NEW: Americans are pessimistic about the future. But which actors do they think are having the worst impact on the economy/society? Voters find the most harmful actors to be: 1) Billionaires 2) Corporate landlords 3) Sports gambling 4) Artificial intelligence 5) Cryptocurrency

Scatter plot titled "Billionaires and Corporate Landlords Are Seen as Most Harmful to Society and Economy." X-axis shows economic impact (3.0-5.5), y-axis shows societal impact (3.0-5.5), on a 1-7 scale where 4 is neutral. 40 numbered dots, colored dark red-brown (negative) to green (positive), follow a diagonal line showing economic and societal ratings are closely correlated. Most negative, in a shaded pink zone below 4 on both axes: Billionaires and Corporate landlords (~3.15-3.2), followed by Sports gambling, AI companies, Cryptocurrency, Payday loan companies, both major political parties, Social media companies, For-profit universities, and Cable news networks. Most positive, in a shaded green zone: Libraries and Small businesses (~5.0-5.3), followed by Hospitals, Charitable organizations, Small regional banks, and Churches. Most of the 40 actors fall between 4.0-5.0 on both axes. A numbered legend of all 40 actors accompanies the chart.

my latest WIP: the cumulus top from petite knit! using knitting for olive pure silk in ice blue from looped yarn works in DC :)

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@aoc.bsky.social · last yr.

It’s #WIPWednesday! 🧶 This is what I’ve been knitting between Fight the Oligarchy rally stops. Oversized Seasons Cardigan by Ozetta. Splurged big-time on the yarn (🫣) but honestly after holding this thing for weeks I’m happy I did. Woolerton Estates in Fluffy. #KnitSky

Beginning of the knit project on a tray table. Two needles with about ten rows of yarn for the collar of a sweater.

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here. In the wake of the election, it's disheartening to see some Democrats throw the transgender community under the bus. The data shows that's the wrong approach — voters actually want the government to be less involved in regulating transgender people's lives.

Bar chart of polling data from Data For Progress.
Title: Voters Reject Candidates Who Support Anti-Trans Legislation.
Description: Which one of the following candidates are you most likely to vote for?
Response Options:
A) A candidate who says that the government should stay out of people's private lives and that there is too much legislation targeting a small minority of the population
B) Don't know
C) A candidate who says that we need new laws that restrict access to transgender health care and keep "biological boys" out of girls' sports
All likely voters — 57% chose A, 9% chose B, 34% chose C
Democrat — 79% chose A, 7% chose B, 14% chose C
Independent / Third party — 54% chose A, 12% chose B, 33% chose C
Republican — 33% chose A, 9% chose B, 58% chose C

October 18–21, 2024 survey of 1,216 likely voters.
