Awesome to see our Board member Kellan Calder on stage with @mayor.nyc.gov announcing ways to make childcare in NYC more accessible for all New Yorkers! Thanks for all your amazing work for families across the City, Kellan! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gqfh...

Great piece on this Transgender Day of Visibility on the need for a fully-funded Lorena Borjas Trans Wellness and Equity Fund to support trans-serving orgs all over NYS! Particularly appreciate the shoutout to our 2025 LID honoree Caribbean Equality Project! www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2026...

📣 Join us at City Hall this Thursday as we fight back against the City Council’s proposed “buffer zone” bills. Make your voice heard: Demand your representatives reject these attempts to stifle free speech.

Join us for our March endorsement meeting tonight! lidbk.com/events/march...

Great to see judicial pushback to the federal war on gender-affirming care! www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/u...

This SATURDAY, join us with @nbkdsa.bsky.social and @lidbk.bsky.social to talk to our Bushwick neighbors about @cct4nyc.bsky.social and @juliasalazar.bsky.social's vision for a state where our communities thrive, and to help get them both on the ballot! More info: act.cct4nyc.com/petitioning-...

We had a great time marching with the Brooklyn Irish LGBTQ Organization at the Brooklyn St. Patrick's Day Parade this year! Always appreciate Ginger's hosting us afterwards -- here's to building joyful and empowered queer and trans communities everywhere!

Thrilled to see this announcement and thrilled that it happened right here in Brooklyn at @lgbtbrooklyn.bsky.social! Many congrats to Taylor Brown and very best wishes as she works to ensure NYC is a true haven for queer and trans communities.

Our NYC LGBTQIA+ community is deserving of exactly this! A dedicated office, led by a dedicated civil rights advocate, the first trans person to lead a city office 🏳️‍⚧️ So proud of the work we did during the transition to make this happen, grateful to @mayor.nyc.gov's commitment to our community ❤️

March with BILO this weekend!

Join LID for 2 upcoming endorsement meetings! We'll be meeting candidates for Congress, the State Legislature, and other offices -- join us on Zoom on Thursday, 3/19, and at DSK Brooklyn on Thursday, 3/26! More info on 1st meeting here: lidbk.com/events/march...

Great energy yesterday as we rallied to call out the despicable gender-affirming care cuts at NYU-Langone and Mt. Sinai and called on our elected officials to step up and make sure no trans young person loses access to care!

Join us today to stand up for gender-affirming care and demand action from our local leadership!

As private hospitals continue to abandon trans youth and other states get ever more cruel in their anti-trans laws, we need New York City and State to step up! Join us on Sunday!

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

Shameful decision by NYU-Langone to end gender-affirming care for trans young people!

Rev. Jesse Jackson built the Rainbow Coalition as a political home rooted in dignity and solidarity. That struggle continues here in New York City, in every fight for housing, justice, and equality. Today, we lower our flags in his honor — and recommit to the movement he called us to build.

Congrats to LID's new board and new president @smfox.bsky.social ! Here's to another year of fighting back in Brooklyn!

The last block of a bike lane on Ashland Place in Downtown Brooklyn has remained unfinished for years thanks to meddling by Adams advisor Ingrid Lewis-Martin. Mayor Mamdani is expected to announce on Friday that he will complete it. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/04/03/c...

Join us for our annual organizing meeting and the beginning of our 2026 endorsement cycle on Zoom tonight! Let's keep on building queer and trans political power and community in Brooklyn! lidbk.com/events/feb20...

This piece on how the federal government is treating trans migrants is so infuriating -- the toxic combination of Trumpist xenophobia and transphobia. We need to #AbolishICE but that's just the start -- we need a whole new system grounded in human rights and dignity. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Join us tomorrow at Stonewall!

Appreciate this message from our new NYC City Council LGBTQIA+ Caucus Chairs (including Brooklyn's own @chiosse.bsky.social!) and @speakermenin.bsky.social -- bring the Pride flag back to Stonewall! council.nyc.gov/press/2026/0...

Join us and @repyourblock.bsky.social tonight to learn how to build power on your local Dem committee! At a time when we desperately need a more effective Democratic Party at all levels, building this infrastructure at the ground level is critical! Register here: lidbk.com/events/queer...

Some of my very favorite people on here. Looking for something to do? Something real and practical to help make things better? Might find some concrete ideas and inspiration here. go.bsky.app/9H3C9Ty

We're just as confused as everyone else is about the Brooklyn Democratic Party's endorsement flip-flop today. But it does make the need for new Party leadership clearer than ever. Our full statement:

Join LID for our annual organizing meeting and our first endorsement meeting of the year on Thursday, February 12 at DSK Brooklyn! Here's to another year of building power for queer and trans Brooklyn!

So many NYers out in the cold at a vigil for Alex Pretti, standing in solidarity with the unions who organized it and with our siblings in MN 💙

Abolish ICE, full stop. Our Dem electeds in DC should not be voting for another dime for this agency or any part of Trump's fascist machine. @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social FFS step up and make clear that ICE needs to be abolished and defunded.

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself. Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

Wanda is a real one. I once ran in to her at Fire Island at Cherry's. She was dancing with her wife. I went up to her to thank her for standing up for trans folks. She asked if I wanted a hug and she gave me one and we briefly danced together.

Join us and other advocates and allies tomorrow in Union Square rallying for trans kids and against the transphobia raining down from the White House.

Unsolicited advice for anyone on Bluesky who wants to fight fascism in 2026 - don't stress about following big national accounts. Instead, follow LOCAL groups and people who are doing actual work on the ground. Join them and do stuff right in your community. THAT'S where the real action is. ❤️💪

I was first unsettled, then increasingly furious at the New York Times' coverage of the death of Lia Smith. Here's a thread sharing some trily despicable choices made by @julietmacur.bsky.social in writing about this young woman's suicide.

We've removed the paywall from this guide so everyone can access it. 👇 Stay safe.

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

We’ve seen what happens when a reckless American President tries to run a foreign country on behalf of rich oil executives. Trump’s corrupt & illegal actions jeopardize the lives of Americans, the stability of the region, and the rule of law.

This is insane. If your member of Congress doesn’t support impeachment, call/email and ask why they are giving away their Constitutional power

Absolutely outstanding speech -- thrilled that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is my new Mayor! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTHo...

New York, this moment belongs to you. Please join us for the Inauguration of a New Era on January 1, 2026.

LID stands with our trans community here in Brooklyn and everywhere and stands against the cruel transphobic policies of this fascist administration in DC.

Had the three Dems who voted for this held the line and voted no, they could have blocked it.

Instead of supporting health care for all, the federal House GOP is bullying trans kids. Take action against GOP legislation that would criminalize gender-affirming care and attack trans kids, their families, and medical staff! stonewall.hilltop-app.com/28a94036-d25...
