There's a sizeable outrage that Mayor Mamdani is swearing his oath on the Quaran.
It is best known that people usually swear in on the Christian Bible, but you can swear on any book you want.
If im ever elected to office, my oath book will be The Souls of Black Folk

2025 took a toll on the world’s journalists. "Worldwide, the 126 media industry people killed in 2025 by early December matched the number of deaths in all of 2024.... The [CPJ] estimates there are at least 323 journalists imprisoned worldwide." www.courthousenews.com/a-rough-year...

Worldwide, the 126 media industry people killed in 2025 by early December matched the number of deaths in all of 2024, and last year was a record-setter.

This is a great start to 2026, I hope that Zohran Mamdani will be able to achieve his full potential as New York Mayor and bring a new age to New York City.
“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Update on NYC… It is doing fine and will likely do better under the current Mayor. The Addams Administration was pretty corrupt and his propensity to play nice with Trump was what got Mamdani elected.
