hurrah! zohran mamdani sworn in

Whatever side of the political spectrum you are aligned with, Zohran Mamdini is the sort of politician we so desperately need, both in the USA and the wider world, being gracious after winning, and offering hope and compassion, rather than hatred and division. There's been a lot of the latter in 2025, so let's cross our fingers for more of the former in 2026. Hopefully, as the great master himself Bob Dylan sang, The Times are a Changing (again). Otherwise we could be fucked.
