Removing books from school libraries is bad, no matter which side's sensitivities are behind it. https://t.co/n4yScUMeMN

This gets at a core problem of the “hire lots more cops, just hold them more accountable” approach that its advocates fail to address. If we take police groups at their own word, a slight increase in accountability is precisely what’s making cops quit, or fail to do their jobs.

The @WSJopinion page publishes Trump pushing the Big Lie; Mitch McConnell endorses Herschel Walker not reluctantly, once he's won the GOP primary, but months before. Can we stop pretending the GOP establishment and elite conservative media are anything but Trump enablers?

This is the "leadership" in our state. We definitely need more people firing randomly in crowded public places. That will totally keep the death count down. https://t.co/DSqdUtdi8Z

I’m fascinated by the argument that comedy is supposed to make people uncomfortable in defense of jokes at the expense of a marginalized group to an audience which already predominately treats them as gross.

Next you’ll be telling me the preoccupation with “cancel culture” was always a disingenuous ploy to try to insulate bigotry from societal consequences rather than sincere opposition to anyone losing their job!

The frustrating part of the reaction from many CJR people (summarized as “sure Rittenhouse is being treated better than most defendants but it *should* be standard”) is that giving special treatment to the Rittenhouses and Turners doesn’t seem to be paying dividends for others https://t.co/fWTjNuEeeA

“Anything these dudes agree on, I know is some stupid shit”.

Added bonus: watching Jimmy smash himself in the face with a sword while he dances awkwardly with it might induce in the watcher a zen-like state conducive to understanding. https://t.co/LNivjrq1zH

Let's review: A woman spent 11 years in prison for a drug offense. She has now had her newborn taken away so she can do *more* time—not bc she reoffended but bc a gov't contractor made a dumb error.

We can all agree this kind of thing needs to change. https://t.co/5pMicPNdS0

There is no conclusive evidence yet, but I suspect several Republican members of Congress will end up being implicated in assisting the 1/6 attack on the Capitol, which is why you see the GOP line quietly shifting to “1/6 was actually a good and noble thing”.

FOP President John Catanzara has a long standing history of demagoguery and he continues to invoke Nazi and Holocaust comparisons. Stop, just stop. They are categorically false, deeply offensive, and do a disservice to the millions who perished at the hands of the Nazis. https://t.co/Fmp481FMos

I'm sure there are a lot of people out there rolling their eyes at this and that's fair, I've done a fair amount of eye rolling at crazy right wing comments myself. But I live here. I'm the person this guy wants to kill. And he's getting applauded for it. https://t.co/OIlHomVBoX
