btw print media turnaround time means that since we spoke, Canada did lose its measles elimination status! Also likely to happen in the US. COVID denialism continues to fuel grim failures in disease prevention & eradication.
Canada loses measles elimination status, with US on track to follow
The country hasn't been able to curb an outbreak of more than 5,000 cases over the last year, while US cases are at a 33-year high.

And this is exactly what I was saying about Mamdani. Yes, he emphasized policy, but there was also this overarching vision. And the two go hand in hand, perfectly compatible, with one tracing the outlines of the other.
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.
