I think so much of our free speech debate suffers from treating things that are actually on a spectrum as black-and-white issues. — PolitiTweet.org

This letter is mostly interesting as an exercise in Frege's sense/reference distinction. The literal meaning, the reference, is uncontroversial. The intension of the letter, the sense, is to inflate a marginal problem into a grave crisis of liberal democracy itself. — PolitiTweet.org

I found this passage on the legacy of the Holocaust and Jewish historical memory particularly striking https://t.co/O1WAl5bOmO — PolitiTweet.org

Striking essay by @PeterBeinart making the case for a one-state solution. I don't agree with all of it, but his perspective needs to be heard — especially in the American Jewish community https://t.co/pWhqVjiUmF — PolitiTweet.org

Just had an academic tell me they were afraid to voice their opinion for fear of retaliation. The opinion in question was that there's no such thing as cancel culture; they were afraid that the campus free speech warriors would go after them and ruin their reputation. — PolitiTweet.org

"The police have been in the midst of an epic ideological battle...In the last 10 to 15 years, the more toxic elements have been far more influential” https://t.co/3hrtLxBVJ5 — PolitiTweet.org

I spent the past month interviewing former officers and experts to understand how police see the world. I uncovered a kind of police ideology that helps us understand why racist violence is an enduring feature of American policing. https://t.co/94wxuNWJPX — PolitiTweet.org

Two vital points from Osita's piece. 1. Our current debate isn't between liberalism and some "successor," but rather an internal argument between different species of liberalism. 2. "Reactionary" liberalism's vision is distorted by an obsession with social media. https://t.co/iO4bGEAzBH — PolitiTweet.org

In February, I argued that "identity politics" was saving liberalism: https://t.co/D8X0F8Xhkt Now @OsitaNwanevu is out with a great complimentary piece on how the liberal critics of anti-racism and "cancel culture" are betraying their own creed https://t.co/V69F9L1bqC — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This great @OsitaNwanevu piece on how reactionary liberals are betraying liberalism (https://t.co/V69F9L1bqC) pairs well with my piece from February on how identity politics is actually saving it https://t.co/D8X0F8Xhkt — PolitiTweet.org

This is unintentionally a perfect illustration of why Congress shouldn’t be able to govern DC as a vassal: (white) members mostly don’t know or care about its residents — PolitiTweet.org
