This is one of the areas where Z has cowered: as candidate, he clearly opposed continuing the SHSAT; as mayor, he has either reversed his position or at least equivocated. Racial equity—particularly for NYC's Black students—requires that we push Z to recommit to ending SHSAT-based admissions.

The perspective conveyed by Christopher Robbins here is quite bad for the Left (read: classist + racist). Normally I wouldn't QP such pieces, but since his view reflects that of many (maybe most) white Leftists I know, and since I've 15 min to spare before my first thing today, let's get into it. 🧵

From Stonewall to No Kings, protest is part of New York City's DNA.⁠ ⁠ But the so-called "buffer zone" legislation recently passed by the City Council would seriously restrict rallies, marches, and other forms of protest - essentially outlawing protest across large swathes of the five boroughs. ⁠
A photo of Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his wife, Rama Duwaji. The text on the graphic reads "Mayor Mamdani Must Veto NYC Buffer Zone Bills and Protect Free Speech". The NYCLU logo is centered at the bottom.A photograph of people at a crowded protest holding homemade signs. Text reads "Just says before a record-breaking No Kings march, the New York City Council passed dangerous legislation that would severely curtail protests like it."A photo of City Council Speaker Julie Menin at podium with a mic. Text reads "The City Council passed Intros. 001-B and 175-B, which would stifle protest outside of places of religious worship and educational facilities, respectively. We need Mayor Mamdani to veto these bills and protect our right to protest."

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.
