Last night, after Guardian Angels stalked the Stonewall Protests, members were riding the Q while I was on the way home. They were picking fights with riders from the march. One member got in my face while I was seated and then tried to karate kick me. Another rider intervened.

When the Manhattan GOP invited them to the UES to deal with the "homelessness problem", in a hope to push out our most at risk neighbors, I stepped up to start UES Mutual Aid to help rather than harm.

So it's ironic that the member asks what I've done to help in this clip.

The GA have stalked my very block, harassed me + neighbors for abolition work when we've asked them to go. We've told them to leave and they instead assert their "right" to intimidate us and our at-risk neighbors. Tonight they escalated to violence after following Stonewall.

For years GA leader @CurtisSliwa has drifted rightward, while maintaining close ties to police and electeds like Queens DA @MelindaKatz. We can only assume police know who the leader of GA is and are letting the gang operate in the open.

Add together NYPD members participating in the insurrection, NYPD's harsh treatment of assumed black and latine "gang members", while letting "crime prevention" patrols with no real training perform "citizens arrests" on our MTA & we're allowing a militia express their discretion

When do we treat the Guardian Angels, real-life boogeymen of 80's fearmongering, like we said we would treat gangs during the "tough on crime" era. They now have embroidered uniforms. It's a brazen performance of systemic inequality, just because there's a white man at the helm.

It happens that the member who kicked me lives on my street. A police-sanctioned gang member who was talking about my run for office, has it out for me, knows where I live and feels within his rights to attack me without recourse.

All in the name of "keeping the streets safe."

So, after years of harassing LGBTQ youth, homeless NYers, and more, it's time to break up this gang @NewYorkStateAG @ManhattanDA @NYCMayor @NYCMayorsOffice @LegalAidNYC
