He seems to be enjoying himself and I’m down w that.

For various reasons big city mayors are expected to govern like they’re a congressman from Indiana so people are really not ready for someone saying “you don’t live here, who cares what you think”

Drawing of first Emancipation Day celebration in DC in 1866.
