On Sunday, April 12th, I went to the basement nightclub in Queens.

Like usual, someone scanned my ticket at the big gate off Flushing Avenue.

I had to wait in a winding

line outside the door, went through security, and finally reached the DJ and bar. But instead of

the regular collection of twinks, dolls, and bisexuals, the room was full of city workers,

politicians, journalists, and DSA members, a decent number of which

probably were bisexual, I suppose. Technically, we were directly above the basement nightclub

in the knockdown center event venue gathered this Sunday afternoon to attend Mayor Zoran

Mamdani's 100-day address.

I'm Garrison Davis. This is It Could Happen Here, a showboat things falling apart, and

sometimes putting stuff back together. This one is one of those rare episodes focused on the

latter. Earlier this April marked Mayor Mamdani's first 100 days in office. This episode, I'll discuss

what Zoron has done these first 100 days, some of the challenges he's faced, if he's been

able to deliver on the promises of his campaign, and how he's adapted to the power and

constraints of running the biggest city in the country. And finally, what all

this could mean for the future of working class and left-wing politics in the United States.

Let's first return to the 100-day address above the basement nightclub. Upon entering the venue,

you found yourself in a museum of the administration's first 100 days.
