Mo Khan just went on a white supremacist’s X show to plead his innocence over the “Fuck The Jews” sign. At this point, it’s not about Portnoy. It’s about who Mo Khan really is. This isn’t edgy. It’s not funny. It’s antisemitic. It’s ugly. This can’t be accepted in Philadelphia.

Tomorrow Philadelphia City Council will vote to ban the wearing of ski masks in certain public places. The bill will allow police to stop and fine people $250 for wearing ski masks. Another step in the right direction of safety and changing the culture on the streets of Philly.
Ski masks need to be banned in Philadelphia. They needed to be banned yesterday. What are you waiting for City Council?. Enough is enough.

To be clear, the new 76ers arena would be replacing a failing mall along with a closed bus station. No other buildings will be demolished. It would be on MARKET ST from 10th to 11th. On top of Jefferson Train Station. Market St from 7th to 11th is a dead zone. It shouldn’t be.

How is the car meetup able to happen outside of Philadelphia City Hall?. How were the Police caught flat footed on this?. Regardless, this was all caught on camera. Confiscate the cars. Publicize the arrests. Because it most likely was people not from Philly who are involved…

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has failed the residents of Philadelphia. The DA’s Office under Krasner is inexperienced and unable to prosecute crimes. It has hit a breaking point. That is why there is a Septa special prosecutor and Act 40.

Where was Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner today? 🤷♂️. Why didn’t he have a press conference telling potential looters/protestors to FAFO? 🤷♂️. But FAFO… Time to vote him out. Enough is enough. Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner has to go in 2025.

Philadelphia has endured 7 years of District Attorney Larry Krasner. The Democratic Primary for Philadelphia DA is in May 2025. Larry Krasner cannot be the DA for another 4 years. Then who? 🤷♂️. Today, former Philadelphia Judge Patrick Dugan is announcing he is running for DA.

Just a reminder that Darrell Clarke and Philadelphia City Council held a press conference bragging about installing 100 cameras around 15 schools for $1,800,000. $18,000 per camera. NYC just announced they will be installing 6,455 cameras for $5,500,000. $852 per camera. 🤷♂️.

5 days. Retail theft has devastated Philadelphia. Store after store closed. Jobs lost. Neighborhoods hurt. Why?. Because for 7 years, DA Larry Krasner refused to prosecute theft under $500. That’s not reform. That’s failure. Philly needs change. Vote May 20th.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is the only one left of the 2023 “Leaders” of Philadelphia. Elections matter. In 139 days, Philadelphia will have the opportunity to finally get rid of DA Krasner. Philadelphia can’t afford 4 more years of DA Krasner. Vote.
The “Leaders” of Philadelphia…. Mayor Kenney, Police Commissioner Outlaw, and District Attorney Larry Krasner. The news media just reports the facts when it comes to the 516 murders in 2022 in Philadelphia…. Except where is the reporting on the 116 “S” and 76 “O” for 2022?

It looks like SEPTA will not be getting additional funding this year. What does that mean?. - Fare increases and service cuts starting in January. Who is to blame?. - Everybody in Harrisburg. Both PA Dems and PA Reps. Both in the House and Senate. Oh and the casino lobby. 🤷♂️🤷♂️.

SEPTA is crucial to Philadelphia. At midnight SEPTA is going on strike. What does that mean?. No buses, trolleys, BSL, MFL. Who will it affect?. Thousands of Philadelphia residents and students who rely on it. Who won’t it affect? . Every member of Philadelphia City Council 🤷♂️.

Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner is out here trying to use “f*** around and find out” as a campaign slogan… when all he’s done for the past 7 years is not prosecute crime. The arrogance is unreal. Krasner has to go. Time for change. Vote on May 20, 2025.

Let’s be clear, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney is one of the worst Mayors of Philadelphia. Kenney is a weak human who was only Mayor because of Johnny Doc and gave up when he went down. Philly is lucky there is only 15 more days of Kenney. Could he have been any worse?.

Philly should be pushing residents to use public transportation. Except City Council doesn’t use it; so they don’t realize how bad the rider experience is. Maybe each member should ride Septa to City Hall this week before summer vacation? In-person City Council meeting Thursday?.

Did you know that every member of Philadelphia City Council gets a private vehicle from the city?. City Council should make a commitment to ride public transportation once a week. What better way to see what SEPTA riders have to deal with on a daily basis?. RIDE THE RIDE.

Philadelphia doesn’t like 3-peats…. Philadelphia can’t afford to have a 3rd term and 4 more years of District Attorney Larry Krasner. Former President Judge Pat Dugan is running against Krasner. A decorated veteran, Judge Dugan is now ready to serve Philadelphia as DA.

Philadelphia City Councilmember Jay Young doesn’t think that anybody from “his community” takes SEPTA down to 76ers games… 🤔🤯. There are multiple Broad Street Line stops in his district. No way, right?. But this is what a Philadelphia City Councilmember thinks about SEPTA 🤷♂️
Day 2 of testimony… and more Q’s on… SEPTA!. To be clear, the current issues facing Septa are not the Sixers problem. BUT the Sixers are committed to paying for any capital costs to Jefferson Station from the arena. The Sixers shouldn’t have to subsidize SEPTA’s operations.
44
24
267
Philadelphia City Council should take Septa and/or bike to City Hall for the rest of 2022. How else will they get a true understanding of the quality of life issues the residents of Philadelphia face everyday and how to improve the public transportation infrastructure?.
23
37
257
On days like today… it is clear that Philadelphia should focus on making Center City more enjoyable for pedestrians who are walking and less convenient for cars who are driving. If you build the environment… they will come. Time to make this a priority for 2025 & 2026.

