1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.

Put simply: right-wing has narrative dominance.

My org (@mmfa) did this study and been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

@egabbert Another cool trick is to look up the definition of the word that seems to not work, and let that remind you of what you really mean to communicate! Great advise Elisa.

[Dwayne Betts @dwaynebetts]

What’s the dude who sold twitter to Musk saying? Just wondering what role the sale of this huge communications platform has to do with the profound number of crisis that the world wakes up to daily.

[Dwayne Betts @dwaynebetts]

Also, why not - I'll invite you to listen to this short interview with me on NPR last week, if you're not sleeping - this will settle your disquiet, maybe: https://t.co/ODMUAJb3x3

It’s rare to write and publish a book while in prison, more rare to do what @JohnJLennon1 is doing. This is going to be dope -

@RachelBarkow Actually, I do teach at Harvard. Trying to be a legend in two sports.... Visiting gig, just a year - but still, they've let me borrow an ID for a year and teach some students.

home ownership in the US is now out of reach for many, including me. by posting these comments about famous conservatives, i get hundreds of replies, earning me $3/ post. this puts me closer to owning a home in a walkable neighborhood without engaging in misinformation or racism
