A poem for the occasion
HIS HONOR

What difference does the mayor make to life in New York City?
He gets to choose commissioners (it's always been a he so far);
the hundred billion dollar budget's his, he lives, should he so choose, in Gracie Mansion.
(Does that part matter? No, not really, but don't you like to say it?
Gracie Mansion.)

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.