"It is not being built in Chinatown and I need you to be absolutely clear. It is adjacent to Chinatown. It is near Chinatown. But it is not being built in Chinatown.". Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker tonight at her press conference. In case people are more visual ⬇️⬇️.
To be clear, the new 76ers arena would be replacing a failing mall along with a closed bus station. No other buildings will be demolished. It would be on MARKET ST from 10th to 11th. On top of Jefferson Train Station. Market St from 7th to 11th is a dead zone. It shouldn’t be.

What occurred yesterday outside of Philadelphia City Hall is completely unacceptable. But the real question is why do 14 year olds have access to/need guns. That is a failure on every level of society. Philadelphia needs to continue to invest in supporting young Black men.

Philadelphia cannot afford to have another 4 years of District Attorney Larry Krasner. Glad to see somebody who is a well respected lawyer in Philadelphia consider running against Krasner. The Philadelphia DA primary is April 23, 2025… 154 days. Anybody but Krasner, right?

SEPTA didn’t get funded. Fares will increase on January 1, 2025. This falls on the PA Senators and PA House of Representatives along with Governor Shapiro. Time to bring everybody to the table and get SEPTA funded. It is crucial to PA and Philadelphia.

2025 has to be the year that Philadelphia gets rid of District Attorney Larry Krasner & Sheriff Rochelle Bilal. Both are a detriment to Philadelphia. Time to disband the Sheriff’s Office. Put it on ballot. DA Krasner is on the ballot in May 2025. He needs to be elected out.

Philadelphia City Council SEPTA Challenge: ride Septa every Thursday. 9/12: 0/17. Yesterday at CC I asked who rode Septa to City Hall… nobody on City Council raised their hand… in the last month… CM Gauthier and CM O'Rourke hands went up. Time to ride the ride to City Hall.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner refused to talk to & work with former Police Commissioner Outlaw and Mayor Kenney… in the middle of the worst gun epidemic EVER. It is insane to think that DA Krasner should be allowed to serve for another 4 years. Vote May 20th.

Just your daily reminder that City Council has not met in person since 2020… and is currently on a 3 month summer vacation…. Meanwhile Philadelphia is facing its deadliest summer/year. 337 Homicides. Up 4% from 2021, 30% from 2020, and 70% from 2019. Something has to change.

The City of Philadelphia is fortunate that the Sixers want to invest $1.6 Billion to build a new arena on Market St without using any Philadelphia taxpayer dollars. It would replace failing Fashion District on Market St from 10th to 11th St. This is real unlike other proposals.

🚨🤔🚨. How much Police Overtime was spent on the Harris rally and paid for by Philadelphia taxpayers?. $1,597,784. But the Harris campaign is going to reimburse the City, right? . Nope. Now the question is what are the other expenses that the City did submit for reimbursement?.
How much did the Harris rally in Philadelphia on Monday night cost to put on? . Who paid for it? Harris campaign? City of Philadelphia? . How much additional money did the City of Philadelphia spend on the rally/Monday which they won’t get reimbursed for?. 🤔🤔🤔

The area in front of the Art Museum is dangerous. The little piece of land is too small in the middle when crossing. Cars can’t be allowed to stop in the drive lane in front of steps. The current set up doesn’t work. This should be addressed ASAP… for everybody’s benefit.

In 2024… Philadelphia City Council should give up their government issued vehicles. Take public transportation to see the delays/issues & why people don’t feel safe. Walk to see QOL issues & why people don’t feel safe. Ride a bike to see why people don’t feel safe.

Walked around Center City/Rittenhouse last night at 11:30pm…. What did I see? . A thriving City. People walking around to/from bars and restaurants. People walking their dogs in Rittenhouse Park. Police making sure everyone was safe. Why? . Housing density. Let builders build.

The Philadelphia District Attorney’s election is in May 2025. It is the next step in making sure that Philadelphia continues on the right path forward. Philadelphia can’t afford to have 4 more years of District Attorney Larry Krasner. Make sure your voice is heard. Vote.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner giving out ARD to Leonard Hill is interesting. Is ARD now for everybody who fires a gun outside of a cigar lounge in Center City, injures someone, flees, changes clothes, & then returns?. Or only the guy who has billboards on I-95? 🤷♂️
Has anyone ever seen ARD for a shooting with injuries case? Or is this lawyer just getting preferential treatment?

Carjackings are out of control in Philadelphia. Your car is not worth your life. There needs to be harsher consequences for individuals committing crimes in Philadelphia. District Attorney Larry Krasner needs to call out the judges who are giving lenient sentences.

When was the last time anybody from Philadelphia City Council rode the MFL or BSL to City Hall for their weekly Thursday meeting?. The MFL and BSL would drop them off right at City Hall. Every member of Philadelphia City Council should ride Septa on Thursdays and stop using.

Philadelphia has allowed Kensington to become an open drug market. The Next Philly Mayor needs to make cleaning it up a priority. Use all resources, local, state, federal. But nobody who is a Philadelphia resident should have to live in it/walk through that to get to MFL.

What a horrible thing to say about residents in Philadelphia who rent. This is a former Philadelphia City Council member who prevented 100 plus units from being built on a lot that needed a zoning variance. Unfortunately this is way too common in Philadelphia & needs to change.
@Johnbrown1860 The neighbors would say yes. The lot is better than a 100 plus unit building of renters who don’t always treat long term and older residents well.
