She was a lifelong community activist who began her career as an early-childhood teacher.
After serving as State Assemblywoman, then City Councilwoman, she became the first African American Queens borough president!
With the same passion since his debut in 1942, he played all around New York for seven decades, revolutionizing jazz music and drumming.
He made a lasting impact on generations of musicians.
It's your fucking bill. What the hell are you waiting for?
Wondering why you haven’t brought several news crews to the treasury department and demanded answers.
These EO's attempt to erase this history.
Please address it.

Otherwise, this is primo shit stirring. Which is somehow worse than silence and inaction.
Btw, fuck you, Chuck.
You seem to have no idea what is happening.
Do all day if so
Resign now.
DO SOMETHING.
A drug-addicted billionaire immigrant is RAIDING our systems ILLEGALLY and you're doing nothing to stop him.
You're as useful as wet toilet paper.
GET OFF YOUR GREEDY ASS AND HELP U.S.!!!
why the fuck not
I know how to reach this feckless twit elsewhere, and do.

Take the #protest outside with your friends and neighbors.
Form a local action collective. Take action.
Don't be a witness.
Get into #GoodTrouble
Speaking of government entities…WHAT IS ELON DOING AT THE TREASURY WITH ALL OUR INFO?!?! There’s not going to be an America to celebrate anything soon if y’all don’t stop this assinine approach!
Throw out your scripts and start meeting the moment — do your job that you were elected by the people to do.
If not stopped, they are coming for all DEMs in a different kind of purge.
The fact that you have no strategy is suicidal. But go on re BHM.
They are hacking and data mining our systems.
They do not have the clearance, their is no bill or appointment by a committee.
This is an illegal action or terrorism to cripple our government.
I think they need to be found.

This would be great if things were normal.
Things are not normal.
Please put your energy into convincing your Republican colleagues to help you STOP THIS COUP.
I think that would be a MUCH better use of your time and energy.
Republicans. Help. Stop. Coup.
There. I simplified it for you.

Start doing something to save Democracy.
Tuskegee Airmen in front of their P-40.
ARE YOU ALL COWARDS?
You need to resign - 10 years ago.
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social gets it. You don't.
@ocasio-cortez.house.gov gets it. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social does not get it.
Democrats are not meeting the moment and need to be louder.
You’re in the middle of a coup.
Let’s hope something is being done about it before they come for you. And then they come for us.
...that's Nazification.
Black people don't need you to remind them of their history and importance, they ALREADY know. STOP pandering 😡

I don't know this person, but I'm sorry.
@aoc.bsky.social
@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co
I’m begging you
please
Good thing the fascists purging federal employees (every dictator's Step 1!),breaking into the Treasury & scrubbing gov't websites are also taking the weekend off to relax at home and OH WAIT.
Speaking of Elon and Trump, got any ideas on how to stop the coup yet? Got any plans? Anything?
Maybe you've noticed. People are really angry. We're angry. Aren't you?
Right now, we need you to focus!! HOW ABOUT YOU IDIOTS WAKE THE HELL UP AND GO AFTER THE CRIMINALS IN THE OVAL OFFICE!!! “Enemies foreign and DOMESTIC” !!??!! Remember your oaths!!!!
Fuck Sake. Jesus dude
Trump has completely dissed LGBTQ, black & brown military members
Are you getting ready to write another 'strongly worded letter', Chuck?
Get your head out of your ass and DO SOMETHING
Do democrats not do that type of governing anymore?
You WERE the hunter. You will now be the hunted.
The Founders would have shot you long ago, Chuck. However, I'd be happy if Trump's DOJ could find ANY reason to throw your ass in prison.
Do something about this unlawful take over!
You will come to regret your inaction when you see America collapse & Americans suffering/dying & pretend you had done more.
Shame on all of you.
retire

Fewer slogans, more actions. Surely you have gained enough friends on the other side over your eons in office to have the stroke to save our democracy.
Right? Or have you just been farting around for decades?
The first step, please RESIGN and bring in people who understand how to communicate and engage us, and who are willing to fight for us.
But considering the wider panorama, do we have anything to celebrate, Senator?
Do we have a well thought out opposition plan? Do we have any plan?
FYI, dem voters are desperate for some Dem leadership. Do we have that to celebrate?
You're fucking failing, Chuck.
