So cool that he was talking about dealing with potholes before he got elected as Mayor as something to deal with. Because you know who else made potholes a priority, and made it part of his social media joining council to fill them?
Mamdani, NYC's Mayor.

Props to Mohamed Semra's teachers for doing so much - getting him to speech therapy to deal with stuttering, sticking up for him, and advocating for him during the apple racial profiling incident. Teachers matter.

Australians, if you're in need of some good uplifting news, I got you:
back in 2015, Mohamed Semra was racially profiled by an Apple Store in Melbourne, where he was refused entry because he was black.

He's now Mayor of Maribynong, where that Apple store resides.
His story in on the ABC tonight, 8pm on Australian Story, backgrounder below:

At 15, Mohamed Semra made headlines. At 27, he's making history

At just 27, Mohamed Semra is not your average mayor. He overcame a childhood stutter and a viral moment in a Melbourne Apple Store to make political history – and he is just getting started.

Matt and Kate built an earthship house with recycled bottles and the help of strangers

Kate and Matt knew they had to do things differently if they ever wanted to live in their dream home. Not only did they swap the city for regional Tasmania and build a house using recycled bottles — they also relied on volunteers.
