This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

Friend shared a screenshot with an incredible update: Yesterday, Bichotte Hermelyn said she was working "hand in hand" with Jeffries. Today, Jeffries says he was "surprised" and DOESN'T support her plan to pack the Brooklyn Democratic Party's executive committee! (This is good - the plan is bad!)
Screenshot from X reading:

@AdamDalyNews
NEW: House Dem Leader Hakeem Jeffries does not support Bichotte Hermelyn’s plan to expand the Brooklyn Dem Party’s executive committee.

His spox says Jeffries was “surprised” by the proposal and has not spoken with her about the organizational meeting (she told NY1 otherwise)

which is a quote post of:

Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn (@AMBichotte) just announced on NY1 she's going to try to expand the BK Dems' executive committee from 42 members to 68 - a clear effort to pack the board to block reform pick @JulioPenaNY, who claims to have secured a 22-vote majority.

Brooklyn Can't Wait wasn't created to "overthrow" anyone. It united clubs around the District Leader Pledge which formalized a shared standard of transparency and accountability. That's what kept us together through disagreements on candidates and what prevents reform from becoming another machine.

Very happy to see Lander and Chevalier prevail, as well as Orkin, Huntley, and Tate in the Assembly, but the betrayal of Nydia and Antonio by Zohran is not gonna go down well.

Really disgusted that a lot of people I follow/respect are cheering on the DOJ's investigation of Poetica Coffee, which is an objectively good coffee shop whose owner made a dumb political statement that anyone with half a brain could tell you would be misconstrued as antisemitism.

AIPAC saying that its critics are discredited by receiving funding from George Soros is, unfortunately, the logical endpoint to the current discourse of "antisemitism and anti-Zionism are synonymous" espoused by the American right.

HUGE NEWS: ICE’s courthouse arrests have been STAYED by a New York district judge. That means that ICE will have to stop arresting our immigrant neighbors on the spot when they show up to court at places like 26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, and 201 Varick. (1/2)

George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.
