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. 🧵

📊 Excellent story from Alex that drives home what's at stake when we lose access to open data – truly, it's the things we take for granted. "Everything from how we allocate Congressional seats to the weather app on your phone relies at least in part on accurate government data."

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
