Finally! An election night that didn’t end with me crying and rage-screaming into my pillow. New York City elected our first actual progressive, Muslim, South Asian mayor. Zohran Kwame Mamdani just made history, beating out Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa in the most theatrical election the city’s seen in decades.
