This moment says everything about why Zohran Mamdani won.
A journalist in a wheelchair asked about accessibility and Mamdani didn’t talk down to him, didn’t deflect, didn’t politicize it. He listened.
He’s the kind of leader who respects everyone, every faith, every class, every flag.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

My 7yo was excited to show me that she completed her homework all by herself. She said she looked up quotes on her tablet and this was her favorite.
Do I tell her it’s falsely attributed or naw just roll with it?

I went to a block party tonight here in MAGAland.
We live near a large military base - so the majority are: active duty, retired, base/fed, defense industry.
A pair of 40sh dudes were talking about retiring soon; both are eager for their retirement pay on top of a civilian job.

UNMUTE. And look after your people.
You have neighbors who might be struggling? Show up like “help I made too much bread, would you like some, I won’t use it all in time”
Invite the next door kids over to help you make cookies, feed them lunch while they’re there.

Most likely don’t have this on the Election Day radar, but felony disenfranchisement is on the ballot next week in Virginia, an unusually harsh state for denying voting rights to people with criminal records. Major reform may be coming there, and Tuesday is pivotal.
