I knew Obama wasn’t going to change anything, and I didn’t vote for him, but I did go to DC for his inauguration. It was historic, and it inspired a lot of people. The energy that day was unforgettable.
I also don’t have any illusions about Mamdani, but I think it’s rad that he opened his victory speech with a Debs quote. That a dude like this can win (handily) in NY, says something significant about our historical moment
I get it. He is absolutely a war criminal. At the time of his inauguration, he hadn’t ordered any war crimes yet. I knew he would, but he also signified something important in that moment to a lot of people.

The people at that Yemeni wedding were so inspired by him, too. All for a political play to show he was “tough on terror”.
