I live right near Prospect Park. It& #39;s a nice place to exercise at distance. Today, I ran into @nycmayor @billdeblasio w/ @nycfirstlady there.

But they live 11 miles away *inside* another park and force a 4 SUV entourage to drive them non-essentially to Bklyn for recreation (1/n)

de Blasio opposes opening streets for all, esp 4 those who don& #39;t happen to live near a nice park, aren& #39;t chauffeured in fossil-fuel convoys to Park Slope

They tend to be poorer, working class, POC.

BdB& #39;s wrong opinion: They can& #39;t be trusted, more cops needed, more boots

de Blasio has cut funding for Summer Youth Employment, education, climate, even Vision Zero, while INCREASING funding for a bloated NYPD & planning expensive, frivolous, risk-creating follies like Macy& #39;s fireworks and a parade.

He claims to be a progressive & grifted onto @BernieSanders campaign. But BdB parrots talking points at a national level without understanding their meaning in his own context.

His actions tell us who he really is

Austerity for the working class, privilege for the ruling class

@NYCMayor no, I won& #39;t "give it a break." You don& #39;t get a break. We don& #39;t get a break.

You can& #39;t change the past & will always have blood on your hands.

If I were you, I& #39;d be working night & day to help those in most dire need. Maybe start with your inadequate homeless services.

It took me a while to get my phone out and I didn& #39;t get a lot on tape.

We also talked about @NYCMayor& #39;s slow inaction with city jails, especially Rikers. His plodding doomed many prisoners & workers to death sentences, cruel & unusual punishment: https://theintercept.com/2020/03/23/coronavirus-rikers-jail-de-blasio-cuomo/">https://theintercept.com/2020/03/2...
