I truly suspect the primary drivers of cancel culture narratives are financially well off & long-term stable adults who went through their entire childhood without being outside the in-crowd, and the idea anyone might disturb that tranquility both fascinates & terrifies them

And the officers obliged. It’s not just the chief. Don’t make this just about the chief. https://t.co/r9iDQHOM3f

Maybe if 19 armed cops are afraid of one gun, it's a good time to take a look at easy availability of that gun.

Indicting a former president is a terrible precedent. The proper response to executive crimes is impeachment, conviction, and disqualification. Yet Republicans flinched and now we are left with worse options

Again, the solution posed by Sullivan and other "free speech absolutists" to reactionaries openly fomenting political violence is "watch what you say" and pray they go away. Fine, fine. But what exactly was all that brave talk about the power, value, and virtue speaking freely?

People saying what they think without fear of retribution is great in abstract, but if you happen to be a vulnerable minority "free speech absolutists" will throw you to the illiberal wolves and then shed tears about how the poor wolves just couldn't help themselves.

Yes, yes. Expressing ideas, no matter how controversial, is a social good to be encouraged and celebrated.

Oh, unless it's something we don't like and makes us uncomfortable, in which case, you deserve whatever you get *merely for speaking* those ideas.

"Backlash" thesis stripped to its basics is: gender theorists engaged in irresponsible speech acts and now reap a whirlwind of murderous illiberal rage.

Yikes! This set of facts sure poses problems to "free speech abolutism" but somehow Sullivan never notices the contradiction. https://twitter.com/gnrosenberg/status/1539261532026150918

So true. Backlash. The toddlers always get so pissed whenever I assign Edelman no matter how much I tell them they have to *understand* his critique of reproductive futurism even if they don't *agree* with his critique of reproductive futurism. https://t.co/13j2CUnLHR

It sure sounds like the guiding principle here is that separating church and state is permissible when it benefits religious institutions relative to secular institutions, but not when it benefits secular institutions relative to religious institutions.https://t.co/WWDENqaWVz

Why do we give state funding and tax breaks to institutions with a long-established, recurring history of sexually abusing children? Any policy makers going to at least regulate that the actual groomers —churches that abuse children— can’t get tax dollars or tax breaks? https://t.co/87gAnaV649

When the Uvalde massacre happened Greg Abbott assured everyone the police did a great job and said “it could have been much much worse”. Beto O'Rourke took a bunch of shit for calling-out Abbott at the press conference saying what they were doing was a “joke”.

He was right.

again if you were to hand this equipment to nearly any random group of adults they would have done more to try and save those kids than the Uvalde police https://t.co/O0aHn3zhwB

Just signed on to Twitter, having trouble finding what must surely be scores of prominent Republicans denouncing the Greitens ad.

We can’t ignore a direct threat of political violence because it might attract attention. It needs to be seen and condemned. Because this is where we are heading. https://t.co/S9bPmiOClb
