Union feeder March for #NoKingsNYC today
We ended up much faster than the main march and were dispersed when we hit 14th instead of joining the main march.

Also true: In any case you 100% have to spell out "F as in Frank" vs "S as in Sam," because most phone systems don't *carry* the frequencies that distinguish F from S. DAMHIK. (That's Delta Alpha Mike Hotel..)

If they're there for each other like this, against the business establishment? They'll be there for their constituents against it as well.

True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing.
Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter.
Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵

![[6] L To Calvisius.
Thave been spending all my time here among my tablets and books as quietly as I could wish.
"How is that possible," you ask, "in Rome?" Well, the Circensian games have been on, and that is a kind of spectacle which has not the slightest attraction for me. There is no novelty, no variety in it, nothing which one wants to see twice. Hence I am the more amazed that so many thousands of men * should be eager, like a pack of children, to see horses running time after time, and the charioteers bending over their cars. There might be some reason for their enthusiasm if it was the speed of the hors or the skill of the drivers that was the attraction, but it is the racing-colours which they favour, and the racing-colours that fire their love.
If, in the middle of the course and during the race itself, the colours were to be changed, their enthusiasm and partisanship would change with them, and they would suddenly desert the drivers and the horses, whom they recognise afar and whose names they shout aloud. Such is the influence and authority vested i one cheap tunic, I don't say with the common crowd, - for that is even cheaper than the tunic, - but with certain men of position; and when I consider that they can sit for so long without growing tired, looking on at such a fruitless, cheerless, and tedious sport, I really feel a sort of pleasure in the thought that what they take delight in has no charm for me. Thus it is that I have been only too glad to pass my leisure time among my books during the race-meeting, while others have been wasting their days in the most idle occupations.

This is a great piece by Suresh Naidu. Another piece along similar lines frames the Administration's tactics as the politics of humiliation: it's not enough that they win, but that they have to humiliate. And why it's futile for universities to even try. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-politi/

A difficulty of being a leftist is that we don't want to take credit for good things happening cuz all of the bad things aren't resolved. What this ends up doing is that people don't know that good things have happened because we don't take credit for those things.... The rightwing has no such pb.
