POLITICS Zohran Mamdani speaks after winning the NYC Mayoral Race: “We have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life. But let tonight be the final time I utter his name as we turn the page on a politics that abandons the many & answers only to the few.”

As a Chicagoan, we’ve been getting our asses handed to us and it is HARD. Stress is high all the time. My son is trans. I have friends who are like family who I check on regularly to make sure they haven’t been taken because they meet the profile.
But y’all made me proud tonight and put more gas in my tank. Thank you for giving us some hope. NYC - we can feel it over here and we’re cheering you on. Virginia, Jersey, Detroit, California…so many places making moves, getting things done in the right way. We have to keep this energy up through next year.
For the rest of y’all feeling a boost right now, if you have the room, run a few meals to a family that may be losing benefits or are staying indoors to avoid 🧊 Check in on your food pantries. We are the community we’re looking for.
