Thank you Zohran Mamdani! And you don’t officially become mayor until next month; getting excited about your administration
New York City went 12 days without a murder in November / December. That's tied for the longest stretch in history, according to the NYPD. As someone who was here when there were 6+ murders per day in this town, it continues to amaze me how safe the place is.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Yesterday @fossiltreaty.bsky.social President Kumi Naidoo rushed into his 5th speaking engagement of the day at #cop30 looking uncharacteristically upset. “Tzeporah,” he said “I lost it. I don’t even remember what I said. I am so sorry. I got emotional.”
I found the clip from his panel.
