3. So we are basically going off of the former prosecutor's (and Cosby's) word that such an agreement existed. The record is shaky, but IT DOESN'T MATTER. The prosecutor has no power to immunize Cosby unilaterally — PolitiTweet.org

2. PA has a very specific process for being granted immunity from prosecution. AND IT CANNOT BE GRANTED BY A PROSECUTOR. Rather, a prosecutor has to ask a court to grant immunity IN COSBY'S CASE THE PROSECUTOR NEVER ASKED https://t.co/VCnRrUOwup — PolitiTweet.org

1. The PA's Supreme Court decision to release Cosby based on a former prosecutor's "agreement" not to prosecute Cosby and instead grant him immunity from prosecution is not legally sound. Here's why. — PolitiTweet.org

@dangillmor Ghost is interesting but you are really on your own as far as running the business. Being independent is challenging and Substack offers support that is outside the scope of Ghost. — PolitiTweet.org

@dangillmor Substack is not perfect but I’m confident that they will not turn into data brokers. I started with them in 2018 when there were only 3 people working at the company. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@dangillmor Yeah, I don’t think there is purity anywhere but to me the key is there is no advertising on Substack. The business model is to serve readers, not market data about readers to advertisers — PolitiTweet.org

This kind of absurd argument flows directly from the idea that any consideration of race is the same and all policies must be "colorblind." It doesn't matter whether you are burning crosses or advocating for more opportunities for Black students. It's all "racism." — PolitiTweet.org

Kevin McCarthy, who could be the next Speaker of the House, believes a group of scholars trying to identify and dismantle structural racism (Critical Race Theory) is the same as a group of white supremacists trying to create a white nation (KKK) — PolitiTweet.org

Disagreeing w/aspects of Critical Race Theory does not make you a racist. Many CRT scholars disagree with each other. But folks who are mislabeling CRT are not doing so accidentally. It's an intentional political strategy meant to discredit serious ideas about structural racism — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
It is not a SEMANTIC issue. It is a SUBSTANTIVE issue because it distorts and marginalizes actual Critical Race Theory, which is an important body of scholarship — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
It's amazing how many critics of Critical Race Theory have casually admitted that what they are criticizing is not Critical Race Theory but have otherwise just carried on, including continuing to mislabel the stuff they don't like as Critical Race Theory — PolitiTweet.org

@RichLowry So people should be less “obsessed” by race and refrain from attacking the “American system” and there should be laws to enforce that? — PolitiTweet.org

@DanCrenshawTX 4. Crenshaw also said Berry's unacceptable political views are linked to Critical Race Theory These are different terms, used for the same reason Chris Rufo, who popularized the anti-CRT movement, admits it's just a replacement for "cancel culture" https://t.co/o9M7R6RzOn https://t.co/Oe8uStpMhc — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. @DanCrenshawTX's call for Gwen Berry to be kicked off the Olympic team because she has different views on racial justice, shows that Crenshaw is not concerned about freedom of expression. He's interested in "cancel culture" as a political cudgel https://t.co/o9M7R6RzOn — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@DanCrenshawTX 2. This gets to the heart of the issue about "cancel culture." There is an underlying issue -- freedom of expression -- that is extremely important People should not be punished for expressing controversial views But that's not what its really about https://t.co/o9M7R6RzOn — PolitiTweet.org
