Michelle Obama: "No one has the right to sit in judgment of who is American enough. And that's why, folks, we simply don't have the luxury or time to be cynical or complacent."
this is honestly an excellent celebratory and motivational speech from Mamdani at the Knicks parade. i'm ready to run through a wall, and i'm not even a Knicks fan
Michelle Obama notes that Barack accomplished "winning a peace prize" 😆
Talarico: I was required by law to report any indication there was abuse at home, and I would hope that the top law enforcement official in Texas would be held to the same standard as a middle school teacher. Ken Paxton had the opportunity to protect a child, but instead he protected a predator

Best part of Mamdani's Knicks speech? The heartfelt shoutouts to Thibs, Julius, Donte, RJ, and Quickley. (Noteable and appropriate that he omitted both iHart and Toppin, imho.)
Absolutely bonkers leaderboard on Day 1 at the US Open. DJ?!
Mamdani dropping a “you trying to get the pipe” reference would hit the aging basketblogging community like an atom bomb.
And Dolan. He didn't mention Dolan. Absolute legend.
A city overcome by happiness, indeed!!!

Mamdani's speech at the Knicks parade was easily the best I've ever heard at an event of that sort. I posted the whole thing on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Highly recommended.
