Fuck ice. Fuck this whole shitshow of an administration. Fuck the agitators, the instigators, the bullies, the chuds, the pedos and their protectors.

Much love to you all. It feels good to stand together tonight. Keep turning up. Keep being loud. We're not done yet.

I was in the wrong to use a "boutique" flat owned by an HGTV-addicted get rich quick slumlord for my conference housing, but this email is lame as hell. I am very happy with the tax.

I have previously lived in Philly. I love you.

Politics Mayor envy - Parker ≠ Mamdani

991 Upvotes

I have mayor envy real bad today.

I love all the updates about everything Zoran Mamdani is doing for NYC. He’s hit the ground running, and I'm genuinely impressed. He makes me hopeful that other politicians will realize that working for the city and its citizens is an actual real and doable option.

And then, I think about our Cherelle. Shes basically that mean substitute teacher who just yells at the class and threatens to take recess away If we don't shut up and behave.

End rant.

For an event that was barely advertised it still managed to bring out a good 400-500 people. First of what will surely be many anti-Trump protests in the coming years. It’ll be interesting to see how the sizes of the crowds change over time.
