he concluded that, while he stood by the thrust of the critique, he'd also overstated it a bit, something the pushback helped him to see. The final piece was more nuanced because of the open-minded engagement with critics. — PolitiTweet.org

As Thomas describes in the piece, he noticed something that was bothering him, tried to articulate his critique on Twitter... & stuck around to read and think about the pushback. Then, — PolitiTweet.org

I really enjoyed this @thomaschattwill piece for its stellar execution and characteristic nuance https://t.co/mEIzbPMED2 And also because it's an example of using Twitter in a way that improves one's thinking and journalism. To explain a bit more: — PolitiTweet.org

@UnderSneege Setting any particular example aside this seems flawed to me. Austerity carries connotations of severity and sternness... and merely spending less than a bygone year doesn't necessarily meet that threshold, while spending more than last year could still be austere. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@DKThomp if you're borrowing every year, and then you borrow a bit less, is *that* austerity? Is it falling below a certain level of borrowing? How do you think we should define it? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@DKThomp As I understand the argument of the piece it's not that the media fabricated a desire to spend less, but that what transpired was never accurately described as austerity... which raises the question of how we define it. That is, — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@UnderSneege So as you see it, a government that has $100 billion in tax revenue and spends $150 billion in expenditures is engaged in austerity if, last, year it spent $175 billion? — PolitiTweet.org

"There was never any austerity in the UK. It's a pure media fabrication that persists only because nobody cares to look at the data." https://t.co/bK8trZqlTO More: "The deficits were huge even right in the middle of the supposedly austere period." — PolitiTweet.org

It always frustrates me when I see Ta-Nehisi treated as if he's a Robin DiAngelo figure. In fact, he's a formidable thinker and gorgeous writer in the *agree or disagree, everyone should read / grapple with him* category. If still blogging I'd look forward to reading him daily. — PolitiTweet.org

@Cajsa @TOYDREW1 Before and after that I have written numerous articles critiquing police in the same way when the video was of a Black guy getting shot and killed, so your critique here doesn't make much sense. — PolitiTweet.org

@hiltzikm @VeraMBergen @Robogeek @ISDglobal We have repeatedly established your inability to accurately parse the plain meaning of my claims, never mind their implications.

@SailofIgnorance It depends. Is the department looking to strengthen its teaching and research by making sure it is viewpoint diverse or is it trying to exclude all understandings of its field except for leftist materialism? — PolitiTweet.org

@GothamGirlBlue I did not "deprecate agitation." I argued that the specific agitation tactics that were attempted did not work, and that alternative tactics should be adopted. Reflexively eliding the distinction between those different critiques renders movements unable to adapt. — PolitiTweet.org

@WallOfMoms No, those people opposed the civil rights reforms of the 1960s; in contrast, my position favors more sweeping reforms than the median Black voter, but is mischaracterized by interlocutors like you in language chosen to cast aspersions rather than to describe accurately. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@WallOfMoms From ending the drug war to demilitarizing police to ending qualified immunity and civil asset forfeiture to body cameras to reining in police unions to prosecuting bad cops, my views are closer to yours than 95 percent of Americans, yet you casually cast me as an enemy. Why? — PolitiTweet.org
