A year ago, I came up with the phrase Doom Dopamine: the unconscious reward we give people for spreading doom.
Take a minute to like positive posts.
Cause when alarmist content goes viral & positive posts get 5 likes, it engineers our brains to think doom is rewarding & positivity is not. 🧵

NBC or ABC could make a fortune by hiring the 60 Minutes staff lock, stock, and barrel, then relaunching it under a slightly different name. 2 Minutes 2 60 or something.

🚨5 Important reminders about Leandro🚨
1) It is unambiguous that students’ rights continue to be violated
Nobody in the NCGA has presented the case that they're upholding students’ constitutional rights. Their argument has simply been: courts can't make us do stuff against our will.

Did you know NC is the only state without a budget right now? Lawmakers’ inaction is putting us at risk, and the longer we go without a budget, the more strain it places on families across our state.
It's time to invest in our communities, #NCGA.

NC budget stalemate deepens strain on safety nets, health system, advocates and providers say
Food insecurity is rising, Medicaid cuts are hitting and essential services are shrinking as the legislature’s budget deadlock deepens strain on safety nets. Vulnerable residents are feeling the fallout first, providers say, and they’re calling on lawmakers to end the standoff.

This is the kind of sermonizing we heard from the nuns in the 70’s - and we just rolled our eyes, snickered, and rolled up the waist of our uniforms.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

These ICE raids are about cruelty and creating a climate of fear. Their actions were so reckless that parents no longer felt school was safe this week.
Well our community showed them that we are unified, and ICE bailed the next day.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

Mamdani: NO SLEEP TIL BROOKLYN.
Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.
As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.
Tomorrow, we win it together.

Residents of Lakeview, Chicago drove ICE out—literally. When agents tear-gassed a lunch-hour worksite near Wrigley Field, neighbors poured into the street, filming, blowing whistles, and shouting them off the block.
