People think that being trans in a Blue state means you're safe. But no one is safe when there is rising authoritarianism with a focus on gender identity. Thanks to @NPRMichel for having this important conversation on @AmanpourCoPBS @translashmedia

The NWS has confirmed that only a trace of snow fell at Central Park (NYC) today before the changeover to rain. This does not qualify as measurable snowfall. As a result, today will be the 322nd consecutive day without measurable snowfall in NYC.

It was an honor to attend the swearing in today of @NYSComptroller @TishJames @DelgadoforNY and @GovKathyHochul
Being able to do so just before the birth of my child was even more special and reminds me what I'm fighting for!
