousins & @CarlHeastie to reject this proposal and maintain the cap on charters in NYC.

NYC charter schools are struggling to meet their enrollment targets, yet @GovKathyHochul wants to increase charter schools in NYC. 👀 WHY?!? @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins Don't raise the cap. Don't reauthorize failed, "zombie" charters.

Why does it sound like Cuomo is giving a state of the state speech instead of a resignation speech? Boy Bye!

Tell @NYGovCuomo to read his emails & check his voice mail. Parents, educators & community memebers have been calling for him to fully fund the $4 bil in Foundation Aid owed to our schools. #GovernorAndrewCuomo has been the biggest obstacle to edu equity. #FundNYschools

. @GovKathyHochul has decided to exclude undocumented New Yorkers from most if not all parts of this budget. She toured my community after Hurricane Ida and she said she'd take care of our people. Excluding children from childcare? This is not leadership. It is unconscionable.

What do @GovKathyHochul & @GregAbbott_TX have in common? Both lead states where you can buy an AR-15 at 18. There's work to do at every level of government, all across this country to help make our communities safer.
