@katalin_pota @ggreenwald @KFILE I'd say that if you represent Berkeley and Oakland in Congress your whole career and cast the only vote against the War in Afghanistan then either you're a true leftist or the category is so small as to be meaningless — PolitiTweet.org

@HamasakiLaw Is your position that all possible reparations are justified? I don't get it. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@HamasakiLaw Implicit in the post was that some reparations are justified and some unjustified. For example, I think it would be unjustified to seize the houses of Angelenos to return them to the tribes who lived on that land in pre-Spanish California. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@HamasakiLaw Are you unable to come up with a hypothetical of any reparations you'd find unjustified? — PolitiTweet.org

Elites keep taking steps in the name of racial justice that have no actual connection to racial justice, having been captured by a strange ideology utterly detached from BOTH analytic rigor AND the lived experience of historically marginalized groups https://t.co/wHvKXhV7C8 — PolitiTweet.org

Apropos the NYT story framing a controversy in which the overwhelming majority of the public supports Netflix's refusal to remove a comedy special as the company "losing its glow" — PolitiTweet.org

Good thread, before and after this Tweet. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

I have mixed feelings about the substance of Chappelle special, as with most efforts to weigh in on hugely controversial subjects, but the "glow" of Netflix was enhanced in my eyes when it stood by its artist and refused to censor his work. Anyone agree? https://t.co/Nil3UwbsfC — PolitiTweet.org

When someone says that students were "triggered" by problematic speech are they saying 1) merely that they were offended 2) that they have PTSD that was activated by the speech 3) ambiguous 4) something else? — PolitiTweet.org

I'm old enough to remember when conservatives believed that it was a government abuse to target an institution for higher taxes because you have contempt for their ideological actions. — PolitiTweet.org
