@kittypurrzog It sounds like terrorizing a city by blasting surf rock 24/7 at high decibel levels throughout until the population surrenders. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey That said I think conservative students should get over it and engage the hostile people politely rather than thinking of themselves as victims, which helps no one. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey I think anyone in an environment where 90 percent of people are from the opposite ideology are going to be on the receiving end of hostility. Look at the marriage question surveys ask. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey Now imagine the people who are less conscientious than you of whom there are a lot! — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey I'd bet you treat your conservative students fairly, w/o hostility, but a prospective conservative student reading through your Tweets would see a lot of sweeping pejorative generalizations about conservatives, right? — PolitiTweet.org

@thomaschattwill Hi from Norway. That looks like a warm swim :) — PolitiTweet.org

On the left and right, and in much of the middle for that matter, many people believe that humanity, or at least their nation, could improve on liberalism... if only *their faction* was the one empowered to coerce others. But they are all incorrect. — PolitiTweet.org

@evansmithhist That is correct. Mao was a much bigger threat to free speech than was Donald Trump, for example. But I don't think we should let that blind us to the threat Trump posed. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@evansmithhist There is no faction that has a monopoly on threatening free speech. Presidents from both political parties have threatened it. Left-leaning college administrators and right-leaning state legislators both undermine it. If you're only looking in one direction, look around more. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
Free speech is perpetually under threat and always needs defending. When the right is attacking free speech they call its defenders hysterics. The left has been doing the same lately. The appropriate response is always to insistently defend free speech from all sides. — PolitiTweet.org

@and_furiouser He is not a fascist. He is conceivably the American college professor who erroneously labels the most things fascism. Calling him a Nazi sympathizer is dumb and should stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Here are some particular people whose lives are needlessly hard because of NIMBYs and the progressive activist groups that ally with them. https://t.co/H3kQwUq7cl — PolitiTweet.org

1) Allow more housing to be built in all cities. 2) Teach phonics to all kids. 3) Try to solve murders of poor people as hard as we try to solve murders of rich people. 4) Stop prison rape and end the death penalty. 5) End most occupational licensing. 6) Tax carbon, build nuclear — PolitiTweet.org

I still remember Trump lavishly praising Bill and Hillary Clinton on television, and Bill and Hillary attending Trump's wedding. — PolitiTweet.org

@xenocryptsite I still remember canvassing in Reno in 2016 and running into someone who liked both Clinton and Trump

@jasonintrator It was similarly surreal to have a Yale philosopher suggest that me and my employer are dangers to democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

This approach of explicit racial discrimination in layoffs is the most effective means of reducing long-term worker support for unions that I've ever seen. https://t.co/sUKt6wazVt — PolitiTweet.org

@thedialogueguy @rasmansa @Saxis @hencough I agree. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rasmansa @Saxis @hencough No, white folks *mentioning* the word is debated, not white folks using it. People disagree about what to do if the word, say, appears in a legal text or old literature. No one thinks it is okay to use as a slur. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
Basically, if they oppose phonics, it doesn't matter what else they think––let them get control and the consequence will be fewer kids learning to read well, with marginalized kids hurt the worst. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
If you're trying to tell whether advocates of a DEI approach to education in your local schools are worth supporting, or are going to do great harm under a nice-sounding label, a good test is whether they support or oppose phonics reading instruction https://t.co/TBnY2U6QL9 — PolitiTweet.org

@rasmansa @hencough I said "to a large though not total extent, we can control how we react to words," not *to a large extent, words are not violence.* — PolitiTweet.org
