My name is Diana Moreno. I’m a Queens mom, an immigrant organizer, and a proud democratic socialist with @nycdsa.
I’m running to replace @ZohranKMamdani in the Assembly in the upcoming special election to deliver on his affordability agenda and fight the rising tide of fascism.

For years, I’ve seen journalists cover the “manosphere” as a random group of friends who show up on each other’s podcasts. Today, I and other reporters published a story firmly showing how these YouTubers boost each other and politicians while steering male culture to the right

eric adams crossing out MLK for trump on his schedule is a little too on the nose
After putting out a press schedule at midnight last night showing events in NYC for MLK Day, Mayor Eric Adams' office basically did a bait and switch 8 hours later by canceling the entire sked and updating it to say he's going to the inauguration

As a reminder: the New York Times published a wave of extremely dubiously-reported stories that pushed right-wing transphobic fears into the mainstream, which paved the way for the political climate we're in now. Fuck that institution forever.
Can someone explain to me why the NYT wrote an article that made it seem like teen top surgeries are OUT OF CONTROL when they could only verify that 11 clinics in the whole country did them, meanwhile also noting
![“Experts say that adolescent top surgeries were less frequent than cosmetic breast procedures performed on [cis] teenagers…3200 breast implants and 4700 breast reductions in 2020, according to American Society of Plastic Surgeons”](/pic/orig/media%2FFdlmxfrXgAEXL4l.jpg)

hideous behavior
#Israel is devastating south #Lebanon’s civilian infrastructure. Today it hit the main water facility in Tyre, which provides clean water to the area & is inside the @UNESCO world heritage site boundary designated to protect the city’s ancient Roman ruins. Tyre’s local chief was killed in the attack.
