NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani uses July 4 address to call for asylum

Zohran Mamdani: "We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world — one where children go to sleep hungry while the world’s first trillionaire hungers for more. We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections.

Zohran Mamdani: Those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics, and the cheapest. But time and again, those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress.

“I think we are seeing a hunger that is not just felt by New Yorkers, but frankly by Americans from coast to coast, for a new kind of politics, one that puts working people at the heart of it.” Mayor Zohran Mamdani

As Zohran Mamdani so eloquently stated, American exceptionalism of late, is that of being shockingly cruel & shitty, in a police state filled with abject inequality. The solution is healthcare, housing, decent wages & working conditions, public transportation, childcare, and elder care FOR ALL.

Zohran Mamdani: America is exceptional because nothing is fixed in place. The frontier may be closed and we’ve walked on the moon, but the work of fulfilling the values in the Declaration of Independence endures. And that work belongs to us all. Together, we move forward.
