My Message to Muslim New Yorkers β€” and Everyone Who Calls This City Home.
My Message to Muslim New Yorkers β€” and Everyone Who Calls This City Home. YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Do the straight people still use Flamer as a slur? Or did they stop because that makes us sound a little badass and it wasn’t sufficiently derogatory?

Ok NYC can we please get our shit together. We should, at minimum, be as progressive as San Antonio about preventing animal cruelty on our streets.

Rowmate on this flight tried three incorrect delta password attempts to get on wifi before pulling out a notebook containing a handwritten list of all their account logins and passwords. Open the cybersecurity schools!
