To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

How dare they use a picture from the parade. Do not associate the Liberty with these two. Neither showed during the games all playoffs (*Hochul came pregame once but never on Jumbotron) because they knew the crowd didn’t want them there and would have booed them out of Barclays

Still boggling over how foolish this is—introduce legislation to create an inspector general?? The problem isn't that the New York City mayorship isn't subject to enough institutional oversight, it's that this particular mayor is a crook who cut a deal with a crook president. You can remove him!

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Republicans are doing this because they want gay men and transgender women to contract HIV. They believe that dying of AIDS is a deserved punishment for having gay sex, just as they think that forced childbirth is a deserved punishment for sexually active women. This is not especially complicated.

This AM on the group chat: - Two of us spoke w/ someone at the Hochul's office (opens at 9). We each called before 9:05 and had an avg 20 min wait on hold - One started trying to call around 9:30 and got a message that due to high call volume there's no hold or VM options Keep going New Yorkers!

This should be exceedingly obvious, but when Stonewall stays up while references to trans people come down, they will measure the silence of cisgender people as concurrence for whatever they plan next, and it still won't protect you in the end. So please get loud. Our mutual survival depends on it.

RFK Jr will be an unmitigated disaster. But it’s unfathomable how the party of the ACA & Mrs. Obama’s healthy meals and fitness initiatives lost the health debate to an unhinged nut job. Speaks to the misinformation of social media but also a weak effort to punch back.

Reminder that whenever someone says "gender ideology," they're referring to the mere existence of trans people, not an ideology. This is eliminationist garbage.

Look I agree that Elon Musk appears to be on a lot of drugs every time he appears in public. That's not very interesting to me. I'm more interested in how many drugs he can do at once. I think he could probably do more than anyone ever. I bet he could take way more than the doctors say is safe.

Gov Hochul can fire the mayor. She should have done so when the scope and scale of his cascading congenital corruption career was laid out in federal indictments. She waited for him to go to trial. Now that injustice has taken its course she is the only reason he remains in office. Step up Hochul.

Congestion pricing in New York City is a month old. What are the results? Less crime as subway ridership up, less cars, less traffic, more people walking around, and increasing popularity. Here's a thread of recent stories about it.

One of the key points of non-violent direct action is to force the authorities to stop you -- to force their hand, to make them arrest you, and yes, perhaps even make them lash out in violence -- and to broadcast those images to an otherwise apathetic public. Be confrontational, not compliant.
