A large share of journalism about Twitter under Elon Musk was written during a brief period when his use of the platform was--at least as I perceive it--very different than it is now. — PolitiTweet.org

@truthoverhate @ChuckleHutVIP I wouldn't take a kid to Hooters either. Do you think there should be laws that criminalize parents who do take their child to Hooters? — PolitiTweet.org

@AryanChadG That event looks wildly inappropriate for children. It does not follow that legislators should pass a law that bars 17 year olds from seeing Rocky Horror Picture Show. — PolitiTweet.org

@dan_jeezy @SwipeWright I think you're doing the thing that social justice zealots do where they are uncharitable beyond the direct text of what people are saying because they have classified the person as bad and can't believe everyone else can't see that. But I try to engage what was actually said. — PolitiTweet.org

@dan_jeezy @SwipeWright I am not defending or even evaluating her in general or her book or whatever. I know nothing about her save that Colin, who tries in my experience to get things right, paraphrased her wrong here, so I pointed that out. Discrete parsing is IMHO better than right-siding. — PolitiTweet.org

@SwipeWright Watched the clip and that's not quite what she said. She said they need to be "polite" and "caring" even if they don't agree. — PolitiTweet.org

@AryanChadG @brent_welsh I can point you to movies that are wildly inappropriate for, advertised to, and attended by children. Do you think we should pass laws against them? — PolitiTweet.org

How much debt-finance spending can you favor before a spike in inflation and still blame the need for interest rate hikes on the Fed? — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

How many people need to lose their jobs before the Fed stops its extreme interest rate hikes?

@AryanChadG No, your accusation is both false and evidence free--you're a character assassin just like them and apparently unable to see it even when it is pointed out to you. — PolitiTweet.org

@dan_jeezy Dan, some of these bills define and regulate drag in ways that would include Mrs. Doubtfire––it is their authors who are defining it in ways you find objectionable, not me. — PolitiTweet.org

@BryanforHD2 You call yourself "a defender of liberty" but using the coercive power of the state to stop a parent from taking their 16-year-old to The Rocky Horror Picture Show takes away liberty. Agree or disagree? — PolitiTweet.org

@BryanforHD2 I have a question for you @BryanforHD2: Mrs. Doubtfire the Broadway musical features a lead performer in drag. If you wanted to take your own child to see it do you think the state should be able to forbid you from doing that? — PolitiTweet.org

Drag shows are free speech. Various GOP proposals to restrict them violate the Constitution. https://t.co/1uWzv5RQVw — PolitiTweet.org

@hufflepnkbadger @MediaLitish There are no "actual answers" or "evidence" cutting against Jesse's article on DEI that he omitted but you can point to, nor did you even attempt to offer any, just an empty accusation of bad faith, as if you can't conceive of anyone disagreeing with you in good faith. — PolitiTweet.org

@GScottShand The problem with Okun and DiAngelo is not that their tactics backfire, though they do. The problem with them is their embrace of the pernicious construct of race, their racial stereotyping, and the utter dearth of rigor behind their projects. — PolitiTweet.org
