“National climate”, “optics” and “electability” be damned, TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. PROTECT OUR DOLLS.

I don’t think people get the rhetorical power of denying Cuomo a comeback – it sends a message that while disgraced demagogues get away with their past federally, NYC doesn’t hand out redemption.

I wrote about Taiwan’s infamous rooftop add-ons: those janky tin sheds stacked on buildings. They’re more than just eyesores; they’re personal, political, and quietly ingenious when formal planning falls short.
