Last night, @mehdirhasan had a very important personal announcement… and a lot of thoughts on what it means to be an American at this moment in history.

One of my favorite parts was, "I work here. I pay taxes. I want to vote!" Onion Headline: "British subject seeks taxation with representation joins resistance 244 years late." 😂 Welcome to America, sir! Glad to have you on our team! 🇺🇲

Congrats! A sad loss for Britain, a gain for the US but a voice for all.

Thanks for your rousing pre-oath speech. I swore mine in Oakland on June 11th 2012. I've found the last 4 years hard & I've doubted & questioned myself daily, especially after in SF a man screamed "why don't you fuck of back to England?" & I'm white. Your words soothed, welcome

Welcome, Mehdi! I look forward to your contributions and your critiques. We will be a better country with you as a citizen. And thanks for your input and efforts before your ceremony. See, you already have a blue ribbon legacy established.
