On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city.
This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

The debt, deportation, and death bill has passed. Congress further decimates care work to fund violence work.
Vital services eviscerated and ICE becomes the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency ever known. It hasn’t been sold this way, but it’s a massive public jobs program for fascists.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

If Customs and Border Protection takes your phone at an airport/border, they can run it through tech that analyzes your texts, pictures, and social connections.

The profound misrepresentation of Zohran’s positions (on police, Israel) and the viability/scale of his policy platform (modest tax increases for small-scale pilot programs) by Democrats and the media are what you would expect from bad faith opponents, which makes me think that's who they are.

I'm incredibly happy for and proud of New Yorkers, and also for the idea, opposed and despised by all the worst and most powerful people in American society, that things are worth doing because you believe they're right and just and good.

From now through November, we're gonna hear about how NYC is different and how we cannot think that what works here will work everywhere.
But this part absolutely will: Create an active (not reactive) vision for what the world could be. Motivate people to build that world together, with you. Win.

You cannot expect to get new people to believe in you, to donate time and resources, to knock on doors and call voters and walk through the street with you, if you are just saying "well, Republicans have framed the issues right, they just have gone too far on the solutions."

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.
