Officer Fanone was trashed for simply recounting the events of January 6th.

You can’t claim #BlueLivesMatter while excusing this. https://t.co/t1jR1xKD3a

He is a grown ass man. He wasn’t given bad advice, he went looking for it. Being stupid and gullible is not an excuse for betraying the country. https://t.co/SF0Zt4qWDf

2020: Breonna Taylor was murdered by police during a no-knock warrant.

2022: Amir Locke was murdered by police during a no-knock warrant.

In the two years in between? The Senate didn’t even bring the bill to ban no-knock warrants to a vote.

The whole system is guilty.

Rogan defenders are torn. They can’t say he’s being cancelled, because he’s not. But if they admit Rogan decided to remove old episodes because they were bad, they’d have to admit they defended crap. And they can’t say he was forced because that undercuts his “genuine” image. https://t.co/JlyR4Wspzs

Heritage Foundation going full "massively regulate big business, empower more trial lawyers, and cancel the 1st Amendment" was perhaps predictable, but kinda highlights how it never had any real principles, because it tossed them all out the window with this report. https://t.co/pnyLj9l2FE

When you are used to being able to do everything you want no matter what, not being able to freely say the most racist slur in the English language feels like oppression. Some of you should feel embarrassed right now, but of course you are not.

It's kind of obvious Spotify wanted to own podcasting. Now, after Rogan, I wonder if they still want to own it.

At some point, this country is going to have to reckon with the fact that a lot of white people *like* listening to racist, misogynist dickheads telling them what they want to hear.
Like, the problem is not really the racist, misogynist dickhead. The problem is THEIR AUDIENCE.

For people who fawn over the founding fathers, these dudes seem awfully uncomfortable with “that guy said some shit I don’t like so I’m making a big deal about it”.

At least none of us want to shoot the guy. https://t.co/exgNRBmUV5

A lot of "you couldn't do x today" commentary is "you can't do x today and have people tell you it's awesome" and those are actually two very different things.

How much was that Spotify deal again? https://t.co/GGBhEQYaCo

If we all realized you just need to call yourself a comedian and no one expects you to act like a decent human being, I expect the field would me more crowded. https://t.co/mahbXOFiag

For the love of God, please stop with the “but he has black friends” defense. It means you’ve never grappled with the complexity of race. Stop it. Please. Maybe Rogan isn’t racist. But that defense doesn’t help us answer that. FYI: One of Dylann Roof’s best friends was black. https://t.co/PSUfjFRDjm

Discouraging vaccination with inaccurate info & white people using the n-word both bother many people.
You can think they're wrong to be bothered, or dislike how they're expressing it. But you can stop searching for a hidden alternate motive. Those things really do bother people.

I don’t like the term vaccine skeptics. We already had a term for these people: assholes.

Rogan comes out and apologizes for bad behavior and pledges to do better, acknowledged that - gulp - he has done some things he regrets. Telling that that seems alarming to many of his defenders. https://t.co/B0RUbvrfwn

Didn’t you work to make a few Oberlin students mildly criticizing a cafeteria dish into a national story two weeks after the San Bernardino attack, when the US was fighting in Afghanistan, Russia intervened in Syria, unemployment was rising, climate change was getting worse, etc? https://t.co/cJ5Q2nFFf8

On the scale of tsuris suffered by the Jews over the past… kind of forever, no it’s not *that* awful. The Nazis, Babylonians, and Romans kind of fill the top billion spots.

But it is shitty and I have little sympathy for a dude getting matzos on his arm when he wanted strength. https://t.co/OcgVGcAVY9
