@jbouie Gants of New York is mediocre except for DDL's performance, which is brilliant. The Aviator is downright bad, by far the worst Scorcese I've seen. — PolitiTweet.org

This by @RonBrownstein is very good https://t.co/gwWhyP7CzD — PolitiTweet.org

Brand new Gallup poll suggests a pro-choice backlash is coming after Roe is overturned https://t.co/VUaJBkoKXC — PolitiTweet.org

@BenBurgis I think that's plausibly the intent, but it's a very very very thin reed to rest the case on given how evilly the bugs are depicted in the movie — literally eating brains! Also I think this point about its protagonist perspective is generally right https://t.co/StPG2GBSsJ — PolitiTweet.org

@HeerJeet Hard to see how destroying Buenos Aires is defensive. Also the way the film elevates the combat heroism of Johnny et al — and the seemingly sentient Brain Bug literally slurping down human brains — does a lot to undermine those more subtle points — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
Same thing with Starship Troopers, which is widely celebrated as an anti-fascist satire but actually depicts the bugs as monsters who nuke a major human city — PolitiTweet.org

This was the fundamental problem with True Blood. The show very explicitly used human-vampire marriage as. a parable for same-sex marriage, except that it also went out of its way to show that almost all vampires were evil creatures who really just wanted to eat people — PolitiTweet.org

Great example of a tweet that is incomprehensible outside of the hardcore conspiracy bubble she inhabits (in which it is widely believed that Trudeau is actually Fidel Castro’s son) https://t.co/YbucyDrrk9 — PolitiTweet.org

@speechboy71 @SeanTrende Mine too, fwiw. I think there will be a Roe effect but I’m genuinely unsure as to whether it’ll be big enough to swamp fundamentals — PolitiTweet.org

Also her pronunciation is delightful. Robin is “obbits” Joker is “cho-kehr” And Batman is simply “MAN” (always in all caps) — PolitiTweet.org

@SeanTrende yeah that's a separate point, i've been arguing here that there are good reasons to think it will be but there are obviously fairly strong counterarguments — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@SeanTrende that's why i said midterm, given the different dynamics in presidential and midterm elections in terms of voter engagement and energy. but that's certainly a relevant comparison — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@SeanTrende are there any comparable modern cases to a political shock on the order of roe being overturned happening in q3 of a midterm year? i can't think of any — PolitiTweet.org

Matt is right. What Romney said wasn't true in 2012 and isn't true today. If you soften his statement to "Russia is bad," then sure! But that's not what he said and it's not what Obama disagreed with. — PolitiTweet.org

@PeterBeinart @harryreis @MairavZ @abesilbe I think the better analogy is an imam saying that ISIS doesn’t represent Islam, making textual and theological arguments that they are wrong about how to read the tradition on the whole. I think that’s valuable and in a deep sense correct, same goes for Judaism — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@PeterBeinart @harryreis @MairavZ @abesilbe Saying “this isn’t us” is a form of strategic essentialism: a tool in the struggle over what the tradition can and should be. In that sense, I think it’s worth insisting on. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@PeterBeinart @harryreis @MairavZ @abesilbe But the key point of disagreement is how we talk about those as Jews. What speaks for the tradition as a whole is ultimately up to us as a collective, a process of disputation and struggle. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@PeterBeinart @harryreis @MairavZ @abesilbe First, the agreement: it is correct that Judaism, like any major faith tradition or political ideology, contains unsavory ideas that can justify and even encourage cruelty. That’s undeniable. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
Been thinking a lot about this response from @PeterBeinart, supported by a lot of smart folks like @harryreis @MairavZ @abesilbe. I agree with it in one sense, and vehemently disagree in another. https://t.co/A5z2FUgZo1 — PolitiTweet.org

@yeselson My first tweet was less an analytic statement than a normative one, in-group condemnation phrased in the language of essential group identity markets and values — PolitiTweet.org
