During my town hall, someone asked me what they could do to stand up to authoritarianism. Despite what the cynics say, you have power. All it takes is one person speaking up for somebody else. It is small acts that can change the course of this country.

The Mamdani proposal is apparently to phase out tracking in K-1-2, *not* higher grades. It does seem like a good idea - to let smart kids meet one another - *not* to ask 4-year-olds to take entrance exams How to balance these? Not clear!

Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country. I will be there on October 18th, and I hope you will be too. #NoKings snyder.substack.com/p/no-kings-fre…
