Well, I didn’t expect to cry today. Reasons why I really need this man in office and also reasons why I’m never fucking leaving this city.

Wow. An ad that’s a full-throated understanding and specific support of the LGBTQIA+ community. I’m impressed to the level of “Can this ad truly be coming from a Democrat?” level of impressed

It goes without saying that Mamdani’s policies are good ones, but as someone in PR I am impressed by what great communicators he and his team are. They artfully tie his messages back to a moment in history that underscores he is not proposing anything radical, but a continuation of NY’s story. 1/2

I'm just thinking about how Mamdani talks (and defends) trans people for two minutes more than the democrats did at the last convention. And the video is only two minutes and five seconds long.

The democratic leaders are trying to figure out how to lead while ignoring this democratic leader!
This is how it's done!
Lifting up, not selling out the trans community.
Building trust in good faith.
The world is watching his actions and yours.
Fight for them damnit! They've fought for everyone!

"The man with the most power has expended enormous energy targeting those with the least."

At a moment when the Trump regime is persecuting #LGBTQIA+ people,
and too many Democrats shamefully regard trans people as a political embarrassment,
Mamdani clearly affirms that #TransRightsAreHumanRights.
