Republicans keep warning about/pining for 2025 protests to be like the mad summer of 2020. And 2025 protesters, with very few exceptions, keep on declining to take the bait.

The thing about Mamdani's election night speech was that it was A) pretty late in the evening, and therefore, B) written *very* carefully. Which is why his line about "no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about" stuck in my craw.

About 700 people in Downtown Brooklyn’s Cadman Plaza. Median age is … me. Mostly anti-monarchical, anti-ICE, pro-immigrant, anti-Trump. Zero Middle East content, no speakers (thank God), six bored cops.

Social media is -- not was, *is* -- a mistake, I argue. (In a YouTube clip of a podcast episode that I'm sharing on social media.)
