In NYC, a shelter for trans people experiencing homelessness should be a godsend to the most vulnerable members of our community, but issues including predatory cis men lying their way in have made it a nightmare.
And @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social isn't answering activists' emails...
In 2017 I did some inter-agency work on LGBTQ issues for the NYC Health Dept. Common wisdom held that the Dept Homeless Services was, hands down, the worst agency in the city for queer and trans New Yorkers. Marsha’s House was a well-known nightmare. A decade later, here we are.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Trump administration is considering an order that would make banks collect customers’ citizenship status. It’s unclear how it would work, and critics warn it could limit banking access and raise privacy and legal concerns.
Terrifying
New in @thecity.nyc: Only 42% of likely NY-13 voters support re-electing Rep. Adriano Espaillat, per an internal poll from the @darializaforny.bsky.social campaign. Take it with a grain of salt, but it’s the first look at where voters stand ahead of the June primary www.thecity.nyc/2026/04/20/e...

"Democratic primary voters at the Michigan nominating convention boo AIPAC-funded/Schumer-endorsed candidate Haley Stevens. She has taken in over $9m from pro-israel groups."
They always ignore even speaking about AIPAC. They'll squirm to how great they are.

Absurd, ridiculous - if she were talking about Biden or Obama not Netanyahu this wouldn’t have happened. Land of the Free? Not so much.

ICE took Daphy Michel Michel, a 31-year-old Haitian immigrant with an active asylum claim, from the Washington County jail, without notifying her family.

Maryland has, for now, stopped ICE from converting a warehouse designed to hold commercial products into a warehouse used to hold people.
Similar lawsuits have been filed against ICE's warehouse detention camp plans in New Jersey and Michigan.

Here’s the ad promoting the new Peter Thiel backed startup, Objection, where AI will allegedly determine the veracity of journalists’ claims. It looks like they took the ad down, but I screen grabbed it when I could still access it from a QT by right wing Christian investor Nate Fischer. 1/
