This is Donald Trump’s worst nightmare. Our black job is to build the

So
@PhillyInquirer
we have to have a conversation. You cheesesteak bracket has Geno's vs Pat's in the first round, forcing me to choose one of those tourist traps to move on to round two. That is both offensive and unacceptable. I would like to speak to the seeding committee.
As terrifying as last night’s mass shooting on South Street is/was it is not lost on me that far too many of our residents feel that terror everyday. According to public data (as of Thurs) there have been 926 shootings and 211 homicides in 2022. When will enough really be enough?
When
@RebeccaRhynhart
first talked about running for mayor. We committed to running a positive campaign with integrity and hope bc that is what PHL deserved. We did that and I am
incredibly proud of our incredible team and volunteers propelled us forward.
Some people have called for needing a “Frank Rizzo” type to bring down our homicides. Fun fact under Goode, Rendell, Street, Nutter and Kenney there were multiple years that our homicide totals were lower than Rizzo’s lowest year. But

Why? Because we all exist in the context of all in which we live and what has been which to be clear has been winning in PA.
There are a whole lot of people who don’t care about pedestrian safety in Philadelphia and even mocked it who are going to be suddenly all thoughts and prayers but no solutions.

A shooting in front of a YMCA and an elementary school. In broad daylight. No ski masks, before any set curfew. We need real solutions not carceral policies that criminalize our youth and don’t solve the root causes of this epidemic.
This is the 25th Mother’s Day without my mom and in many ways it pain is still just as raw. I am grateful to the amazing women who helped raise me and made me who I am 2day. Try to remember that for some people 2day is an incredibly painful day, give them grace, patience and love
Perhaps if more fathers, like Coach and soon to be VP Walz, raised their boys to be men who show emotion we would have fewer wanna be dictators who complain about crowd size and lie every time they open their mouths.
So many campaigns this cycle are utilizing volunteers and staff to canvass across this city. My heart breaks for the families, organizers, campaigns and organizations touched by this tragedy. This incident is not a political football no matter how toxic this site has become.

and the entire slate.
Last night Jeff Brown referred to a former employee, who the inquirer reported left a dead end job at ShopRite, as a friend who had criminal record. The article does not say she had a criminal record. Yet, Jeff announced it to protect his image. This is incredibly dangerous
I was honored to have Khalif as a friend and more importantly a brother. He tirelessly took to the streets to do everything he could to save his community and our city from gun violence. Job Well Done my Brother. Rest in Power.
It is with a heavy heart I announce the unexpected passing of my cherished friend and advisor - Khalif Ali.
Khalif was a tireless advocate, whose organization — the Beloved Care Project, was at the forefront of addressing the gun violence across the city.
Having lived and breathed this election I am here to tell you that your hot or spicy take is wrong and also not hot or spicy at all. One candidate not running would have completely changed the dynamic of the race. Who stayed in, who surged, who got attacked and when.
The Trump campaign and their cronies (ahem
@ByronDonalds
) say the quiet part out loud. Their extreme agenda wants to take us back but we won’t let them. This November everything is on the line and we understand the assignment.
Working with Judge Lane was awe inspiring. She stay true to herself even when some Dems said her race was a liability. Well this amazing strong black woman from West Philly is going to make us all damn proud on the Superior Court. Someone cue up started from the bottom.
It is a great honor to have earned your support in this election and trust in me to serve you as a Superior Court Judge! I am so grateful for all of you and am ready to get to work on day one.
Thank you, Pennsylvania! ❤️
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best
There is a lot of confusion here and a narrative being pushed that is a flat out lie. Neither Jeffrey Yass nor his super pac has ever supported

. They have never even spoken. Campaign Finance reports are public so you don’t even have to take my word for it.
85% of what

Twitter cares about in terms of city services falls under the Streets Department. Bike Lanes, Traffic Calming, Trash Pick Up, Street Sweeping, Crossing Guards, Public Safety Traffic Officers, ADA Ramps, Potholes ect..........
Cannot even describe to folks the energy we are seeing on the ground in PA — in Philly, in rural areas, and in suburbs, Pennsylvanians are LOCKED IN and ready to VOTE.
They want a president who will move us forward. They want

into more areas of brewerytown have made my morning commutes much more fun and made this 7:45 call time in UCity much less brutal. All of our neighborhoods should have access to bike share and also e scooters if we are going to be honest
So a mayoral candidate has attacked two of his opponents (both women) who announced after he did. But chose not to attack the rich white guy business owners?

