Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

"Three garden petunias burst forth in vivid purple, each bloom shaped like a soft trumpet with deep magenta centers that seem to glow from within. Their petals are smooth and slightly ruffled at the edges, radiating outward like ceremonial flares against the grayscale world around them. The rest of the image is rendered in black and white, creating a stark contrast that elevates the petunias into mythic prominence. Leaves, stems, and blades of grass weave a tangled background in shades of gray, their textures muted and ghostlike. Among them, two pale white flowers linger in the background—quiet, almost spectral—while the purple petunias command the foreground like sovereign emissaries of color. The selective coloring technique makes the petunias appear as if they’ve been blessed by light itself, glowing defiantly in a monochrome field. Their presence feels intentional, almost ceremonial, as if the garden paused to honor their bloom." - Microsoft Copilot

Petunias in Rebellion

These purple garden petunias feature five-petaled, tubular blooms with a yellow center that appears almost illuminated. In this photograph, the leaves are rendered in drab, nearly black-and-white tones—an artificial effect. In the original image the foliage is a vibrant green.

"A single branch adorned with bright orange and red leaves stretches across the foreground of a vibrant forest scene. The leaves blaze like embers against a backdrop of green pine needles and muted tree trunks, creating a vivid contrast that signals autumn’s arrival. The colors are rich and saturated, with the reds leaning toward crimson and the oranges glowing like firelight. The forest behind is layered and textured—trunks rise vertically, some in shadow, others catching light. Pine needles cluster in soft tufts, adding depth and a sense of quiet continuity. The lighting is gentle but purposeful, illuminating the fiery leaves while leaving the background in a cooler, subdued palette. It feels like a moment suspended between seasons, where summer’s green still lingers but fall’s flame has begun to take hold. There’s no movement, no wildlife—just the quiet drama of color and contrast. The photograph, signed “Swede’s Photographs” in the bottom right corner, captures not just a forest, but a ceremonial shift in the natural ledger." - Microsoft Copilot

Into the Forest

This is a view through a narrow gap between trees in the forest. Tree trunks frame the scene on either side, with pine needles and scattered leaves layered above and below the opening. Beyond the gap, a single branch adorned in autumn colors catches the light.

Reporter: “The president posted on True Social that the voting underway in California is ‘rigged.’ What evidence does he have of that?”

Leavitt: “There’s fraud in California’s elections. It’s just a fact.”

Reporter: “What’s the evidence of that, though?”

Leavitt: “It is just a fact.”
