So people looked at these pictures, saw who was in them, and said oh, no, we can't let other people know about that. Cover that guy's face up.
A bunch of people, right now, know exactly whose faces those are, and are simply declining to say.

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here
Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻♂️

NYC is not building “boatloads of housing”.
Last year, Manhattan permitted fewer units (2,347) than 1 boat (Icon of the Seas, 2,800 units)

"Republicans won't let us so we surrender" is Hakeem Jeffries' and Chuck Schumer's leadership in a nutshell, and it's just awful and so wrong for the time we're in.

What a great observation! “[Summers] has been preoccupied with the 11th commandment, ‘Thou shalt not get caught,’ rather than the other 10.”
"Two decades ago, Summers chastised West for engaging in behavior that could be deemed 'embarrassing' to the university or could interfere with his teaching, such as engaging in politics and recording a rap CD."

Two decades later, Cornel West’s critique of Larry Summers hits differently
After his public feud with the former Harvard president, West sees irony in Summers’ downfall.

I refuse to believe that Larry Summers' expertise and skills are indispensable in any way. Please find another economist and policy expert, @americanprogress.bsky.social. There are loads out there.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

The Times prefers to report on the slide into authoritarianism rather than try to stop it. Trump’s illegal acts are described as “testing the limits,” “expansion of powers,” etc.

I would note that this disdain points in one direction. These legacy media outlets have been quick to cover and hype tea party protests, anti-mask/anti-vax protests, and countless other examples of what they call “real Americans” engaging in protest.
For sure some of the legacy media outlets are downplaying the protests because they’re aligned with Trump, but I think an even bigger factor is how many elite journalists have a patrician disdain for the idea that politics can happen in the streets and not just the CNN green room.

He's spoken extensively about the kinds of people he wants staffing various city agencies and the folks across multiple administrations he's gone to for advice. It's all very encouraging and a sign that he might actually get shit done, even with the many challenges coming from the Trump regime.
we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

The key problem with what Ezra Klein says here is that he fails – or is unwilling – to grapple with the fundamental reality of the political conflict: The movement that dominates today’s Right fully rejects the very idea of “living here with each other” as equals. That’s their defining position.
"All I can say for me in the work I do is that I want to create a space that takes our disagreements seriously, that takes the stakes of them seriously, the consequences for people seriously, but does so without deepening our divisions irreparably. We are going to have to live here with each other"
