It wasn't just bullshit I classified documents or sensitive stuff the public should still know about. It was correctly classified stuff that Trump had no defensible reason to possess. https://t.co/nZwDqfRXJs — PolitiTweet.org

I asked readers what they thought of Joe Biden's plan to hire 100,000 police officers and his criticism of "defund." Here are answers from a variety of perspectives: https://t.co/F9k1mVnFMi — PolitiTweet.org

@atlemar They use it to vilify and dehumanize people while indulging in performative disdain. And never, like, torturers or serial killers. Just people they disagree with on the Internet. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@AGoldmund This is uninformed, uncharitable and utterly incorrect. And I wish people would stop using dehumanizing terms to attack others. Jesse is *a legendary evil being that robs graves and feeds on corpses*? Really, that's a judgment you stand behind enough to state publicly? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@wil_da_beast630 But in reality the right speaks out against the queer-coded quasi-sexualization of children and the left speaks out against the traditionalist-coded sexualization of children with almost no overlap — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@wil_da_beast630 I'd have an easier time believing that the drag backlash was *just* about objecting to sexualizing children if its critics also spoke out against e.g. https://t.co/q6wYgbecEO — PolitiTweet.org

@wil_da_beast630 Well, we do have child beauty pageants, which IMHO are really creepy — PolitiTweet.org

@KralcTrebor @deonteleologist I agree. — PolitiTweet.org

@KralcTrebor @deonteleologist and so they wind up doing lots of counterproductive things. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@KralcTrebor @deonteleologist I am interested in fighting bigotry in Oklahoma too, but I have very different notions of how to do that effectively than the typical DEI administrator at the college or high school level. It seems to me that few of them understand how authoritarian personality types work — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@KralcTrebor @deonteleologist I oppose those bills but I also think the left should acknowledge there is some pernicious nonsense on race that made its way into some classrooms & that it's legit for parents to object if their kids are taught, for example, that being on time is white supremacy culture — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@KralcTrebor @deonteleologist Should schools teach about slavery and racism and the civil rights movement? Absolutely. Should it teach Tema Okun and Robin DiAngelo? I don't think so. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@KralcTrebor @deonteleologist I understand CRT to be a movement that began in law schools among scholars who thought that the liberal approach to civil rights that King took was inadequate. I am on the Henry Louis Gates side of that argument, not the CRT side https://t.co/Z3K4qAjvEA — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@KralcTrebor @deonteleologist I agree with critically examining our racial history and owning that as patriotic, inextricable from the ongoing project of perfecting the union. I disagree that King and Douglas were Critical Race Theorists. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias You're not wrong and I send my best wishes as you carry on. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@mattyglesias No, Ben Shapiro types were utterly worthless on Obama civil liberties abuses. It is because his GOP partisan critics failed so badly that those of us who objected on principle to his abuses need to remind Americans about them. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@ScruggsDJ @mattyglesias Yep. They're the worst — PolitiTweet.org

To respect local culture I propose the Mavericks Towers, a development with height limits equal to the largest waves at Mavericks, with a training pool in the courtyard, redwoods planted in the parkway, and awesome surfers' fish burritos at a food truck out front all year round. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@mattyglesias I much prefer Obama to Trump and Bush but if we're reminiscing about his most appalling actions I'd say that secretly ordering the targeted killing of an American citizen is worth remembering — PolitiTweet.org
