I do this work for the guys I grew up with. The guys I know and love today who are struggling with loneliness and/or mental health. I do it for my childhood friend who went down a dark path and took his own life. We can’t cede men to fringe ideologies any longer. It stops now.

This is one of those things where someone can be both right and wrong. This analysis is right in that the loneliness crisis is complicated and about more than social media. It’s wrong in that it presents a false binary. It’s either about social media or about a myriad of other
My hottest take on this subject is I don't think social media is creating a "loneliness crisis." I think America's social crisis is, in some ways, the opposite of loneliness. The evidence that loneliness is rising for all ages that use social media is surprisingly weak. If we

Elon Musk may be a known liar and charlatan, but he is also the current richest person in the world, owns the platform where I’m posting this, and seems to be controlling the man about to be sworn in as president of the United States next week. So we need to talk about him. 1/

Ben’s always had my back as someone who often finds themselves as the youngest in the room. He’s an organizer’s organizer. We would be lucky to have a Chair with the tenacity and ability to see every state as one worth investing in. I trust him to lead this party forward. ✊
As @NCDemParty Chair, @abreezeclayton has proven that we all benefit when we trust the leadership, creativity, and passion of young organizers. I'd be eager to work alongside her as DNC Chair to empower the next generation of Democratic leaders. Thank you Anderson!

Jimmy Carter was not only an incredible public servant he was first elected to the GA State Senate when he was 39. So, he would’ve been eligible for a @runforsomething endorsement! Your daily reminder that downballot candidates are our present/future.

If we want to win across the country, win back swing voters and rebuild the Democratic party, then we need to look no further than what Ben has done in Wisconsin the past 6 years. As a DNC member, I’m proud to endorse my friend @benwikler for Chairman of the DNC!
If we’re going to take on Trump, Republican extremists, and move our country forward, the Democratic Party needs to be stronger. I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee to unite the party, fight everywhere, and win. Join me. 🧵

I’ve seen so many genuinely dumb, self-serving, hot takes since the election. So, I’ve decided to join the fray with a very good take on the Hot Take Industrial Complex.
