Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov · 26/07/2026
36 years ago today, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. This came after decades of advocacy from the Disability Rights movement and changed our country and our City for the better.

“The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law 36 years ago.

We’re fighting for a City 
that is accessible for all.”Mayor Mamdani high fives a child in a blue shirt.

Oh my GOD King County Public Health is just wilding out for Valentines Day (and a lovely one).
A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. A man shivers in bed while a smiling lady in a red mask shows off her bandage on her arm.

I'm vaxed so miss me with severe symptoms of flu.A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Two lady scientists shrug lackadaisically. Text reads: My love for you can't be explained by science. Just like the new federal vaccine guidelines.A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Protesters in Minneapolis wear thick clothes and hold signs of support for immigrant neighbors. Text reads: To the health departments in the Twin Cities:
Love unites us.
Our hearts are with you.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! There’s a Pittsburgh reference in S3E8 of Strange New Worlds! Specifically, there’s a line from someone who has just returned from a very specifically named planet, which leads to the line: “Mitchell brought back sandwiches from Purmantee, with the fries inside the sandwich.”

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death. But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

Oh my god, Trump actually got the NRA to come out to defend trans people owning a gun.
"Graphic from the NRA with a red border and dark blue background. White and yellow text states: 'The NRA supports the Second Amendment rights of all law abiding Americans to purchase, possess and use firearms. NRA does not, and will not, support any policy proposals that implement sweeping gun bans that arbitrarily strip law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights without due process.' The NRA logo is at the bottom. The tweet caption reads: 'The Second Amendment isn’t up for debate.'"

In a major precedent setting move, a Canadian federal judge blocked the deportation of a nonbinary US citizen because the Canadian immigration office failed to adequately assess the conditions for LGBTQ people since Trump took office. archive.ph/Q722T
Screenshot of a news article from The Globe and Mail with the headline: "Judge halts deportation of non-binary American in landmark ruling after Trump’s gender edicts." The article is written by Marie Woolf and was published in Ottawa 4 hours ago, with an update 3 hours ago.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.
Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales
Husband of Jonathan Joss

My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.

Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic.

When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw.

While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired.

Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.

Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future.

He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.

I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved.

To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family.

My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together.

If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband.

Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built.

    Tristan Kern de Gonzales
