the term "goated" is sadly thrown about with wanton abandon these days, but here, it's apt. tascha is truly goated. brilliant, kind, endlessly patient, and without peer in the immensely important work she leads. tascha reinvented what can be expected of field. she made history.
Tascha gave so many people the courage to knock that first door, make that first call and build the bridges with our neighbors that got us this far. Together, we fought for a city for all of us. Now, we’ll build a City Hall for all of us.

This Black Friday we tip our tinfoil hat to you. We’re not a billion dollar tech giant or a shadowy overseas conglomerate. We’re not endorsed by the World Economic Forum and we don’t route your traffic through mystery handsets or hire cyber mercenaries with questionable LinkedIn

We had a lot of fun making Until It’s Done over these last few months. A love letter to New York and a statement of intent for what Zohran will achieve from City Hall. A privilege to close with Vito Marcantonio’s story. And a daily honor to watch @Boringstein make amazing art.
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future. Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Zohran Mamdani is in City Hall Park today for a huge press conference with organized labor allies. "This city for too long has served the wealthy and powerful at the expense of those working at sunrise and sunset."

“It reminded me of Obama’s speech on race in 2008,” said Moustafa Bayoumi, an English professor at Brooklyn College. “Addressing [prejudice] head on, instead of taking the high road of silence.” https://t.co/YAwEfbTSKF

Mamdani says he’s running on a “BEC” platform - “Bringing economic change - with a side of jalapeño” (instead of “bacon egg and cheese”)

In case you're interested in reading the words @ZohranKMamdani delivered to over 13,000 New Yorkers at a rapturous Forest Hills Stadium last night.
At a rally last night in Queens, New York, with Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Zohran Mamdani addressed a crowd of 13,000: “For too long, freedom has belonged only to those who can afford to buy it.”

"There is one thing I will change. I will no longer look for myself in the shadows. I will find myself in the light."
The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

this kind of hateful rhetoric is what you would expect from the Front National, or AfD, or Stephen Miller. truly staggering to hear it from the Mayor of New York.
Adams says he is "fighting for the families of New York" and "Black and brown communties," after suggesting and -- immediately trying to clean up -- this Islamophobic comment about what a @ZohranKMamdani election would mean:

What keeps New Yorkers up at night are not the right-wing fever dreams of Andrew Cuomo. It's whether or not they can keep living in the city they love. I'm the only candidate on stage tonight with a vision for the future and a plan to bring down costs.

“Overstayed its welcome by hundreds of days. Makes New Yorkers uncomfortable and miserable. Something we should relegate to the past, instead of bringing with us into the future. Believe it or not, I'm not speaking about Andrew Cuomo. I am talking about … scaffolding”

We believe that in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, working people deserve a dignified life. And to the billionaires who think this movement is an existential threat to their corruption of our democracy: you're right.
