Seems like you can have sports in a bubble. Or you can not have sports. — PolitiTweet.org

We were confused about whether Twitter had *already* banned the former Grand Wizard of the KKK. Turns out they were just catching up. https://t.co/qF6JXCGXss — PolitiTweet.org

I was born after Tommie Smith and John Carlos; I was too young for Ali. Never seen an athlete with that much spotlight - one of the most famous people in the world - use it to promote justice. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve never seen anything like that LeBron interview on live TV. — PolitiTweet.org

“Look. I can give you real inside info. No one else has this. But you gotta protect me here. Can’t use my name.” “Got it.” https://t.co/c59KSwFm9o — PolitiTweet.org

@ditzkoff pretty interested in that pizza tbh — PolitiTweet.org

@NYCMayor Have a great time! https://t.co/AZ6c9SNGCw — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Telling citizens you will provide an update and then not doing so is... not good! Luckily my local rep has done the work you won’t. https://t.co/OmR7Oo4t50 Thanks for literally nothing, NYC Mayor’s social media team. — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeIsaac I mean, they always played up the local taco truck guy etc. but yeah they always have and still want Big Brandz — PolitiTweet.org

@NYCMayorsOffice Nothing? — PolitiTweet.org

@epaley @superfamine That’s the point of Eric’s thread. We are just trying to make real-world, short-term compromises to get through the next year (I hope). — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@epaley @superfamine But, also: *no one* thinks it’s good for kids to stay home. (Though many “open the schools” advocates have previously never evinced much interest in at-risk kids) And *no one* wants people to get sick or die. — PolitiTweet.org

@epaley @superfamine Everything is disruptive. It's 2020! If they can see classmates in teachers IRL for a few months or weeks I'll take it. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@epaley @superfamine Which actually makes this a bit more freeing for me; I'm not investing a ton of energy thinking that plan A, B, C is the one we'll have all year. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@epaley @superfamine Which is another thing I think we aren't frank about. I have *very* low confidence that the back-to-school plans NYC DOE is talking about now will be in place come December. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@epaley @superfamine Well, the whole conversation is about triage, right? These are all stop-gap, temporary solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

This is a very useful thread. No good answers, but lots of obvious questions we should be asking. Also, some basic, uncomfortable reality about the trade offs we will be making for the next year (or more) — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@NYCMayorsOffice Any updates? — PolitiTweet.org

Brian is good with questions, btw. May have a future in the media business. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Here's me talking to @brianstelter except Brian's the one asking questions, which is not how we normally do it. In this conversation: Netflix, Netflix, Streaming Wars, Netflix. https://t.co/adG3h2DPVP — PolitiTweet.org

@dereknystrom1 It *might* be but I have never seem him eat pizza? So I treat that endorsement with a degree of skepticism. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@dereknystrom1 Trump's Razor is that the dumbest answer is the answer. He also followed this tweet up with an endorsement for Patio Pizza. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

On the other hand this syncs quite well with my plan to not do dishes or laundry today. — PolitiTweet.org

Hopefully everyone has their phones charged, so we can keep tweeting. This geography includes many Blue Check Marks, some of whom don't have summer homes. — PolitiTweet.org

I've been waiting for WFH to meet up NYC power grid that routinely fails in the summer and today's the day! Like chocolate and peanut butter. — PolitiTweet.org
