Let it be known, @ZohranKMamdani was the only NYC mayoral candidate to come to the rally yesterday demanding protection for our trans youth. He didn’t come to speak, he came to show his support and listen to trans youth. That is the kind of mayor NYC so desperately needs.

I'm going to give it a couple innings.....But This cannot be the strike zone in the World Series. The umps should have a ear piece and someone telling them from NY they're botching it behind the dish!
