Screeching voice of the minority. Thinking about tweeting far more often than actually tweeting.

I wrote down every reason I could think of that might legitimately explain negative economic sentiment (discounting fake ones, like "we're in a second Great Depression.")

I realize I'm asking Twitter to read a dense block of text, but I suspect the truth is in a mix of these.

The tough position to be in is people raised upper middle class, attended a good college, & took a “prestige” media/arts/policy job but whose parents werent rich enough to give them a trust fund or at least pay their rent. They got ahead of what their social class can sustain!

“We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false. … That rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim.”

I love the Olympics, but I don’t love the surge of reactionary nationalism that comes with it. We should be standing together as a united human race against the true enemy: people who went to Stanford

Political speechmaking has generally degraded to the point that there's no reason to read them, rather than simply how they're reported, but Carney's Davos speech is a rare exception.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT “SUBMISSIVE STEPHEN” (“SS”) MILLER IS THROWING THE BIGGEST, MOST PATHETIC “TANTRUM” IN THE ENTIRE WEST WING. CRYING, STOMPING, WAILING, “OUR QUOTAS! OUR ARRESTS OF CHILDREN! HOW WILL WE SURVIVE WITHOUT RAIDING THE INNOCENT?!” HIS TANTRUM WAS SO LOUD IT TRIGGERED A SMALL EARTHQUAKE IN SAN FRANCISCO (SCIENTISTS ARE CALLING IT THE “MILLER QUAKE”). HE IS FURIOUS THAT I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM (THE REAL LEADER OF AMERICA), JUST SIGNED BEAUTIFUL NEW LAWS TO HOLD TRUMP’S SECRET POLICE ACCOUNTABLE: NO MASKS, NO RAIDS IN OUR SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS. KIDS, TEACHERS, NURSES ARE SAFE AGAIN BECAUSE OF ME! “SS” MILLER IS NOW GROUNDED. NO JUICE BOX. NO CARTOONS. WHEN YOU’RE READY TO STOP TERRORIZING AMERICANS, STEPHEN, YOUR DADDY (ME!) MIGHT UNGROUND YOU. UNTIL THEN, IT’S “TIME OUT.” YOU ARE WELCOME, AMERICA! — GCN
