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.

Congratulations on your citizenship!!
Great commentary. I was 28 when I immigrated to🇨🇦from 🇬🇧. I had considered 🇺🇸 but picked 🇨🇦. (Dodged a bullet?) I have never had the feelings that Mehdi lays out here. Perhaps my whiteness and atheism goes unnoticed? Good Luck, Mehdi.
Excellent 👏👏 So well articulated what we all feel !
A United States of America-type of American. Congratulations!
Yay, Mehdi. Congratulations and welcome❣️ Delighted you have your own show, so well deserved. You are an interviewer extraordinaire. 🎉
I guess you need to start fixing your accent if you’re going to assimilate like the document says 🤷‍♂️
Replying to @mehdirhasan
Here’s the ‘fellow American’ welcome letter from Trump that I got. It’s not bad, by his standards. But he obviously didn’t write it - not just because of the pro-immigrant sentiment but also...there are no typos or spelling errors in it. I’m so used to his random Capitalizations.
So happy for you, Mehdi! Congratulations! (My husband took his oath last August so, as you note, he could VOTE.) All the best to you! Welcome! Welcome!
Congrats, Mehdi! America needs more journalists, and Americans, like you!
