I love that in all these pictures Zohran essentially becomes a Zohran Mamdani cardboard cutout, and Trump looks like he's best friends with it.

This kind of sounds like those big bang theory episodes with the laugh track edited out.
Vance: "We had a meeting with Jeffries and Schumer in the Oval Office. The president whispers to one of his personal assistants and she comes back with two Trump 2028 hats. Then he has the photographer come in and he points at Jeffries as he's holding the Trump 2028 hat! It was a hysterical moment."

On Transgender Day of Remembrance I want to take a moment to recognize folks, like myself, who are still here despite their own best efforts at one point or another.

It's hard to pull out of spiral but I'm glad we stuck around.

NEW: Research shows that SNAP work requirements have little effect on employment. The GOP's big, brutal bill includes them anyway — and will cause 2.4 million people to lose food benefits in an average month.

IPS scholar @reyannaj.bsky.social:
Even with the Shutdown Ending, Millions Will Lose Food Aid - OtherWords
The GOP budget bill passed earlier this year includes the largest cuts to SNAP in history. And those cuts are starting now.

1. Nearly every transgender person walks this earth knowing people like us who are no longer with us.

In writing about transgender people every day, I hold in my heart the people who are now our ancestors, and I try to bring their light forward.

These are the people I'm remembering today.
The People I Remember On This Trans Day Of Remembrance
Elisa Shupe, Lia Smith, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, and so many more names are worth remembering today.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.
