This is a good point — it is genuinely very bad for coverage of protests to crowd out coverage of the thing.

But, like, it’s weird to organize protests and then complain that they are getting covered. That just goes to show protesting isn’t always a good idea.

Khaleel Anderson also thinks a direct connection between the airports would be good, again for reasons I don't understand. Very few travelers transfer between airports, and it's always folks who aren't staying in NYC. No need to spend money on this.

It's too much mindshare both in terms of Dems worrying about appeasing leftist defectors and also too much mindshare in terms of Dems getting angry about leftist defectors.

The Biden 2020 voters who are defecting self-ID as moderate/conservative!

Despite some reflexive anti-police sentiment on X, formerly known as Twitter, it seems like the NYPD did a good job with a good amount of professionalism and cleared an occupied building without any significant injuries.

-When informed about them, the % of Republicans who say they'd consider RFK nearly doubles.

it's really important to acknowledge when seemingly intractable problems start changing.

There's a lot of fatalism today, and a lot of people who build reputations and careers peddling the idea that reform is a fool's errand

We are charging a tailgate site fee to each tent in the protester encampment. It’ll automatically appear on bursar accounts. We know who you are—thank you for putting your SIDs on your phones!

Cannot emphasize enough that Trump does not have any ideas to reduce inflation.

I’m all for new tent encampments, but before you build them you should need to engage with the stakeholders in a series of community meetings, have some design review, and ensure that the tents align with the existing character of the community.
