“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.”

I want to underscore that this is unusual. There are countless cases you'll never hear about because people will--reasonably!--take the deal even if they did. nothing. wrong. This isn't proof the system works. It's proof that sometimes, extraordinarily courageous people can grind its gears.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children. From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.
