To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:
I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.
Your health care is still legal and protected.
I'll always fight for you.

Gender affirming care for trans people is safe, effective, and has a lower regret rate (4%) than almost any major medical procedure. It saves lives. These are facts. The right's talking-points are recycled "they are coming for your children!" scare tactics well over fifty years old at this point.
New research finds trans teens have high satisfaction with gender care
The survey published in JAMA Pediatrics showed that trans teens taking puberty blockers or hormones had very low rates of regret.

During Trump's first term, DSA gave me hope that a better world was still possible. That hope guides my campaign for a Ward 1 with rent caps, free childcare, union jobs, and everything we need for a life of dignity and joy.

I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI.
The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

unpopular authoritarian regimes launching wars to try to save their legitimacy notoriously does not work, its not gonna work for trump (let alone in this particular moment when most of the public is against foreign intervention generally)
Its weird to see ppl on this site doom at the prospect of Trump doing something objectively stupid & self-sabotaging. Like, no starting a war of choice with Venezuela is not going to rescue him or stop elections. Its just gonna make a mess & thus make ppl hate him even more.
Look, all I know about Venezuela and the economy is, if you think voters didn’t like gas prices at $3, they’re gonna hate them at $4.50

If Trump launches an illegal war against Venezuela without congressional authorization Congress must impeach him immediately.
He has no legal authority to start a war. It’s insane, unconstitutional, and criminal.
