  1. Lots to reflect on in #YANSS 317 – "How to reimagine the marketplace of ideas by changing how, if, and when we talk about politics"

    If we want new ideas to spread, what do we need to do now to make it a reality?

  2. Talk about who's being targeted and the ways bad policies affect real people. "I feel bad for the refugees here legally who've been threatened by their neighbors and by politicians, like the Haitians in Springfield." Or "I feel terrible for the 26,000 women assaulted in Texas since abortions were effectively outlawed there who had to carry their attacker's child to term." Or "It seems wrong that trans kids and parents who have worked out treatments with their doctors are being told by more places that they can't get medical care anymore."

    The more local you can make your statement, the better. Something in your own state, your own experience, or best of all, in your listeners' direct experience, the more powerful it will be. The farther away in time, distance, or familiarity, the harder it will be as an entry point to a real conversation.
