I was a public defender in Brooklyn during Andrew Cuomo’s governorship. I saw how he damaged NYC & the people/communities I represented. I wrote on the 5 biggest public safety reasons Cuomo is patently unqualified to lead NYC. Thread w/ more receipts: zeteo.com/p/andrew-cuomo…

I remember Juneteenth when my son was just 5. I was a public defender & spoke openly about the systems I encountered. I described “slavery.” As Black people caged & chained, separated from families, & treated like animals. His response: “Just like jail, right?” He understood.
