I feel like Mamdani is who the mayor would be if Lin-Manuel wrote the character and penned his refrain. In the best possible way

This is the America I grew up believing in!
“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

If this doesn't just break your heart, you don't have one. This was her last Christmas...

🌈Homosexual Activity Alert!🌈

Apparently I was Judy Garland's no. 39 most frequent listener worldwide on Spotify this year.

It also said I was 88. I'm pretty sure I can sue Spotify for a hate crime.

Everyone will be relieved to learn that miraculously among the old slangy English words, “boondoggle” is not of racist origin!! It’s from a leather lanyard doohicky that the Boy Scouts invented in the v early 20th C!

Claiming that Danger Mango fellating Bill Clinton makes him our first LGBT President is James Buchanan erasure, and I won't stand for it.

Any day now I expect to wake up in bed next to Suzanne Pleshette on November 9, 2016, and find out this was all a bad dream!

They say you should only speak good of the dead.

Dick Cheney is dead.

Y'all. This is incomprehensible. Everyone and everything on Jamaica will be affected. I'm twitching just imagining a storm of this magnitude.

It's almost Halloween. This isn't (or at least wasn't) normal.
