I’ve always kept it 💯 with the people of District 22.
They know what I’m about, and they gave me an overwhelming mandate to shift our budgetary priorities away from cops and cages, toward care and community.
The FY23 budget does not do that.

BREAKING: Kendra and Hallie were just arrested outside the house of Biden's DHS Secretary Ali Mayorkas (more info above in the thread).
The Biden administration promised to cancel ALL of Trump's ICE contracts. So far, they've canceled 1 out of 116.
Unacceptable. We'll be back.

Community & family members of those detained by ICE are taking the streets of Hackensack, NJ to demand freedom for their loved ones. BCJ was the last jail to hold an ICE contract in NJ. #ICEOutOfNJ #FueraMigra

Programs that are offered within NYS jails are constructed and geared toward the majority of the incarcerated population: men. This leads back to the trend of women going unheard/ disregarded when it comes to their needs and desires when it comes to the criminal justice systems.

As officers alternately smirk or turn away behind him on the warming pavement, @DisuSami explains why he's chained up in protest of ICE outside Hudson County Correc.
"I'm really at the edge of my patience with the Biden administration."

Activists blockaded Hudson County Jail Saturday morning to demand ICE release the people detained in the facility, and not transfer them out of state, as the jail's ICE contract ends in November. [Thread]

Sincere questions of journalists/reporters/fact checkers:
1. Would you rely for a story or the premise of a story on any source who has been exposed for lying in the past? Including to other journalists?
2. Why then do you continue to rely on police as sources?

🧵 I want to share more about what I witnessed at Rikers Island yesterday. We broke into groups to inspect different parts of the sprawling facility. I spent several hours at the Otis Bantum Correctional Center.
