We visited Renee Good's memorial.
There, we met a group of Somali Minnesotans — who too have been viciously attacked for weeks — warmly hosting everyone.
Flowers & stuffed animals galore.
Neighbors continually offering sambusas & hand-warmers & water.
Grief. And belief.

I couldn't understand how he wasn't weeping then I realized he was ♥
Mamdani's entire Big Block of Cheese Day video is worth watching, but in particular, his chat with Samina, a Pakistani woman who reminds me of my Bengali mom, made me tear up.
I think her English is perfectly intelligible. But it's amazing to see how eloquent she becomes once they switch into Urdu.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office.
Democrats swept all 13.
That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular).
They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.
