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?"

You know who also called Charlie Kirk a fascist and hated him and casually uses "gay" as a slur and joke?

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
Ammunition engraved with transgender and antifascist ideology was found inside the rifle authorities believe was used in Kirk’s shooting, sources say.
Ammunition in Kirk Shooting Engraved with Transgender, Antifascist Ideology: Sources
Investigators found ammunition engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology inside the rifle that authorities believe was used in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, according to an internal law enforcement bulletin and a person familiar with the investigation.

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 am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people.
Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.

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.
My latest: No other modern-day autocrat has tried to destroy democracy as quickly as Trump. But there’s a good reason for that: It’s stupid.
The combination of Trump’s recklessness and the strength of US civil society will eventually lead to a showdown, one he’s going to lose. 🧵

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.
Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

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.
