This is actually the nut of it: Leadership (elected or otherwise) is not about YOU - it's about your goals and your team. It's about *them.*
Too many have forgotten that.

Old Congress persons who don't retire are doing a DISSERVICE to their country, as they're blocking the path for the next gen.
Old Reps/Sens should feel a patriotic DUTY to help launch the political career of their successor.
But most of them forgot the job's core principle: It's not about you.

keep in mind that the cruel people who either find joy in harming others or don't mind harming others to get advantages for themselves are just very loud but they are still in the minority, most people are kind but they are not loud about it and often lack the power to help as much as they'd like

Not sure if this falls into the #scrollytelling category, but this is a very clever way to use social media to show a #dataviz.
On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,
"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"
Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

You're not drowning because you were too "stupid" or "lazy" to learn how to swim; you're drowning because you were raised by people who didn't get you swimming lessons, & you're exhausted from treading water for decades.

If you are also worried about tariffs and supply chain shortages, and have the financial means to prepare, here is what I have stocked up on and plan to buy soon, plus what I would get if I had kids, a car or a larger home, based on reporting I've read or done myself in the last several months (🧵):

one of the genuine problems with the opinion attention game is that it rewards those who double down and doesn’t particularly reward introspection or intellectual humility. of course this is accelerated by the internet but frankly plenty such cases in boring, slow academia
admitting you're wrong - even if just to yourself - is Good Actually
Note that the “free speech on campus” people like Friedersdorf, Chait, Weiss, still blame this on “the excesses of woke.” Not a one - to my knowledge - has admitted they were actually wrong.

You are smarter & more effective than your trauma conditioning is letting you believe. The voices of your bullies & abusers are lying to you.
Focus in on the image & vibe of who you're becoming-- not who they want you to believe you "have to" be.

Remember: anyone's insistence that what you did go through or what you are going through "isn't that bad" has exactly zero to do w/ how bad something actually is for you, or what you need to manage it.
Your lived experience in the arena trumps their view from the cheap seats.

You're allowed to feel positive things without shame.
Feeling good does not invalidate your trauma. It does not mean "it wasn't that bad" or that you've been "faking" your symptoms or struggles-- nor does it mean you've "forgiven" your abusers or you're "over" the past.

Many things are bad, but if something good happens to you, I want you to celebrate it. Tell yourself affirmations, compliments, and encouragement. It makes a huge difference, especially over time.
I know how hard you are working. I know you are doing your best. I am so proud of you.

Young people SHOULD “have it easier” than you did. I’m sorry you got the strap up hill both ways and paid your debts with pounds of flesh, but the reason we work for progress is to make growing up and growing old gentler, easier, kinder, freer. Struggle isn’t necessary in a healthy society.
