the way people on this website treat claudia makes me honest to god lose a little faith in humanity. luckily the way claudia lives her life—principled, empathetic, committed to both joy and justice—helps me regain it. still, i wish these losers would LEAVE HER ALONE.
When I had to watch the full video w/ sound, to testify before a grand jury and secure an indictment, I was almost surprised to see myself doing all the things the internet had been insisting I hadn't done — while the ADA told me: "You acted so quickly. You did everything right."
i'm so proud of my friend @CLAUDIAPOSTING
I talked to News 12 about NYC Councilwoman Vickie Paladino's gross & dangerous lies about me — regarding the murder of my late boyfriend, Ryan Thoresen Carson — as part of her ongoing disinformation & intimidation campaign against @ZohranKMamdani & countless other New Yorkers.

a sitting councilwoman using her official socials to continue to parrot the same outright lies that ultra right-wing racist/misogynist trolls have been spewing for over a year to harass Claudia - @NYCSpeakerAdams will you take action?

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
deeply grateful to speak at the astoria watch party for the next mayor of the greatest city in the world, @ZohranKMamdani, and every single person who made this happen; i closed with this quote from ryan after he won his fight against cuomo to open overdose prevention centers:
i need you to imagine what it was like to be next to @CLAUDIAPOSTING when she realized there was a Zohran table at Nowadays. unmatched level of sheer joy.
Night number two of the 24/7 campaign for @ZohranKMamdani We’re at Jefferson L ! We’re at Nowadays ! We’re at Basement ! People are hyped!!!!
