Mamdani's victory is a bfd. Local elections matter. Trump and his hideous flying monkeys want us afraid. Some Democrats have been hiding their faces, others are trying to regroup. These elections show that those who refuse to abandon trans Americans, who refuse to cower before the hateful Republican agenda, can win handily. It's a message. It means, we're not giving up. We defy you, Stephen Miller. Andrew Cuomo, we reject you.

It was still a sub 25% voter turnout. I want to believe this means tides are turning but I don't know.
