@hipriestesskang @AnthonyHumdy I would cap the administrator to student ratio at 1995 levels and give all the money saved to adjuncts. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hipriestesskang @AnthonyHumdy That said my analysis is heavily skewed toward California and it's possible that I might have a different view if I studied a different state closely — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hipriestesskang @AnthonyHumdy I think charters vary in quality, but that public schools do too, and that at least with charters--subject to rules that they have to take kids on a first come first serve basis, which I support--they wind up being more equitable than the status quo of assignment by home price — PolitiTweet.org

@WilliamLiDC 178 people seem to have liked it. I'm glad they did. And it has generated an email thanking me for making someone feel better. I'm happy about that too. It rather outweighs the people who were getting offended ostensibly on behalf of others. — PolitiTweet.org

@hipriestesskang @AnthonyHumdy In higher ed I would however shift some money into occupational education that better served the working class as compared to subsidies that disproportionately benefit the upper classes. I would also prevent professional cartels from artificially limiting the doctor supply. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hipriestesskang @AnthonyHumdy Yes I think there should be taxpayer funded education with high quality public schools as well as options for charters and vouchers for anyone who wants them. I also like e.g. the UC and Cal State systems. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@WilliamLiDC You seem to think my original tweet was referring only to racial minority groups but in fact it was referring to any group that is targeted by any terrorist attack. You also seem to think what you call out groups reacted in one way to the tweet but that is not true. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@WilliamLiDC When a big hostile account quite tweets something in a way that skews it's meaning, that affects the perception of the Tweet and the thread that results, rendering it impossible to draw any reliable conclusion about whether the tweet was well or poorly out or somewhere in between — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hipriestesskang @AnthonyHumdy Yes. I can't say I am sure it's exactly like the one you'd prefer, or honestly, that it's the subject I've studied in the most detail, but it is certainly one more generous to those at the bottom than what we have now, and includes health care and housing everyone can afford. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@WilliamLiDC There is, of course, no "one way" that people know me on social media. You are drawing broad conclusions from the ideological bubble you happen to inhabit. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@WilliamLiDC That is not my reaction because I try to root my beliefs in the merits of questions rather than how others treat me. But it informs how I engage others when I am trying to persuade them. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@WilliamLiDC In a well-meaning way, you have made various assumptions about what I believe, some of them wrong, and proceeded to lecture me on how I could do better from an implied perspective of superior knowledge. Most people find this alienating and it repels rather than attracts allies. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tyschalter @cmclymer I have a long and public record of castigating the race-baiting right wing, from Rush Limbaugh to Tucker Carlson, never mind people who actually perpetrate violence. So I sympathize with the frustration of those who give them cover, but I am not remotely one of those people. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@WilliamLiDC @cmclymer William, I try to always think and write consistent with what I believe to be best for the world, and I am happy to be challenged on any of my beliefs, but I broadly disagree with your notion of the best way to talk about and to achieve social justice. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hipriestesskang @AnthonyHumdy You have an incorrect understanding of my beliefs, which, despite being broadly libertarian, do in fact include a belief in various state functions, including a social safety net. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@doug_rivers I personally would prefer open borders and was just complaining yesterday about Republicans race-baiting with respect to infant formula. But as my Tweet was about all terrorist attacks I did not get into specifics about this one. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@QueenMab87 Sometimes people are even more skilled at twisting my meaning in uncharitable and implausible ways than even I expect and I've been on Twitter since 2008. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tyschalter @cmclymer Obviously my meaning did not include the people perpetrating the terrorist attacks, who of course do not stand with the victims in any such attack. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hipriestesskang @AnthonyHumdy Are you saying that writing against police abuses and drone strikes is not advocacy for the safety of marginalized communities? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@cmclymer I agree that specificity is good. Indeed it has shaped my coverage of bygone terrorist attacks https://t.co/wdabHWrB8t Here I was making a different point that applies to this case and others. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@WilliamLiDC @cmclymer More than anything you've offered here. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@WilliamLiDC @cmclymer Oh, so you're not hostile to the message, you're just hostile to me, despite not knowing anything about me. Glad to clear that up! — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hipriestesskang @AnthonyHumdy I'm a libertarian who has spent years writing against police abuses, surveillance, drone strikes, and other abuses of state power. Of course I believe people have legit reasons to be terrified of our government. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@WilliamLiDC @cmclymer What does that mean, William? I did not suggest it was a burden. I suggested it is something that should, in my estimation, be a social norm. Why are you hostile to that suggestion? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@tyschalter @cmclymer The context was people who feel targeted *after literally being targeted in a terrorist attack* not anyone who feels that way including idiot white supremacists. I am glad to clear this up for you. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@hipriestesskang Most people are much more charitable than you though and thankfully they understood my meaning. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@cmclymer That way the group feeling particularly vulnerable at a given moment gets an outpouring of *we stand against this terrible attack on you* rather than silence or only reassurance from people in their ideological or subcultural niche. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@cmclymer I think this often doesn't happen because people think *what the hell do I have to do with this? Why would I reassure them? Of course I am against terrorists? I resent the contrary implication!* I think people should set such feelings aside and offer reassurance. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@cmclymer Occasionally there is a terror attack w clear targets. Black Americans were the target today. Jews have been targeted. Republicans were targeted on that baseball field. Sikhs were targeted in an attack I remember. My meaning was: we should all reassure any group that's targeted. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@colorblindk1d Consider me a holdout, then. — PolitiTweet.org
