@olivertraldi I think there's a significant difference between a leftist using this as rhetorical cover for her preexisting economic views and a right-winger arguing that it is leftist aggression that has pushed them towards dreaming about a Francoist takeover of America — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias One theory, per a conversation I had with @davidshor the other day, is that it's education polarization in everything — PolitiTweet.org

If there's anything to be learned from this Portland saga, it's that the critics of the post-9/11 security state and War on Terror were absolutely right and ignored by far too many people in power — PolitiTweet.org

I've called this the "look what you made me do" theory of conservatism, and it's just getting more and more popular — PolitiTweet.org

The combination of an unbearable heat wave in DC and all indoor activities outside the home being deadly plague vectors is pretty bad, I’d say — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinWGlass I went back and forth between that and incel for this reason, but decided that anarchic cruelty fit the character more than entitled rage — PolitiTweet.org

@jaycaspiankang @OsitaNwanevu @mattyglesias I guess the simplest solution is to ban Twitter and nationalize cable news — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@imillhiser @mattyglesias @OsitaNwanevu I'd go further than that. Twitter actually incentivizes otherwise thoughtful writers to become the worst versions of themselves and rewards new entrants who are glib and mean but intellectually shallow. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a collective action problem. It’s in everyone’s best interest to defect to email and blogs, but whoever goes first incurs significant costs and unclear rewards — PolitiTweet.org

This is 100 percent correct, everyone in media knows it, and no one knows how to make it happen — PolitiTweet.org

@liamstack @Yair_Rosenberg It is also genuinely difficult to do several kinds of journalism without it. Someone in a Slack I'm in described it as "I can't do my job well with it, I can't do my job at all without it," and that's right on — PolitiTweet.org

@JustTheFacts37 @JHWeissmann @zachdcarter In Phase I, Twitter replies and retweets will remain disabled until a random sampling of DMs reveals that shittiness remains at controllable levels — PolitiTweet.org

If someone told you, before Trump took office, that unidentified state security officers would start disappearing people into unmarked vans — what would you think had happened to the country? https://t.co/pYnLDfmvE9 — PolitiTweet.org
