Because if you just want to complain, I’m not interested, and I’ll just mute you. Like I said, screaming despair in a public place is actually toxic, self-fulfilling behavior.
But also?
I bet if you say “ok, I’ll do this one thing,” YOU’LL feel better, and less doomery.

something i’ve been thinking about a lot is kennedy’s FREEDOM FROM FEAR and his argument that many of the New Dealers - FDR first and foremost - were much more focused on social and economic stability than on growth for its own sake, a position that is pretty distinct from the Abundance mindset

A small number of people whose extreme wealth exerts a political gravitational force that distorts the entire political system is bad, actually. It has been recognized as a threat to free liberal republican government since the first time it emerged in the Gilded Age.

If the US invested in child care and had national policies like paid leave comparable to other industrialized countries, we would generate $775 billion of economic activity a year. The question should not be, “how can we afford to do this?” The question is, “how can we afford not to?” Let’s do this.

something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things
they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore

every white supremacist for the rest of my life is going to point to the secret police terrorizing latino and Somali communities with ethnic pogroms and say this is the way you stop crime
The murder rate dropped by 20% in 2025, the largest U.S. decline ever recorded
Crime in the U.S. fell in 2025. Will the trend continue?
Crime rates dropped across much of the U.S. in 2025. That was true for both property and violent crime. And it declined nearly everywhere: In big cities and small towns, and in red and blue states.

Legislators need to pronounce this proposal as dead on arrival. The climate crisis is getting worse, and Trump is determined to stop climate action. We need these funds to go to build the infrastructure and services needed to reduce climate pollution - as voters made clear when they approved it.

An exceptionally stupid and contingent set of circumstances made Stephen Miller the most influential ideologue in the US. There is no future for the left or liberalism that does not take as a core mission ensuring he is punished for his crimes & no one as hateful as him is ever close to power again.

One thing I talk about in my book is different social norms around argumentation. And the sheer fucking outrage that many feel towards the uncompromising norms in math and the hard sciences around whether something is true or not. They read this as unempathetic and tyrannical.

Helping people that need help is moral and good but it’s no substitute for a robust public safety net funded by state redistribution of wealth.

Averages obscure much and improvement is important, but these headlines are relying on press around the "Mississippi Miracle" to paint the South with the same brush. Worse, ofc, is what these headlines attribute improvement to -- harsh discipline -- rather than what has led to gains in MS:
