🚨#NY12 candidate Micah Lasher made a trans teenager cry at a Stonewall endorsement meeting yesterday.
Lasher lashed out after the teen pressed him about not being supportive enough of trans rights, saying “I’ve been fighting for trans rights since before you were born.”
JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”
Of course I worry for her safety but I admire her strength. She stood firm & did not allow his vileness to intimidate her. She literally stepped to him & did not back down deciding instead to proceed with Town Hall despite being advised against it.
Respect @IlhanMN 🙌🏽
@NydiaVelazquez has been an inspiration & mentor. She's fierce, she's bold, is unstoppable when on task & her political acumen is unparalleled. All qualities I greatly admire. She may not be running again but there will be lots of fight still to come from NUESTRA luchadora 🫶🏼 3/3
Her life's work has always been about uplifting others. She commands respect for our people & has fought tirelessly for #PuertoRico's decolonization. When she leaves Congress we will lose our fiercest & most effective advocate. It will be up to us to continue the fight. 2/
This makes me sad but @NydiaVelazquez def knows how to make a most graceful exit. A decision influenced not by pressure or controversy but what the moment calls for. True leadership & demonstrates why la luchadora has gained the respect of so many. 1/

@MikeBloomberg@andrewcuomo Mike you have some good ideas. But you need to shake this air of privilege you exude and deal with the fact that your money can’t buy everything. You can’t buy our votes. Mamdani is going to win in a landslide. Billionaires are going to get a spanking.
They were able to do this segment with a straight face?? Talking about @StephenAtHome being sacked by @CBS for speaking truth while sitting in the time slot of former @MSNBC host @Joyannreid & not even mention that same was done to her?? ¡Por favor! The hypocrisy & complicity!
When police wear masks, democracy loses its face.
Thank you to @brad.lander, @marklevinenyc, @joannesimonforbrooklyn, and @graceleefornyc for standing with me to announce the introduction of the MELT Act which will prevent ICE from covering their face to hide their identity.
@Riley_Gaines_ You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!!
But instead… You bully them…
One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!
Andry Jose Hernández Romero's attorneys acknowledged the support he has received from the LGBTQ community, stating to the B.A.R. that they found solace in it. https://t.co/e7YxCQuE4C
