It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.

From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.

To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.

Happy Pride, New York City.

Matilda did not walk her four-year-old self to the public library every afternoon to soak up every possible moment she could in the comfort of books and joy of learning for you to not take advantage of your local library’s innumerable charms

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕

The Archbishop of Washington D.C. just said it directly.

“In Catholic teaching, this is not a just war.”

This isn’t a foreign pope making diplomatic statements from Rome.
This is the Archbishop of the American capital. The man who leads the Catholic Church in the city where the war was decided, where Congress was gaveled into silence, where the Pentagon threatened the Vatican’s ambassador for daring to disagree.

He just told Washington — from Washington — that what they are doing fails the moral test their own faith demands.

The just war doctrine has four criteria. A just cause. Right intention. Last resort. Proportional means.

Cardinal McElroy is saying this war fails them.

He joins Pope Leo XIV who called it unjust. Who called Trump’s threats unacceptable. Who the Pentagon summoned and threatened with the Avignon Papacy for saying so.

They threatened the Pope. They didn’t silence him.

They can’t silence the Archbishop either.

I agree with what Pope Leo XIV stated today in his first Easter speech:

Congress, are you okay?
You’ve barely touched your fucking checks and balances.

JIMMY KIMMEL: "I propose that we should think about adding his name to the Epstein files... it will heretofore be known as the Trump-Epstein Files."

TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES it is.

Pass it on.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms. It’s never been more important to support men and women who respect the Constitution and the rule of law. So make a plan to vote at https://t.co/IEdmXIyBzp.

Thank you to the millions of Americans who turned out in small communities and big cities all over this country to say loudly and boldly:

No more kings.

In America, We the People will rule.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

building a giant ballroom while half the country loses healthcare and is in poverty and can’t find housing or rent… i feel like i’m reading about pre-revolution france

When a history museum rewrites history to appease the president, it stops being a museum and starts being state propaganda. Straight-up Orwellian.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Progress in this country never comes easy or quick. For every few hard-earned steps forward, we might stumble a couple steps back. But sometimes, the slow, steady effort of generations is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt.

That's exactly what happened in a remarkable sprint of history ten years ago this week.

It is with great sadness that Jill and I learned of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. He was unlike any who came before him. Pope Francis will be remembered as one of the most consequential leaders of our time and I am better for having known him. For decades, he served the most vulnerable across Argentina and his mission of serving the poor never ceased. As Pope, he was a loving pastor and challenging teacher who reached out to different faiths.��He commanded us to fight for peace and protect our planet from a climate crisis. He advocated for the voiceless and powerless. He made all feel welcome and seen by the Church. He promoted equity and an end to poverty and suffering across the globe. And above all, he was a Pope for everyone. He was the People's Pope - a light of faith, hope, and love.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The stakes are just too high.
