Adams and Cuomo (like Trump) are NYC *provincials* -- they never outgrew their original narrow resentments. Mamdani is the kind of New Yorker who can be at home anywhere in the city because he can be at home anywhere

to be clear. what i mean by “delightful birdwatching shoutout” is the fact that some intrepid new yorker took their allotted 3 minutes with the incoming mayor to talk about serious issues related to migratory birds, and witg a passion that clearly impressed ZM. My peeps, doing me proud

spoiler alert: delightful NYC birdwatching shoutout near the end of this lovely (and tremendously moving) video of ZM’s daylong listening session
On December 14th, I sat across from 142 New Yorkers as they shared their concerns, their dreams, the leadership they long for from City Hall. Our campaign was built around listening to the people of New York, and we will govern in the same way. Tomorrow, we get to work.
