If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

Trump is acting like he has 10 months to finish what he's started.
That more Americans don't see this as an existential problem is infuriating.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

This little lady had masses on her chest. Vet said “85% of the time this is an aggressive form of cancer, you should act now.”
Turns out we’re in the lucky 15%. Ichiban is a treasure and a trooper.

I want to talk about generative AI because of the defeatist impulses chronicled in this article. While simply expresssing a defiant attitude cannot always change lived-in reality, in certain cases it definitely can. This is in part because, early on, a conflict can exist at a perceptions level. 1/?

This is Suleiman the Magnificent (aka Monsieur Bisous/Mr. Kisses). He is half Great Pyrenees so he wants to be protective of the house but he’s scared of everything so that makes it difficult. And, yes, I apply his mascara daily.

Sasha Belle lives only for breakfast, dinner, walks and cuddling. She needs nothing else out of this life (aside from not hearing Trump talk, gives her the heebie jeebies). Here she is not having the heebie jeebies.

Sterling was a really good boy. Objectively one of the best. Even my non-dog loving friends gave him high marks. The ones that mattered, anyway.

My cat, Ichiban, who once upon a time actively tolerated and occasionally almost loved me (but only when her mom was out of town) now absolutely loathes my presence ever since I got a new dog.
