I try not to get overly emotionally attached to politicians, and god knows I have criticisms of both Bernie and Mamdani, but this is a genuinely cool moment. Bernie passing on the torch.

Mamdani: Where else can you hear the sound of the steel pan, savor the smell of sancocho, and pay $9 for coffee on the same block? Where else could a Muslim kid like me grow up eating bagels and lox every Sunday?

Mamdani’s message is as American as apple pie, and that’s why he drives reactionaries of many different political stripes crazy.

As of today, I am a FULL professor. I do not care much for occupational status markers. Still, it is not lost on me that only 2% of full professors are Black women. This goes beyond personal accomplishment. It is a responsibility to do as much as I can for others. That is exactly what I aim to do.

Sinatra hated racists and would have punched Miller in the mouth.
Or as Phil Hartman's impression of Sinatra put it, "I got chunks of guys like you in my stool."

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.
