Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

"If you're not paying for the product, then you are the product"

If A.I. was that amazing they would be charging you for it. Instead they're giving it away for free cuz you are the product and they are charging companies for access to you and all of the information that A.I. is gathering about you.

Ugh. That’s the annoying thing about debates.

“Tell us about your evolution on this subject”

and then 15 seconds in “ok thank you…we need to move on…we have other ground to cover”.

Always in the subways. Always down there. Been down there since the 90s.

Also, we don’t need the Q train.

My favorite armchair comment is Americans don‘t understand authoritarianism, because so many of you don’t count Black people as Americans. Learn the history or shut up.

My sister died suddenly. Her funeral is Monday. We just got 4 of her 7 kids — they came with nothing. I’m turning my garage and my dad’s basement into a home while grieving and planning 2 funerals.

This is survival. If you feel it, please help. Even a share matters.

Venus Williams just won her first match in two years and at the end when they were interviewing her about what a miracle it was, she said she had to come back and play a match; they told her she was on cobra and she’s always at the doctor so **she needs the health insurance**
Venus Williams literally a millionaire working for healthcare coverage

I want to be clear: this is what American prisons are like.

I spent years posting about the humanitarian crisis in U.S. prisons. The criminal legal system consigns Americans who are incarcerated to live like this FOR YEARS. DECADES.
They held him like this for 100 days.

I would guess that 17 year olds in Uganda and South Africa could probably tell you about as much about the nuances of US demographic categorizations as 17 year olds in the US could tell you about social categories in Uganda or South Africa and it's weird that people apparently think otherwise

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

As we head to Election Day, for folks who voted early, thank you. I know some folks have not yet made up their minds. I am making an appeal to you.

Please do not rank Cuomo. I have worked with every single one of the candidates for mayor. I will tell you he does not like us.

Young New Yorkers of every class, race and gender. This is truly your time. Come out tomorrow like you never have before and you'll have a much better shot of a future in this city if it's not run by Cuomo. You are needed to counter what Gen X and older are going to do.
