NYC, your job is not yet done. Mamdani did not win by the requisite 50 percent plus one to guarantee his win. After that, there is still the general election. Do not become complacent. Also, keep in mind the old guard will pull out every stop now to keep Mamdani out. Follow the money.

Pope: “It is distressing to see the principle of ‘might makes right’ in many situations today for the sake of legitimizing the pursuit of self-interest. It is troubling to see the force of international & humanitarian law is no longer binding, replaced by the alleged right to coerce others.”

Canadians make up the largest proportion—nearly 28 percent—of international travelers visiting Florida. They also comprise the largest number of international visitors for the entire United States.
But that comfortable relationship may be taking a turn.

The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. It may not be the battle we wanted, but it is the one we face. The state of our democracy and the future of our country depends on our willingness to take risks, ignore the naysayers, weather setbacks and fight fiercely for democracy.
