Congressional demands that platforms turn over broad swaths of materials related to constitutionally protected expression is inappropriate and the problematic, and you should be no less concerned just because you support the work of the Select Committee.https://t.co/DOvkCuoRMT

Controversial alternate opinion: If our troops overseas trusted these Afghans with their own lives, we should welcome them and their families to our country. https://t.co/OC7ALPQWLY

The anti-trans cultists are mad that LGBTQ people are educating LGBTQ youths about how to survive being tortured by homophobic and transphobic adults in conversion therapy. https://t.co/AljRv6LI7a

“Why would you hold Joe Biden to the standard of American President rather than the standard of Donald Trump?” has a straightforward answer:
Because “at least that’s not as bad as Trump” is way too low a bar for American presidents. We can, and should, aim higher. https://t.co/nISHZGq69r

“Nothing Biden does should be criticized because he’s not Trump” isn’t the great argument liberals think it is, it’s just complete support of every pro-Trump argument the right made “it’s ok because he’s not a Democrat.”

It’s because @GOPLeader doesn’t stand for anything at all except staying in power. He doesn’t actually give a shit about the troops or the Afghans as long as it hurts the Democrats. https://t.co/kmoJ6rpUNQ

I supported President Biden and I voted for him. I said at the time that I would hold him to a much higher standard than the worst and most ignorant sociopath who ever held the office. I’m sorry if people find that disturbing. https://t.co/7aCJQ3ghG8

I'll add, again, that the single solitary counterfactual to which we know the answer is that if Trump were still in charge, few to no SIVs would have been evacuated. https://t.co/XhADeok4LS

"Surrounded" is absolutely a lie. There was a single member of the capitol police in the vicinity. Behind Babbitt was an angry mob brandishing weapons and smashing through a barricade.

The last barricade between them and our government.

That officer stood at his post. https://t.co/uEexHLzpLm

We really should include basic statistics much earlier in the education cycle, and make it mandatory. There is so much going on now that wouldn't be such a mess if people understood stats.
