Mamdani: "What we have built in this city is also an indication of what politics can be. After the November election, we heard that young people were leaving the Democratic Party, they were getting disinterested in politics. And we built a campaign where we said, what if we treated them w/ respect?"

Our first ad of the general election starts airing tomorrow: “Things Can Change.”

You know who also called Charlie Kirk a fascist and hated him and casually uses "gay" as a slur and joke? Groypers and people who follow Nick Fuentes, the Hitler lover who dined with Trump.

The Wall Street Journal needs to issue a full retraction and apology to the trans community for this. Nothing less will suffice. They put us all in danger and recklessly put out incorrect information.

This is feeling like the time a racist spray painted “blacks rule” on his own driveway and tried to blame it on BLM activists

I feel this should be a bigger story, right?

ACTION REQUIRED. In solidarity with the lovely folks at The People's Forum, we will be attending their Ice Out of New York Rally Tomorrow at 3pm at Foley Square If you can attend, please do. TMNYC stands in solidarity with our migrant siblings against the horrors of ICE

How times have changed. 🤬 13 years ago, I was presenting on Transgender Workplace Inclusion in London and then in 2025, I am fighting for survival against erasure in the United States.

Thank you, Chris! ☺️

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

we love you @booksmith.bsky.social 💌💌💌💌 & by the way they'll ship books anywhere, you can find them at www.booksmith.com

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Remind me again how a quick attack on Pearl Harbor worked out for Empire of Japan?

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so. 🧵

I still think this type of collapse is the likeliest outcome of the GOP plan to make war on the society it governs. Regimes like this are already unstable, but especially so under such extreme & obviously self-inflicted circumstances.

From the moment he was nominated, RFK, Jr. has made it clear that he would put his conspiracy theories over the health and well-being of American families. And he is making good on that promise. thehill.com/homenews/edu...

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

It is impossible not to read this in conjunction with the Supreme Court's heartrbreaking, awful decision in Skrmetti allowing states to deny transgender teens the health care they need.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Click through the hyperlinks. You'll find the spike in unpaid bus fares is largely due to a 2023 change in how they were measured; the rise in felony assault was almost entirely under Adams; and their evidence of population loss is an article headlined "New York City’s Population Is Growing Again".

Among the infuriating things about this NYT editorial is that it cites a raft of statistics from 2025 to suggest the city's in decline, and then lays blame for them on DeBlasio's progressivism, even though those stats are misleading or looked fine at the end of his term.

Today we went out to tell The New York Times "Enough is ENOUGH!" with their blatant anti-trans bias. The Times' misrepresentative reporting on trans healthcare has been weaponized by anti-trans policy makers, yet they refuse to listen to transgender voices when they are reporting on trans lives.

One more day until everybody’s gay

🧵MEGA THREAD: I'm tracking the far right anti-LGBTIQ groups targeting LGBTIQ events during Pride Month. Also, how are organizations, corporations, and lawmakers responding to the Trump Administration and Republicans' ongoing efforts to erase and criminalize the transgender and queer community.

He got a REAL ID, is a citizen and was arrested and told his real id was fake. ICE is a disgrace.

This is so f’ed up. Please call your reps on this list. I am stunned at the names.

David Bowie's father: hey i have an idea why don't you reinvent yourself as somebody who mows the goddamn lawn

Perfect level of petty for dealing with bureaucratic idiocy.

Trans icon Miss Major was just denied entry on to a plane in Arkansas because her ID had an X gender marker on it.

Ah yes, the government asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews. No way that could go wrong www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...

It’s been 27 days since ICE sent Andry (the make-up artist with “mom” & “dad” tattoos that ICE claimed were TdA tattoos) to be imprisoned in El Salvador. Thank you @repyassansari.bsky.social, @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social, and @repdexteror.bsky.social for not forgetting him.

This was a great (small, but mighty) protest! @transexualmenace.bsky.social

Pope Francis questioned JD Vance’s ethical schema by arguing that extended meditation on the parable of the Good Samaritan will ultimately cut against it. Published February 12, 2025: newrepublic.com/article/1914...

On ABC, @vanhollen.senate.gov responds to @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's dismissal of the Abrego Garcia case as a GOP "distraction." "Americans are tired" of pols who "put their finger to the wind ... Anyone that's not prepared to defend the constitutional rights of one man... doesn't deserve to lead."

Sen. Chris Van Hollen responds to Gov. Gavin Newsom's comments calling the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case a distraction, adding, “This is not about one man. If you deny the constitutional rights of one man, you threaten the constitutional rights for everybody."

We stand with our UK trans sisters!!!

My ACLU colleagues who have been working 24 hours a day were definitely not sleeping and I am just so grateful for them!

This was 100% predictable (and predicted). The big firms that capitulated will cave and do whatever Trump wants. He owns them and will humiliate them for the next 3+ years. If you are a lawyer at one of these firms, leave now with your dignity. If you are a law student -- is this what you want?
