It's been a long, long time since I was brought to tears by a political leader's speech. Bernie came close a few times in 2016. Last night the tears flowed with these words from the new mayor of New York City:

"If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him," and if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This is not only how we stop Trump, it's how we stop the next one. Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: turn the volume up!
