- Mask bans threaten the lives of immunocompromised people, including people living with HIV. We will not allow our communities to be put at risk for the sake of political theater.100! Corona, which I represent was the epicenter of the epicenter of COVID-19.

- “Disrespectful”? Really, @NYCMayor? Cutting social services that vulnerable New Yorkers rely on is disrespectful. Misspending our budget on unlimited NYPD overtime while forcing libraries to slash their hours is disrespectful.New Yorkers confronted @NYCMayor about his budget cuts: why is he cutting ~8% from schools, CUNY, libraries, & social services, while funding NYPD overtime, misconduct, & robot dogs, & Dept. of Corrections abuse & mismanagement? Eric lied & called us disrespectful. #CareNotCuts
