#HappyNewYear2026 from #NewYorkCity where a change is gonna come!

Incoming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will make history as the city's first mayor to take the oath of office on a Quran. He will also be the first Muslim, South Asian, and African-born mayor.

@randomirish Its a gorgeous, huge library btw, with a very well stocked history section.

@SpiritIsland4 I know the area - well Maplewood - from many moons ago and that’s my memory of the place too. It’s clear they’re conducting a non-white head count - and it’s clear why. But if they read a history book in that library (instead of reenacting it) they’d know why that’s a v bad idea.

If this is what you’re doing in a library you must never have been to one.

@randomirish I was school librarian in St Paul for a few years, we had lots of kids from Maplewood as students whose parents had grown up in the hood but moved to burbs to raise families but wanted kids schooled in the city to dodge racism, etc. Similar phenom in Richfield, Bloomington.
