EASY LISTENING DEP’T.: It's always been a pleasure to talk to you in the mornings about what's going on and how the press is covering it. But honestly, ever since the first Tuesday of last November, getting up in the morning and immediately surveying the state of current events has been pretty discouraging. Pretty much every day, the news has been that things are bad and they just got worse. Yesterday, however, people perceived that they had the opportunity to do something about that, and they went out and did it in genuinely astonishing numbers. More than a million people in New York City voted to make Zohran Mamdani the next mayor. With 91 % of the vote tabulated, there's a chance that he could end up collecting more votes than all the candidates put together did in the previous mayoral election. And the voters did this after Donald Trump threatened to punish the city if people elected Mamdani. In his victory speech, Mamdani told Donald Trump to turn up the volume and listen, and declared, “New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant. So hear me, President Trump, when I say this, to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.” Please visit, read, and support INDIGNITY! https://www.indignity.net/
