    It’s so funny, and by funny I meant blatantly racist, the way Mamdani and El-Sayed only ever talk about affordability and not wasting money on violence but every caricature is Death to America. I looked high and low for that 2 panel meme that’s all “together, we can make the city safe for our children” and hitlerlover88 is tweeting all fuuuuuck noooooo!!!

    “I want the community to know that I intend to be a lion for rights. When somebody’s coming for you, I intend to stand in the cut to protect you,” El-Sayed told Pride Source ahead of the primary, promising unequivocal support for LGBTQ+ rights even when unpopular. His public health background informs his commitment to protecting trans health specifically. “The Trump administration has tried to weaponize government against LGBTQ+ folks in a space that I know really well, which is health. My hope is to use my specific expertise in the Senate to make sure that I’m undoing a lot of the worst things that the Trump administration has done when it comes to targeting LGBTQ+ health.”

    And I’m just seeing that AOC is no longer with her fiance, that’s what this whole thing is about. It’s just so weird because El-Sayed has been married for 20 years.
