Today my team and I at @translashmedia launched Season 4 of our investigative series #AntiTransHateMachine. For over a year looked at how Christian Nationalist and authoritarian forces are working together to destroy public education from the inside out using anti-trans hate.

New Yorkers pay more than 10 times as much to ride an electric Citi Bike compared to bike share in peer cities — and advocates are demanding that Mayor Mamdani set a price of $3 for a 45-minute ride. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/…

Last week, our Law Department filed an amicus brief in support of transgender New Yorkers, affirming a simple principle: your medical decisions and personal health information belong to you, not the government. Proud to stand with trans and queer young people across New York in defending privacy and dignity for all.

Last night was really a miracle. For the New Yorkers who aren’t here anymore, for the OG Knicks fans. Our ancestors making dreams come true. I hope they got to celebrate in the orange and blue skies 💙🧡

Last week, I was sitting in an arbitration hearing in which Washington Post leadership labeled me as a threat. And excused away the purging of Black writers, questioning our merit. Today, I’m getting a Distinguished Service Award from the Society of Professional Journalists.

City vibes are hard to explain right now. There’s a guy smoking a cigar and holding a broom and everyone is shaking his hand as if he’s an essential worker during the pandemic.

Today (7 June) marks what would have been Prince's 68th birthday. The American singer, songwriter and musician passed away on 21 April 2016. Throughout his career, he faced a lot of speculation about his sexuality due to his fluid presentation and refusal to conform to traditional gender roles. In his 1984 song 'I Would Die 4 U', he included the lyrics "I'm not a woman, I'm not a man. I am something you will never understand." 📷 Getty

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced a citywide campaign to highlight legal protections for transgender New Yorkers during Pride Month. Speaking during the latest instalment of the Mayor's Office livestream series ‘Talk With The People’ on 4 June, Mamdani said the initiative would focus on ensuring trans residents understand the rights and protections available to them across all five boroughs. "There are far too many trans New Yorkers who have been made to feel not only that they don't belong in the city, but that they don't enjoy the full protections of the law in this city," he said. Mamdani described New York as a "haven for queer people from across the country and across the world" and said the campaign would celebrate Pride both symbolically and through tangible action. He added that his administration wants to make clear that trans New Yorkers are protected under city law and that those protections remain firmly in place.
