Thank you so much - what a beautiful show!
Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.
SO PROUD OF OUR DAUGHTER Hadden who headed up the campaign for Chelsea Dickey for Mayor of Graham -who just WON!!!!!!!!!! Thrilled at all the wins in Alamance tonight and NJ, VA, NYC etc !!!!!! #HOPE !! Congratulations Chelsea and team❗️#proudmama
