He tried to call her "queen" the first time that she challenged him, and she just went in harder. This man is a joke.

[@MrMalcolm900]

I applaud her for what she did, but my problem with Olay is that she is also a smear artist. I will see her post on Twitter, and if you happen to be a political opponent of hers, she will miss quote you, distort what you actually said, and will push lies against you. Do I think mayor? Eric Adams is a scumbag absolutely. However, she is no saint either.

Adams was so disrespectful to her. Turning your back on someone is THE MOST DISRESPECTFUL THING a person can do; and this was a Black man's behavior toward a Black woman. Why couldn't he just say, "You're right. We have more work to do, but I'd like to highlight what I have done so far. Additionally, I will take your input under consideration."

[@nowknowthis]

[@Chi-cd3ke]

Or there's a police presence so crime has gone down. It's not that hard to follow that logic. I'm here in Chicago. I do feel safer seeing police on the L. It's pretty much a psych ward after 9

[@Jmi391]

@@Chi-cd3keBut that’s you. She literally backed that up by bringing up reports that actually people didn’t feel safe seeing more police officers. You might see that logic the people in New York have said otherwise which was her point.

They have massively increased police presence in subway stations but they do not do anything. Just stand there

[@Chi-cd3ke]

@Jmi391 I speak for myself. I feel safer. In Chicago, white people I talk to have completely abandoned public transportation because there's too much going on. If police that yall claim are doing nothing make you nervous. Maybe reevaluate your life. The only time i ever felt anxious around police was when i was doing dirt

[@Jmi391]

@@Chi-cd3ke You’re not thinking critically. No one is nervous of police themselves no one said that but the fact that your brain has went there shows me a lot about u and how u think. The police presence is what makes people nervous because the police being there usually means that something went down or something is wrong especially if they are walking around armed. People walking around taking defensive or offensive measures doesn’t tend to make people feel safe it actually makes them feel that danger is near and that’s what she is talking about and that’s what the surveyed people in New York have stated as well. Speaking for yourself is speaking for yourself you are one person and we are talking about a city full of people that have spoken about the police presence in the subway making them feel unsafe and this has been documented as she stated in the video. It has nothing to do with being guilty and wanting to duck police because of “doing dirt” that is so stupid and such a simple way of looking at things.

THIS IS WHY VOTING LOCALLY IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN EVERY SINGLE STATE 🎯

[@otherperson]

We need actual person to person democracy within our communities. We need ordinary people to have the real ability to decide on the civil and economic direction of our society.

[@SalamHerbs-db5nt]

​@otherperson democracy always ends in communism and the minority being oppressed. Statism of any kind never ends well. Democracy r4qlly goes out the window when the slaves realize they can just vote for more "free" stuff.

[@otherperson]

@@SalamHerbs-db5nt this made no sense lol. If the people have actual control of their lives, they would not ask for free stuff because there would be no one to ask. They would produce their basic needs themselves. There would be no state, because there would be no institution by which some social class has control over another. Majority rule can be addressed in numerous ways (giving minority groups veto power over decisions that directly affect them, cosensus or consent based democracy, and so on). The state is the problem. But the solution to the alienation of the state is real communal decision making.

[@SalamHerbs-db5nt]

@otherperson Mordern democracy is a scam. A nefarious and diabolical system to keep people enslaved. The slaves have no control over their lives, and the ruling class doesn't care what the slaves want.

@@rachelspence2339 not trying to start an argument and i mean no offence but they play a huge role in deciding where the funds are diverted. the mayor isn't responsible for crime, he's responsible for the way these crimes are handled, the way these criminals are handled, the way the streets and the people who live in them are taken care of. if his job didn't do anything, there wouldn't be a whole election for it, crime is not an individual problem, it's a state issue, if not a federal one; yk what happens in countries where crime is handled better? where the whole system is better? there's less crime.

I just want to know what the real solution is to all of these problems. Why do things seemingly get worse no matter who is in office?

[@itsssfury]

​@@rachelspence2339 glad we can have a casual dialogue, i appreciate you reciprocating the sentiment! i definitely don't deny that every individual has the capacity to improve themselves, to improve their lives, and their community; i just think that there are so many systemic issues that we really need to come together to deal with too. personally, i think the reason why things seemingly get worse no matter who's in office is because, to a certain extent, it doesn't matter; people have no tools to hold them accountable. there's nothing letting us really affect the way anything is handled, only the people who handle it; unions are probably our most powerful tool to pressure government into doing anything, and nyc has a history of union busting ranging all the way back to the late 1800s in brooklyn. when you add to that the nature of how wealthy people continue to accumulate more and more money, giving them more political sway, giving them more opportunities to further exploit workers to make even MORE money, and it becomes very clear why everything seems to continuously get worse overall. this may be optimistic or naive, but i genuinely think most crime is not born from misguided people but the terrible conditions they have to endure, poverty drives people to steal, a lack of mental health resources drive people to do all sorts of things, and budget cuts reducing the aid we can offer whomever may be in need, in favour of lining some police chief's pockets, is nothing short of tragic.

Much love. Thank you. Olayemi is fantastic.

[@Auovix]

Olayemi Olurin is a breath of fresh air, dont think I could've sat through another 50 some odd minutes of Tezlyn Figaro. I understand letting the guests speak and defend themselves before too many things get piled on top of each other, but she deserved more respect than she received. It seems they agree on more things than Adams wants to believe. I agree with some things he says, and roll my eyes at others. He just needs to understand that his language/choice of words are more impactful than he realizes. He has the power to instill fear, or grant a sense of safety with just a few flicks of his tounge and I 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 thats part of what Olayemi was getting at.
