    I can't believe what I just witnessed & experienced. The force used on nonviolent protestors was disgusting. No looting/no fires.Chants of "peaceful protest" @NYPDnews was simply enforcing an ill advised curfew What happened was completely avoidable I'm so ashamed of @NYCMayor

    Considering that these protests are linked to policing, and communities who feel like there's no accountability for misconduct even when documented....these types of broad overarching comments may be the absolute worst that could be made at this time.

    Disturbed to see Black leaders back @MikeBloomberg— There’s a history of callous policies harming NYers of more color on housing, education & of course #SQF. As I said to @KatyTurNBC & @TheRevAl on @MSNBC, the revelations aren’t a surprise to all who know the Mayor’s work best.

    I hear the Mayor/Governor defending policing tactics and curfews, saying we need to protect property. Protecting property we understand. But where is the same energy, the same urgency, for protecting Black lives? #BlackLivesMatter #GeorgeFloydMemorial

    After months of great deliberation, I'm proud to once again announce my endorsement of Sen. @BernieSanders for President. Bernie is a voice for the people, not the political establishment. Join me in supporting him at berniesanders.com/volunteer #NotMeUs #ItsTimeLetsGo

    As the @NYCMayor just indicated, ICE has unsuccessfully started enforcement actions in Harlem & Sunset Park. I’m out with community organizers distributing #KnowYourRights materials.
