Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election. In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t. We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth. Many complied and shut down their programs. Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care. And now, they just beat Trump in court. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun. Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found. WSJ owes a full retraction and apology. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Thousands of people, kids too, are dead in no small part due to the kind of firearm policies & the culture of hate exhorted by Kirk,- to say nothing of his genocide apologia. The fact that international liberal "leadership" is falling over itself to project mourning for this bigot is perverse.

I would strongly encourage my cis friends to read these. I am not exaggerating when I say the last ~6 months or so has been an endless cycle of watching things become materially worse/more harmful every week or so and just having to go to work or whatever and go make small talk.

Resemblance noted physically and behaviorally.

I know a lot of mainline dems read my work, so for those of you skeptical of my argument because of my role as a trans journalist, know that I _endorsed_ Harris for president. The critiques I levy against Newsom are very particular to him and he poses a unique danger that I cannot stay silent on.

After Jeffries bullshit today:

🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣

The appalling thing about the “LGB Without the T” gays isn’t just that they abandoned the most unfairly demonized people now when all of our support is so needed but that they still pat themselves on the back for being out-and-proud freedom fighters 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 Sorry, no. You’re collaborators 👎🏼

The United States Air Force is set to deny retirement benefits to transgender folks who have served and earned them. If you think this is right then you can kiss my black ass French style.

Yeah, I'm never voting for Buttigieg even if he's the nominee. This is a bright line for me. You cave on trans issues and lend credence to bigots, it's over. I'm not letting the Dems go down the path of Labour. www.them.us/story/pete-b...

The cruelty aimed at trans military members who have bled for this country is heinous and disgusting. Even worse is the fact that this is all at the behest of a rapist defense secretary and a draft-dodging, pedophile, rapist president. www.military.com/daily-news/i...

Anyway, Fuck Terfs, Free Palestine 🇵🇸 📸 @thesmithvisual

let's call this what it is: the forced infantilization of our entire goddamn society. this would've been unthinkable even a year ago. zero respect for any motherfucker who supports or otherwise aided and abetted this slide into 'everyone is a helpless child until proven otherwise' tbqh

If you refuse to understand who trans people are and what we go through, you're too ignorant to have an opinion on anything involving our lives and our bodies.

Watching younger Dem reps use the Epstein files to expertly juggle the GOP while elder Dems clutch their pearls: 1) Gives me so much hope for the future. 2) Tell me a TON of elder Dems are in those files and need to be in jail along with Trump.

When is this going to end? What is there to even say anymore?

Hey @trevorproject.bsky.social, are you cool with @humblebundle.com using YOUR good name fighting for trans kids to profit off of JK Rowling's hatred for those same children???

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

I've received a quite fascinating email. This person claims they've singlehandedly blocked 33 sales of my books. Any chance I can get 34 books sold off this to annoy them? Please RT! UK: www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=sophia+m... or US: www.amazon.com/s?k=sophia+m...

Trans people make up 1-3% of American society depending on definitions (nonbinary, trans, etc). That is enough to swing multiple close swing state elections. Democrats should not nominate an anti-trans Democrat.

The problem was that he was touching people too much, especially women!

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

This is why the democrats are useless. They refuse to use every lever of power they have to stop Trump. They're just sitting back and letting it happen.

Sorry Superman ain't flying around, randomly putting brown people in swamp prisons. That must be hard for you. Thoughts and prayers and whatnot.

[MAGA world suddenly looking at the photos and videos of Trump being weird with teenage girls and putting it together like the end of “The Usual Suspects” only it takes three hours because there’s a LOT of material to get through]

Imagine being part of a floundering political establishment at historic lows in favorability, seeing this guy's absolutely infectuous energy, and deciding to try to stop it through an array of embarrassing media appearances and editorial blunders.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

It's honestly disgusting seeing people blame children for dying in a natural disaster. They didn't deserve any of this. Fix your hearts.

God I love the belcourt! So going to this!

more bad news

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

Incredible news for trans people - the Medicaid provision is out of the Trump horror bill. It did not require a point of order vote, and instead, Republicans pulled it out on their own, likely knowing they would lose the vote. Good job to everyone for calling their Senators.

"To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems."

Everyone who follows me should call their Senator this morning to urge them to vote in favor of Wyden’s point of order and remove the Medicaid funding ban for transgender care from Trump’s horror bill.

1. Children's Hospitals are reportedly under investigation by the FBI for gender affirming care, which is not illegal. The Trump admin is using anti-FGM laws, which do not apply and have specific definitions. It is a scare tactic meant to coerce hospitals. Subscribe to support our journalism.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

And if you need another incentive, just know that if we raise this money, we WILL be making merch of me flipping off a transphobe: bsky.app/profile/katm...

Alright everyone. Republicans are going to force a vote on their gender affirming care provision even though it violates Senate rules. They’ll need 60 votes to keep it in. Now is the time to make your voice heard and ask your Senators to stand on the side of health care freedom.

Someone tell this dumbfuck you either embrace naked power in the service of fascism and shrug off the criticism, OR you get to whine about "harsh words" targeting judges. You don't get to do both, dipshit, and you made your choice. apnews.com/article/supr...

hi, cis folks! the GOP put the all-ages trans medicaid ban back in the budget, despite it being struck. they did it to force dems to challenge it on the floor. if you've been paying attention, you know dems need to hear you want them to actually stand up to the GOP. contact info at reps.fyi 🧵

It's amazing how much clarity the New York Times has about Viktor Orban and his crackdown on LGBTQ people. If only they had it for Trump and the US. It's the exact same political strategy!

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.
