Got a good quote in this piece www.wbur.org/news/2026/10...
Unsurprisingly, some progressives push back on Frank’s critique. Jonathan Cohn, policy director for Progressive Massachusetts, said advocating for progressive change— even change that lots of people aren't ready for — is necessary to move the needle.

"People want to push for the most that you can do," Cohn said. "Not everything you ask for will happen on day one, but if there's no regular pushing for doing more, we don't even get anything at all."

These kids were maybe six or seven years old when Trump's "grab 'em by the pussy" remark came to public light. Practically their entire lives have been shaped by public figures openly treating women (and people of color and immigrants) as property. Where do we even start with the deconditioning

Auto transcription (I was curious, sharing for access. Agree this is fantastic.)
Screenshot of a transcript. It says: “Exactly right, but I want to say a couple things. One thing about cities that I found in this reporting: cities are very unfairly labeled as these problem centers by Donald Trump and others. And one thing is worth remembering: if you look at the population of well, all people in cities, particularly people who come to cities from elsewhere, but particularly homeless and other vulnerable people in cities, look at youth homeless. A pretty large chunk of those people who end up in cities were failed in some other parts of this country. Okay, in the fraction of youth homeless who are LGBTQ, whatever, pretty high. So there are a lot of families in this country who fail the first duty of family, which is to love your kids more than any other thing, and there's a lot of families in this country that look at some verse in some book, and their child's face, and choose theSecond screenshot says: “verse in the book over their child's face, and drive their children out of Nebraska or out of Florida or out of Idaho, and those kids come to San Francisco, and those kids come to New York, and those kids go to Chicago, and we have friends giving dinners with them. You live in L.A. You are surrounded by people who have those kind of stories, and so cities. Every time someone is sleeping on a subway bench in a city, the rest of America can sort of say, "Ah, look at these cities.” But we are holding a lot of your people who you fail to love and take care of.

The NYT is ok with extremist ideology as an anecdote in a profile—but highly allergic to any deeper examination of the ideology itself. No one gets to write an op-ed explaining any of this. That’s not allowed. But a billionaire can drop it in a quote as a passing comment.

When asked about the common problem of women abused by cops and guards in exchange for the chance to see their children, I said that the proper way to understand this was that incarceration is so terrible, so abusive, that, yes, submitting to abuse was a rational choice.
