RT @JumaaneWilliams: It's not about personal projects not being funded. Cutting 40k summer youth jobs or an oncology department, saying we can't hire more doctors, nurses, teachers, counselors, but need more officers – it flies in the face of this moment of need and @NYCMayor should be ashamed. https://t.co/5W46pagNof
