I don't trust what adults say in surveys, so I certainly don't trust what 9-12 year olds say. Some of the figures in this article are intriguing, but you have to go so much deeper than this to make anything like a reliable diagnosis of the problem or suggest solutions.
This is crazy and kind of heartbreaking. In a huge survey of young kids about phones and technology, they all say they want to be out playing in the real world. But parents don't let them out unsupervised. So they're stuck on their phones.

Proud to say I identified she was suddenly becoming a quietly excellent governor months ago. Would love to read a piece on the very sudden-feeling turnaround!.
New York @GovKathyHochul on amending the state constitution for redistricting: "The playing field has changed dramatically, and shame on us if we ignore that fact and cling tight to the vestiges of the past. That era is over. Donald Trump eliminated that forever."

Is it, however, a little bit stunning that Dems need proof that honest, lively, fun-but-not-unserious communication rooted in real moral convictions is effective? Yeah!.

It's obviously the case that one of the main reasons Zohran won is his style of communication, and that this style is separable from his policy and broader ideological positioning.

If my grandmother had wheels etc.
If I were in the Senate, I would vote yes on @SenSanders' resolutions today to block the sale of offensive weapons to Israel. The Israeli government is knowingly starving civilians — and the U.S. shouldn’t be complicit.

It is hard to overstate how fundamentally different universities were in the '60s and before. Besides dress codes, many schools then had curfews and fairly onerous regulations on interaction between the sexes.

Almost nobody knows who Krysten Sinema is. This vote had effectively zero impact on the supposed cynicism of young voters.
underrated font of cynicism in young left-ish voters is sinemanchin. the first time dems could theoretically do something in their remembered lives and it gets torpedoed by two conservadems for no reason.

Well, every single R and R-leaning Indy disapproves of the Dems. And of course Ds and D-leaning Indys facing a disastrous Republican presidency also disapprove of the Dems, who haven't stopped Trump's agenda (because they mostly can't). Something here? Yeah! Big deal? No.

It's a profound moral failing that homelessness is only a political issue insofar as it scares or bothers the general public and not insofar as it subjects those who live it to some of the worst suffering imaginable.