It’s dangerous to publicly claim a black woman has a criminal record to justify paying them poverty wages. It’s dangerous to casually claim people would “lynch” your majority minority opponents. This offensive behavior should be disqualifying.
@JeffBrownGrocer
, can you explain what you meant when you stated that the citizens would "lynch" your mostly Black and brown opponents you referred to as "insiders" and yourself as an "outsider"?
I just haven't heard anyone in years refer to people being lynched like this.
First Connie Clayton, then Joanne Epps. Philly lost two black queens who fundamentally changed Philadelphia for the better. My heart goes out to their families and everyone they touched and impacted.
Waste Incineration is actually terrible. It is not waste reduction. Worsens environmental racism and increases the risk of long term health issues for the surrounding community. Not only does the grocer not care about Chester but he doesn't seem to care about sustainability.
Through out the discourse about SIS it’s been very clear that many people actually have no idea what they are and make assumptions that are simply not true. Check out the inquirer’s description of what they are, what they do and provide and importantly what they don’t do.
I spent the early part of my career as the youth director at the Christian Street YMCA. We were a haven for the teenagers. We did everything we could to get as many teenagers free memberships through the Y Achievers Program and the 7th Grade Membership. 🧵
So according to Jeff either the media lies about him or it’s totally ok to pay a black woman below a living wage if you believe she has a criminal record. If she is his “friend” I’d hate to see what he says about his enemies while being live streamed on 6ABC.
WHYY makes it clear what the next mayor needs to do to prevent gun violence. I trust the person who’s reports they cited (six times). As controller
@RebeccaRhynhart
could only make recommendations, as Mayor she will take action on day 1
Trump is a diminished man, obsessed with his 2020 defeat in Philly, and he’s determined to exact revenge on our city for rejecting him. But no amount of ranting can get him more support here – just look at how many empty seats there were in the arena.

Imagine being a black woman who made it in the trades just to have a mayoral candidate claim you have a criminal record, to justify paying you well below a living wage. The inquirer publicly reported she left b/c of low pay. She said it herself in a video
Tremendously proud of the work my dad and the Consortium for doing this incredibly important work. Not every situation needs a badge and a gun. Work like this helps heal our communities.
A young man is in a mental health crisis. He attacked his grandmother.
Instead of police, a mobile crisis unit arrives.
No sirens or flashing lights — and no guns.
The counselors only talk. He agrees to get a psych eval.
Alternative response in action.

I am honored to have the support of two great mayors who know how to make city government work.
And that's exactly what I’ll do as mayor.
Let’s move Philadelphia forward — together.
Today marks an important milestone in my campaign. I just submitted 9,619 petition signatures to become the next Mayor of Philadelphia!
Thank you to the over 200 volunteers who believed in my vision and helped me get on the ballot. I could not have done this without you.
I don’t know about you but it seems fair for workers to get a 40% wage increase when the CEO got a 40% raise, especially after the workers took major cuts to save the auto industry.

might claim he is a moderate but he looks forward to joining Trump on stage and getting the country back on track. The track he wants our country on? Trumps dangerous agenda aka project 2025.

This is a tragedy and it is a mass shooting. This needs to be covered as such and we need to treat this incident with the urgency it deserves. None of our children should live under the cloud a persistent fear of being f shot and killed.
Thank you
@JalenHurts
for doing what you can to provide relief for victims of senseless acts of gun violence in our city. This type of leadership on and off the field is what

Joe Biden has the empathy and moral clarity to lead our country with humanity and m the experience to make our country work for everybody. The contrast could be more clear, Joe Biden will continue to protect our freedoms, our rights and our democracy. I’m ten toes down for Joe.
President Biden: Let me close with this. I know I'm not a young man. I don't walk as easily as I used to. I don't talk as smoothly as I used to. I don't debate as well as I used to. Well, I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to
@JeffBrownGrocer
Obviously you don’t how the mayor’s office works if you think the budget director sets policy and decides what to cut. The Mayor sets the policy, the budget director creates the budget based on that policy.
