We're very clearly in the middle of a cultural vibe shift to the right, which means a shift away from the progressive virtue of out-group care. But cultural change doesn't stop. And the rise of a cruel establishment is going to trigger its own cultural backlash.
People got tired of "wokeness," whatever that means to you. But they're going to tire of this, too. Because people are complicated: selfish, but also kind; loyal, but also compassionate.

🇵🇷 Eyes on Puerto Rico:
Tonight Puerto Ricans amassed the second largest political rally this ENTIRE cycle - behind only Harris’ 75k-person Ellipse speech.
Over 50,000 Boricuas rallying for the anti-Trump, anti-corruption Alianza movement & @juandalmauPR.
Political earthquake.
Garbage “Joke” at NYC Trump rally gets a musical response in San Juan , PR ⬇️👀
🎶 “La basura son , la basura son, la basura son la gente que defiende a Donald Trump ! 🎶🗣️Viva Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Libre Puñeta!”
New Yorkers are burdened by an aging, expensive + polluting gas system that’s holding back climate progress—and current law forces us to pay for expanding it!
The #NYHEAT Act will end this absurdity. But we need pass the *full* bill and cap utility costs for households too.
