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.

This is probably the most disappointing thing Mamdani has done so far, but picking any cop to lead was always gonna be trash I guess.
NEW: Jessica Tisch has accepted Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's offer to stay on as NYPD commissioner under his administration.
In an email to cops, Tisch wrote she will remain "a fierce advocate for you and for this department. You know how I operate: I don't mince words."

First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.
