Narrative-first, evidence-driven

Rule: one post, one point, one ask.

Frame A — Mechanism + One Ask (default)

1. What’s happening (1–2 sentences)
2. Why (the mechanism, plain language)
3. What good looks like (principle)
4. One ask / action (measurable)
5. Bridge close (human, calm)

Frame B — “I’m checking this” (anti-rage-bait)

1. “I saw this claim. Before I share it, I’m checking it.”
2. Confirmed / unclear / unknown
3. What sources I’m using (1–3 links)
4. My takeaway (one sentence)
5. One ask (usually: “verify before sharing”)

Frame C — “I’ve been lucky, not smart” (humility that doesn’t grovel)

1. “I didn’t understand this until I needed it.”
2. What I used to assume
3. What changed
4. What I learned (one point)
5. One action I’m taking

Frame D — Mechanism + Uncertainty + Ask (receipt-light)

Use when you believe the mechanism is real but don’t have the stat ready.

1. Human truth (what people are feeling/seeing)
2. Mechanism (how the system creates the outcome)
3. What’s unknown / what I’m still verifying
4. One ask (measurable)
5. Boundary line (if high-heat)

Frame E — “Steelman + Ask” (for bridge-building)

1. “Here’s the strongest version of the concern I hear…”
2. “Here’s what I agree with…”
3. “Here’s where I differ…”
4. “Here’s a practical step we can try…”
5. Close with dignity

Frame F — Local focus (high leverage)

1. What’s happening locally (meeting / vote / change)
2. Why it matters (human impact)
3. The decision point (date + who votes)
4. One ask (show up / email / comment)
5. Close + logistics
