Possibly the most frustrating doomer meme is that Millennials have missed our chance and must rely on the younger generations to fix things. The youngest Millennials are 29. They can't even run for senate yet. The oldest are 44. We are just now entering our prime.

Wall Street investors should not be paying LESS in taxes than Wisconsin firefighters, teachers, and small business owners. It’s as simple as that. My bill would close this tax loophole and ensure the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share. civicmedia.us/news/2025/02...

While we're (rightfully) criticizing the dems who seem intent on rolling over, let's also amplify the voices of those who are speaking out. An official even just saying plainly what's happening is a valuable thing.

"Nobody's going to notice us holding up every single possible vote in the senate." Every single hour you soak up is one more they don't have. McConnell did it for years. Show the base you're fighting every step. If it looks boring, make it not boring. Just keep talking.

Security expert Bruce Schneier & digital ethicist Davi Ottenheimer: “The U.S. government has experienced what may be the most consequential security breach in its history.” And: “This is beyond politics — this is a matter of national security.” (via @anildash.com) [foreignpolicy.com]

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

Out with doomerism and death wishes. We can build something beautiful together. We can make life on this earth better. We don't know what we are, but we're the only ones we know about in the whole damn universe and we owe it to ourselves to survive and thrive.

It sucks that Musk has become so associated with medical ketamine use because it's a legit thing that has helped a lot of people - including me. My depression is more controlled now than it ever has been. I don't want others to shy away from treatment, or abuse it, because of that dingus.

I'm still digesting this, but I think I agree with a lot of it. I've been trying to pull myself out of doomer mode, but it's sticky and I don't think it's healthy or helpful.

This short video is best explanation I’ve seen of why the racism, sexism, and hate of the MAGA movement has getting more extreme. It’s because of a psychological concept called an extinction burst (basically, things get worse before they get better). [kottke.org]
