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.
Mayor Mamdani holds the finish line at the USATF Outdoor and Para National Championship

“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. 

Text on image reads 
“More than 1 million 
New Yorkers live with disabilities.
So we’re investing
$67.5M in Special-Ed Pre-K.”

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.

Text: Noses are red
Ice packs are blue
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.'"

My request for **500** covid rapid tests (to keep them from being destroyed) was delivered while I was on travel!! I can't wait to start handing them out. If you're local to Pittsburgh and want a batch, lmk. (They're are no longer accepting requests for the tests, so I'm glad I jumped on it)

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.
