On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

It's a day when men can talk about "the issues that face us?" I could do that yesterday. I will do that tomorrow. None of y'all can stop me.
When I talk about men's mental health y'all tell me to shut up. But now we have a day for it?

he's going to "welcome" them the same way he welcomed the South Korean workers who were setting up the electric vehicle factory.

Buttigieg polled an impressive 0% with Black voters. Zero. Percent.
Do you know how kind and friendly Black voters are? Everyone gets like 3%, just for showing up! You have to work to go down from there!

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Gravity of the moment? Nah.
I went to prep school like a nerd. I still got pulled out of my car, had guns pointed in my face, thanks to centrist "tough on crime" policies.
Y'all should recognize the gravity of the moment, and realize that centrist stuff doesn't play anymore.

And this is how we get Trump. Do. Not. Split. Even when you're furious. Especially when we're furious. Understand the gravity of the moment. We're not supporting him. We're supporting the fight against masked agents pulling people off of the street and children starving to death.
I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.
I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
