My kid’s school is named after William Lloyd Garrison, one of the greatest to ever play the hot takes game. So much better than nearby Ross, Seaton, and Cleveland elementary schools. https://t.co/JaokupNTL1 — PolitiTweet.org

Britain, a country where people seemingly can’t afford toothpaste, believes the aliens think they are important enough to spy. https://t.co/yn1xvmWoQr — PolitiTweet.org

@w_katz1 I’m really just trying to say we *should* have an official source of timely and comprehensive data on policing and crime rather than needing to rely on this patchwork of informal efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

In the past large changes for the better have happened in American policing and it can happen again if people care to focus on improving quality rather than cutting spending. https://t.co/C6tSxx2mCI https://t.co/tYkBmCC8Vb — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Catching and punishing cops who break the rules is good and important. Body cameras and other popular reforms help do that — don’t give up on the concept because it hasn’t reduced problems to zero. https://t.co/C6tSxx2mCI — PolitiTweet.org

I liked this joke but actually Laura Tyson ran the NEC way back in 1995-1996. Apologies for the error, congratulations to all the Lael Lads. https://t.co/THOPyaEAj0 — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

There are also lots of people who don’t have strong policy convictions but they own homes and they are risk-averse. It’s important to talk to them and try to persuade them of the broadly shared benefits. https://t.co/RCRNEGqffj — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

There’s a set of people on the right who don’t like cities, don’t like urbanism, and don’t like city-dwellers — it’s nonetheless possible to get them to see that the YIMBY policy agenda aligns perfectly well with their broad ideology and understanding of economics. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

This is why it’s genuinely not worth your time to argue with left-NIMBYs — they literally do not care at all about the topic at hand and just find YIMBYs annoying and like to annoy us. Much more productive to spend time debating conservatives NIMBYs and normie homeowners. https://t.co/ncPdCirNfD — PolitiTweet.org

Among other things I agree with @JillFilipovic that we are probably reaping the fruit of teaching kids to emphasizing their own fragility. https://t.co/swyc8kyVRV https://t.co/5waE9MUG2l — PolitiTweet.org
