🧵 These measures are absolutely unnecessary. Georgia already has some of the most strict voting laws in the country. Besides, the laws we have in place WORKED brilliantly. There was absolutely no fraud outside of the minuscule norms. #gapol

Republicans adding onerous laws just to make themselves feel better and disenfranchise voters by making it more difficult to vote is unacceptable. It’s also massively hypocritical. Just like we always hear in the #gunrights arguments. 2/ #gapol
Why should I as a law abiding citizen be burdened by adding unnecessary restrictions to a process that is my Constitutionally protected right? Especially when the data do not back up the need for any new laws. A fact to which our state election officials would attest. 3/ #gapol
#JimCrow Why anyone would choose to make it more difficult to vote is beyond me. I should point out that the current restrictive voting laws were put in place by the @GaRepublicans, including no excuse #absenteeballots. 4/
State election officials crowed about how 1.3 million Georgians who voted from home during the coronavirus pandemic, and they should. They did a fine job. But now, simply because the party took losses due to a lack of their voters turning out (their own fault) ... 5/ #gapol
And Dems voted in record numbers, they want to change the rules. How #pathetic. @GaRepublicans seek to eliminate no-excuse #absentee voting, ballot drop boxes and unsolicited #absenteeballot application mailings making it more difficult to vote. 6/ #gapol
Apparently the @GOP believe they can’t win otherwise. What happened to the competitive marketplace of ideas? I guess that only matters when the table is tilted in your favor, just like with the out of control #gerrymandering that creates “safe” seats. #hypocrisy #rigged #gapol 7/
I call on my fellow Georgians to reach out to your state representative and let them know you are against this #JimCrow adjacent attempt to disenfranchise millions of voters across the state. The 2020 election was an example of smart process executed by principled government. 8/
A success story that was widely praised, & rightly so. Don’t take a step back simply bc of blatant #partisan politics. I implore you to find that same character & principle that guided you through the 2020 election once again. @GabrielSterling @GaSecofState #gapol 9/
Don’t be weak. Stand for the free & open marketplace of ideas & may the best ideas win, whosever they are. Do what’s right for #Georgia voters by fighting to increase access to the ballot. 10/ @GabrielSterling @GaSecofState @fairfightaction @GeorgiaDemocrat @GaRepublicans #gapol

We’ve been getting calls and outreach from Queens residents all day about this.

The community’s response? Outrage.


Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here.

When we talk about bringing jobs to the community, we need to dig deep:
- Has the company promised to hire in the existing community?
- What’s the quality of jobs + how many are promised? Are these jobs low-wage or high wage? Are there benefits? Can people collectively bargain?

Displacement is not community development. Investing in luxury condos is not the same thing as investing in people and families.

Shuffling working class people out of a community does not improve their quality of life.

We need to focus on good healthcare, living wages, affordable rent. Corporations that offer none of those things should be met w/ skepticism.

It’s possible to establish economic partnerships w/ real opportunities for working families, instead of a race-to-the-bottom competition.
