Zohran Mamdani wins!
He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.
Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

These kind of votes are born out of trans representation in government.
Rep. Howell & I have built solid relationships with Republicans and those relationships change hearts, minds, and (eventually) votes.
It is painful, grueling work. But it makes a difference.

Two BIG wins in Motnana!
We killed two anti-trans bills today (a drag ban & a bill requiring CPS to remove trans kids from parents).
I'm so grateful for Montana Democrats, who have stood unwavering in their support of trans rights. And grateful to all the Republicans who said enough is enough.

Guinea Fowl, Plural
Guinea fowl cannot say “I.” They can only say “we.” Even if you tried to explain individuality to them, they would have no frame of reference, since a lone guinea hen is a dead guinea hen.
