@ckinbote1982 If you think he wrote something transphobic that was quoted in legislation, quote the offending passage here and make the case that it is transphobic. You won't because to see the words is to know that your assessment of them is bullshit. — PolitiTweet.org

Blocking traffic continues to be among my least favorite protest tactics because in any big city *high stakes emergencies that require driving people to the hospital are very frequent*! — PolitiTweet.org

If Jesse Singal's views on trans issues in fact had tremendous influence then the public would move *way left* on trans issues since his views are far to the left of the average American and not at all transphobic. — PolitiTweet.org

@Rainbw_mansion @maxxhoff @nytopinion So if you're aware of the tech and entertainment controversies why did you act like you were unaware of people talking politics at work except in journalism? I don't get it. — PolitiTweet.org

@Theo_TJ_Jordan "I take your point that some people start with nice Pinots and then"... acknowledges what you're saying, which does not contradict his position about alcohol deaths. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@XBillups @ijbailey But the position that serves his interests seems to be correct in this case. There is no reason to think a new niche Pinot that isn't at the bottom of the market would increase total alcohol deaths or even total wine consumption. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

Lots of people are reading this passage and then attributing views to Kristof distinct from the ones that he expressed because people are bad at reading comprehension. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@XBillups @ijbailey I mean, I would say it's a correct rationalization, given what I presume the price point of his wine will be. Whereas if he was selling, like, bargain basement priced everclear I would say, yeah, there's an irresolvable tension here! — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@XBillups @ijbailey That is, he asserted that deaths, rather than alcoholism itself, isn't driven by wine, but by cheap hard liquor, which accords with my understanding, and that wine is relatively unlikely to be a gateway to alcoholism though it can be, which sounds more dubious to me but not crazy — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@XBillups @ijbailey I don't think it's clear that he did assert that. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@ijbailey Raising the price of alcohol via taxes seems to reduce alcoholism deaths so there is some evidentiary basis for some of Kristof's claims here — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

Good thread — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@maxxhoff @nytopinion Not agreeing or disagreeing, just observing that in Blue American culture there is a larger movement to bring your "whole self to work," and to a workplace that is affirmatively inclusive of people like you, including your politics and even your political activism at work. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey Young people seem to be committing suicide at much higher rates now. People are murdering one another at higher rates. Anxiety and depression among adults are up. The president is worse. The Republican Party is much worse. What is it that you prefer? — PolitiTweet.org
