Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants.

More straight talk, less hubris and, like, be a human? All we got was "beige".
If we’ve learned anything from the 2024 cycle it’s that largely democratic consultants make candidates nervous and then those candidates go on to not do media (social or conventional) and then said candidate loses….
It is very hard for me to imagine a national political party succeeding in 2025 if it organizes itself to such an absurd degree around the guidance of consultants and consultant-minded people. www.offmessage.net/p/out-with-t...

This is the correct take on Cynicism
I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
