@RCNConnects you raised my bill $50 this month. I've been on hold for 20 minutes after the person I was speaking with on the phone said she'd be back with solutions in 2-3 minutes. This is unacceptable. Starting to look into other companies to source my internet from.

“And in so acknowledging, we go forward with the will of those who came before, and those who have never stopped putting one foot in front of another, to some finer tomorrow, distant but always possible.”
Roe and Casey have been overturned, and things are only going to get worse from here. But despair is poison, and it's never been an option. @rtraister writes nym.ag/39PJd0H
Thrilled to be part of this group representing @MannyCantorNYC @EdAlliance, and helping to GOTV and educate about #rankedchoicevoting as we head into city elections!
Today we launched our 2021 Settlement House Get Out The Vote Campaign! Settlement houses are getting ready to mobilize their neighborhoods to go to the polls in the June City primary and November general election, and educate people about #RankedChoiceVoting. #civicsettlements

My vote for mayor is very much up for grabs, but like who goes into a deli to order a bagel in NYC?! We have designated bagel shops.
Fav deli order? Everyone says bagel (@AndrewYang only one to say toasted) except for @scottmstringer who says matzoh ball soup and pastrami on rye.
This this this!! Whatever money you'd spend on the donations, just give it directly to the food banks and pantries. They know what they need, and also get better prices on foods than you do, plus many other reasons.
It’s that time of year again when I remind people that donating even $5 to food banks and pantries is better than saddling them with all your unwanted canned foods.

Upper middle class is a fake thing that just means you're wealthy!
Biden defines $400,000 a year as 'wealthy.' In big cities, it only makes you upper middle class cnb.cx/36Dw06U

Put two stamps on your absentee ballots NY! Assuming the absentee ballot you get isn’t for a person that isn’t you. I mean...🤯🤯🤯
So FYI to all folks mailing ballots. One forever stamp is not enough! My constituent just went to mail hers and it was over the 1oz weight limit and needed extra postage. Without extra postage it won’t be delivered. 😑 #VoterSuppression

My memory of post 9/11 life is being lied into a war & ppl who are Muslim being targets of racist attacks. Similarly we cannot write about the collective action of ppl now (which is inspiring) w/o also talking about how this is happening because our govt & systems are failing us.

“What I hope for is that this rising generation learns to appreciate just how deeply connected we are to each other, just how valuable it is to invest in public goods, and how precious and important shared experiences in public spaces are” nytimes.com/2020/03/16/opini…
Anyone waiting for Mitch McConnell to do the right thing hasn't been paying attention.
McConnell is sending the Senate out of town without taking steps to help Americans survive social distancing and/or quarantine.
Just in case you thought stealing a Supreme Court seat and blocking a bipartisan response to an attack on our elections were the worst he could do.
