We lost one of the people off the coach so we had to leave them behind. We waited an hour, and informed the police. Hope you are feeling better.

From Mamdani speech from: "And while we cast our ballots alone, we chose hope together." to: "And we won because we insisted that no longer would politics be something that is done to us. Now, it is something that we do."
Hope over big money and small ideas.

Segment from Mamdani speech from: "Now, I know many have heard our message only through the prism of misinformation. Tens of millions of dollars have been spent to redefine reality ..." to "We refuse to let them dictate the rules of the game anymore. They can play by the same rules as the rest of us."
Preach.

This is what hope and visionary leadership sound like. Amazing speech.

Rule of working at a publisher's: when picking a random example to make a point about e.g. publication process,it always turns out to be about genitals or horrid skin condition.Not a medical publisher? Doesn't matter - somewhere in your content lurk genitals and rashes waiting for their moment.
