I’m with you. I wish we could choose our algorithm. Like if I want more of the things I typically like; or I want to be challenged; or 3 out of 5 challenged aka opinions different from my own…

The democrats aren’t polling well which is concerning. The non-MAGA-left need to come together. I’m not at all suggesting the left have one single message. That wouldn’t be productive as debate is healthy and necessary but we’d do well to curb canceling those who hold different opinions.

Maybe leave space for a range left leaders? Like not adopt the far right’s current modus operandi which doesn’t allow for critical debate / growth within their squad. We’re increasingly letting go of our freedom to have and share one’s nuanced or less than popular opinion 🤷🏼‍♀️

Remember if you are angry and you wanna do something, one really important thing you can do is vote, I’m not talking about 2026. I’m talking about this week, next week, and the week after there are elections every single week multiple times a week that is where it change begins.
