Mamdani went to a small college similar to the one where I work and majored in Africana Studies. From now on my answer to the microaggressive question of “what can one (even) do with a Black Studies degree from a liberal arts college?” is “You can run New York.”

Overall trust in #media continues to slide in US, dipping below 30% in recent poll. More telling is the ideological divide: 8% for Republicans and 51% for Democrats.
