It’s clear now that there wasn't a “billion dollar cut” to the NYPD. Even more, we have yet to engage in reimagining what public safety truly means.
What it's not is a city saying we can't hire any new doctors, teachers, social workers, nurses, counselors — only more police.

NYPD was trying to clear the street to make an arrest. Aggressively.
Officers then appeared to begin setting up for mass arrests— we intervened to try and de-escalate and prevent that.

As we near the final budget vote, it has become clear that this budget ignores some of the most critical elements of reducing NYPD funding and redefining public safety.
Unless it meets those needs, I will use my Charter authority to prevent the budget from being executed.

there was a doorway right there, and a woman selling Churros who could've been persuaded to just leave w/out a fine or arrest.
Those who would disagree, I sincerely ask why.
Tonight as I was leaving Broadway Junction, I saw three or four police officers (one of them was either a plainclothes cop or someone who worked at the station) gathered around a crying woman and her churro cart. Apparently, it's illegal to sell food inside train stations. 1/?

All I'm saying is:
What if
@NYCMayor
@NYGovCuomo
even horrific 45 took half the energy of being swift, bold & forceful to put down the protests..
..to develop/articulate plans to address the justified anger & pain that caused it

This family that has endured so much tragedy and devastation...
My prayers, my empathy, my wishes for peace and comfort go out to Gwen Carr and the rest of her family in this incredibly difficult time of loss.

I attended the wake of a 1 y/o killed by a bullet
I could barely look at the tiny coffin or listen to the children's music. Kept thinking of the horror it felt to just be there
Then I saw his dad...mom...& grandma
My G-D we owe them more than rhetoric

I‘m glad that
#JazmineHeadley
is being released, but this incident should never have occurred-
It’s the result of criminalizing the poor & the
@NYCMayor
creating an environment where officers aren’t held accountable.
I won’t let victims be villainized

I dont' know the intent of Daniel Peele when he choked
#JordanNeely
to death, nor all that happened before the video began
I do know that if a Black, homeless man choked a white marine to death because he was scared, he'd be sitting in Rikers unable to pay the bail set for him
The Rev. Al Sharpton, in a fiery address, demanded criminal charges against all involved in the choke-hold death of Jordan Neely.
“If you do not prosecute ... you will set a standard of vigilantism that we cannot tolerate.”

NYC schools should go remote starting Mon (should've been last week)
A no-brainer as we near recess
@NYCMayor
ends term proving he's still willing to take needless risks & hasn't learned enough lessons
@GovKathyHochul
should seriously consider the same

#IAmNotOkay
We cannot be okay.
These charges say that while
#BreonnaTaylor
was killed, there was no killer & will be no real consequences. This decision ignores her death & disrespects her life.
I’m not okay with that, not until true justice or new system that can achieve it.

Here at the Metropolitan Detention Center, and what I’ve seen is obscene and unconscionable.
The building is still without heat. This is an issue of human rights abuse, and people are paying the price for this massive and inexcusable failure.

Iowa results may still be pending, but our work in New York to bring bold progressive change isn't.
I'm proud of
@NYPANetwork
& the countless advocates who secured a historic 65,000 petition signatures to place
@BernieSanders
on the NY presidential primary ballot.

As I told
@TheBlackCaucus
at the Capitol today, one of the reasons that transformational change in policing is so difficult is because we aren’t try to reform a system —
The system is working how it was designed.
We need to uproot that system and put a new one in its place.
