There’s still so much work to do in NYS to support our fledgling regulated cannabis industry, but thank you for acknowledging my efforts thus far and naming me a Cannabis Industry Power Player! @amNewYork @PoliticsNYnews #NewYork #CannabisCommunity #cannabisculture #cannabis #ny

I am full of hope, the time for #CleanSlateNY has come! This bill has unlikely partners and unlikely co-sponsors! We know that a real second chance will help people get back to work and access dignified housing! We know that #CleanSlateCantWait

Second Circuit Court has just lifted the CAURD license injunction in four of the five regions: "The district court’s injunction is modified so that it bars the issuance of conditional adult-use retail cannabis dispensary licenses only in the Finger Lakes region."

Now me too!
My daughter just asked my birth year and I said 1976, and she said, "Dang! That's close to the Holocaust." And I was going to object, but it's actually closer to the Holocaust than it is to the present day and now I'm messed up for the rest of the day.

If Black kids are old enough to experience racism, white kids are old enough to read about it.

Bobbi, 9, was the subject of alleged racial profiling while working to eradicate the invasive spotted lanternfly in Oct. Last week, she was honored by @Yale. The lanternflies she donated to @yalepeabody will be forever associated with her name. More: m.yale.edu/bf48

Really sad, devastating news. A water pipe burst on Friday and ruined a LOT of books at Third World Press, the country's oldest Black-owned publishing company. They've launched a flood fund to get back on their feet. Please consider donating. gofundme.com/f/flood-fund-fo…

Thank you @bradhoylman!!!
Today, I voted not to advance the nomination of Justice LaSalle to the NY Court of Appeals. We need a Chief Judge who will stand up for defendants, workers, immigrants & women. But first and foremost, we need someone to unify our highest court. This nominee isn’t that person.
