@rbreich magats tell me he is implementing Sharia Law, amplifying the call to prayer throughout the city, promoting Islamic businesses, raising the cost of living even more, etc. etc.

Don’t know where they’re getting that information. I must be so uninformed!

@rbreich This is what I don't understand about Trump and the Techbros.
Actually making lives easier is not difficult. Especially if you have a lot of money or power. LOTS of people would be influenced to vote for someone who actually improved their quality of life. Someone who starts wars, cuts healthcare, targets innocent civilians, and raises gas prices? Less so.
@rbreich but he is the wrong color so i must hate him.
@rbreich it's almost like the establishment Democrats have been lying all along saying progressive policies were impossible!

@teruterubozu @rbreich

I come from a different time, 1940's. A time when Minimum Wage was Living Wage, when public school actually taught, when education was cheap enough to get a degree w/o debt, when everyone's civil rights were a priority, a time when "we the people" mattered. There has never been a reason not to have that, except certain people felt their ideas were better than everyone else's. The groups were Religion & Business. Thank the GOP. They brought fear into politics.

@rbreich and canceled a McKinsey contract!

@rbreich

Also started an initiative to build a couple thousand more public restrooms around the city. A seemingly mundane concern, but anyone who's walked NYC knows this a huge benefit for your average person, especially with congestion pricing encouraging more people to walk/bike and use public transit.

@rbreich It's still terribly revealing that a politician just genuinely wanting to do better was all it takes to make these changes happen.

Good things aren't out of reach, we're just not reaching for them. Learned helplessness on a national scale.

@rbreich Alternative text, also called alt text, would let blind readers also experience all of the images you post without any text at all.

@kevinrj @rbreich

Or just copy pasting the text, its him, the same bloody guy with no images. Poor internet having to move so many useless bytes!
