The great American playwright Clifford Odets wrote a play in 1935 in which a lab assistant is offered a big raise to work on a secret project to develop chemical weapons, and also to spy on his coworker. Not only does the guy immediately refuse & quit his job, he PUNCHES THE BOSS IN THE FACE 👑👑👑
Excerpt from "Waiting for Lefty" FAY: That's a big job for foreigners. MILL: But sneaking—and making poison gas—that's for Americans? FAY: It's up to you. MILL: My mind's made up. FAY: No hard feelings? MILL: Sure hard feelings! I'm not the civilized type, Mr. Fayette. Nothing suave or sophisticated about me. Plenty of hard feelings! Enough to want to bust you and all your kind square in the mouth! [Does exactly that.] BLACKOUT

That's my mayor!
Still from video in which Zohran says "For us, it's that we need to build more housing" Still from video "and we also need to make sure that for the public sector" Still from video: "that housing that we're building is immediately affordable." Still from video: "It's something they can see themselves in."

This is New York City. We stand ON line (not *in* line), we are WALKIN' here (twice as fast as you), we ALL speak a bit of Yiddish no matter our background (you got a little schmutz on your face there, bubbeleh), and we form EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENTS to our bodega cats (RIP, Snowy).

Some light reading ahead of @demsocialists.bsky.social convention this week (cc @housethefuture.bsky.social)

(From MLK Jr's last book, "Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?")
The federal government should be subsidizing housing activities on such a scale that all American housing meets at least minimal standards of adequacy. Housing is too important to be left to private enterprise with only minor government effort to shape policy. We need the equivalent of a Medicare for housing.

Here's how I know what @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @socialists.nyc pulled off last week was groundbreaking: I've never seen this option on a public opinion poll before, but it's there now
Screenshot from online poll: Q65: Do you consider yourself conservative, moderate, or liberal? ○ Very conservative ○ Somewhat conservative ○ Moderate ○ Liberal ○ Progressive ○ Democratic Socialist ○ Not sure

I see it's TACO TUESDAY again #taco
Screenshot of NY Times liveblog: 3 hours ago Tyler Pager, White House reporter President Trump suggested he was open to pushing back the July 4 deadline he set for the passage of his sprawling domestic policy bill in Congress. “I’d love to do July 4, but I think it’s very hard to do July 4,” he told reporters on Tuesday morning on the South Lawn of the White House. Trump still said that he wanted the bill to pass soon and that it would be “very wise” for all Republicans to get on board.

Love it when centrist NYC pols are now fighting each other over who's the bigger NIMBY

The suggestion that the City Council is the main obstacle to housing has also, in particular, irked Ms. Adams, who ran an unsuccessful campaign for mayor. She has said the mayor’s commission was only created to block the Council’s commission from pursuing ways to give lawmakers better oversight over the administration. She is supporting a bill the State Legislature passed this year to allow both commissions to put measures on the same ballot, though it is unclear whether Gov. Kathy Hochul will sign it. Ms. Adams has pointed to how the mayor recently walked away from a contentious development in Lower Manhattan that the Council had approved. “This shows the Mayor’s Charter Revision Commission to be the height of hypocrisy and a sham for ignoring the role mayoral administrations play in obstructing new housing for New Yorkers,” she said last month.

You absolutely love to see it. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is pro-housing.
3. Should the Elizabeth Street Garden in Manhattan be closed to build affordable housing? Yes. 4. What’s one issue in politics that you’ve changed your mind about? The role of the private market in housing construction. How so? I clearly recognize now that there is a very important role to be played, and one that city government must facilitate through the increasing of density around mass transit hubs, the ending of the requirement to build parking lots, as well as the need to up-zone neighborhoods that have historically not contributed to affordable housing production — namely, wealthier neighborhoods. I think all these things, in tandem with a muscular role for the public sector. But that is a changing opinion over time that I’ve been in office.

I'm reading Bram Stoker's Dracula courtesy of draculadaily.substack.com and so far I'm enjoying the White Lotus-like vibe of Harker, a native of the British Empire at its peak, doing poverty tourism in late 19th-c Eastern Europe, commenting on the unpunctual trains and strange dress of the peasants.
