Hopefully he doesn't follow her disgusting racist views. 🤞

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Looks like poor Canada caught a stray bullet by being too close to us. Sorry!

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us.
