Love Fred Rogers forever, but this never sat right with me:
Puppet Lady Elaine Fairchilde from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. She has an asymmetrical face; blood-red cheeks and nose; white, perpetually raised eyebrows; short auburn hair that looks like it was cut by a toddler; a strangely smirking mouth; cool, lifeless eyes; and stubby little arms drowning in a homemade sweater, with her fingers permanently outstretched.

The main lesson to draw from RBH's latest ploy is not how [pejorative] she is. It's to grasp that this type of role—executive committee chair of a Dem county committee—has enough real power to be WORTH desperately trying to hold onto. It's proof that @newkingsdems.bsky.social's struggle matters.

Not-so-fun-fact: The party only started allowing nonbinary people to run for County Committee seats after @derekinnyc.bsky.social and a few others sued them over it, and the party's leadership immediately exploited the rules change to try to illegally pack the committee with loyalists 🙃

I was at that County Committee meeting and can confirm that no rules amendments were properly noticed, presented, or voted on. Any attempt by Rodneyse and Co. to say otherwise is just false, and I'm confident that the courts will agree.

It is time for this absurdity to end. The election took place in June. The attempts to overturn it have run their course and the legal matters are settled. Every statewide and national elected official who has weighed in has called on the outgoing chair to respect the results.

"The court has spoken, Brooklyn's elected leaders have spoken, and most importantly, the voters have spoken." Thank you to @zellnor.bsky.social for this statement in support of a more open transparent, and democratic era for the Brooklyn Democratic Party under future Chair @juliopenabk.com!
@zellnormyrie on Instagram:

"Enough is enough. The court has spoken, Brooklyn's elected leaders have spoken, and most importantly, the voters have spoken- it's time for a renewed Brooklyn Democratic Party that's wholly focused on taking back our democracy and electing Democrats up and down the ballot this November.

"For years, under the old leadership, this was not the focus. The events of the last few weeks demonstrated that clearly but make no mistake, years of losing ground to Republicans, attacking incumbent Democrats, and bringing disrepute to the largest county in the state has taken its toll, and the time for fresh, democratically elected leadership is now.

"I was proud to support my returning District Leader Akel Wiliams when many fellow elected leaders in my district, including County, did not along with a coalition of leaders this past June who will move the party forward in partnership with every Democrat in the borough. I look forward to an open, transparent, and democratic process to elect the next leader of Brooklyn Democratic Party."

In the caption, he wrote, "It's time to turn the page in Brooklyn. @juliopenany for County Leader"

🎉A big win for democracy in Brooklyn: The appellate court has upheld the lower court's ruling that Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn's power grab is INVALID. District Leaders elected in THIS YEAR'S PRIMARY should now proceed (under the old rules) to elect a new chair.

The Brooklyn Can't Wait coalition’s goal is not just to unseat the current party chair, it is to build a party that listens to voters and fights Republicans. Changing the rules to override the voters, handpick a successor, and keep the same clique of insiders in control would takes us backwards.

Let us be clear: Brooklyn needs a fair vote by the elected District Leaders. The Chair attempting to pick her own successor after she lost an election isn’t democracy, it's cronyism, and the illegal rules changes she has fought to enact would permanently end democratic oversight of our party.
