If you haven't read, @perrybaconjr and @julia_azari 's look at the Lafayette Square police use of force and the violation of democratic norms...basically a dissection of why this misuse of American institutions is so disturbing. https://t.co/CMAqOeoewu — PolitiTweet.org

*and for the record, I’m sure me not knowing is due to my ignorance. I just was struck by how many people tweeted about a structure in the midst of some pretty bad violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, now much to the chagrin of its pastor, it’s associated with Trump and the tear gas use on peaceful protesters. Kind of an unhappy accident of its proximity to the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

Im fascinated by St. John’s Church having become a focal point in all this. Last night, I noticed so many DC reporter types talking about it as if it were particularly famous. I lived in DC for years and while I recognize the building, didn’t know it to be esp significant — PolitiTweet.org

New pod: We talked about this weekend's protests, police violence (with some data talk) and the Trump's role in all this https://t.co/52erE8Fspr — PolitiTweet.org

The defiant stance that the officers took in the Floyd killing is perhaps representative of a defiant feeling in police more broadly. And we're seeing that all play out nationally as we speak 5/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Clare Malone @ClareMalone

We'll talk abt this on the pod today, & there will be a piece on our site soon, but the pattern of police killings being down in big cities and up in suburban/rural places makes me wonder about the attitudes of police nationwide, as more people are tuned into violent force 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Clare Malone @ClareMalone

Staying on Floyd's neck, even as he calls for his mother, as the bystanders tell them he's in real distress—it's a defiance, an "i can do this" attitude. You see that reflected in police actions this weekend in use of cars as battering rams, arrests of journalists, etc etc. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

The thing that continues to strike me is the dynamic btwn the officers who knew they were being filmed & the bystanders doing the filming. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Here's a reconstruction of George Floyd's death using multiple video angles and EMS calls. 1/ https://t.co/sIvzSdxCyY — PolitiTweet.org

The metaphor is too obvious. His absence, minus words on this website, is pretty extraordinary. — PolitiTweet.org

The evening light, the sheer number of people crossing the bridge right now—it’s like a shot out of a movie. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the screenshot for those of you too lazy to read the whole thing but too guilty to just tweet angrily about the headline or whatever. https://t.co/x29G8fzH9v — PolitiTweet.org

Clare Malone @ClareMalone

I wrote about Trump's tweet and whether the "law and order" strategy of 2016 can work in a deeply-changed, perhaps-more-empathetic America. https://t.co/zaV8DV5ac8 — PolitiTweet.org

NYC already has this improvisation, they're dollar vans, and I'm not sure how pandemic-friendly they are... https://t.co/VflkJEeYWh — PolitiTweet.org

Clare Malone @ClareMalone

We actually have a very concise document that tells us how Trump feels about police brutality. https://t.co/AHCEocTrk5 — PolitiTweet.org

@maggiekb1 Virtual hugs from NYC, Maggie! At least you've been doing v. good journalism in the midst of all this!! — PolitiTweet.org

Clare Malone @ClareMalone

The first ~1:15 of this video is the correspondent a) calmly reporting and b) calmly explaining the crew is willing to go wherever the police wants them to go. Crazy escalation by police. https://t.co/LPlYXABh5d — PolitiTweet.org

This was an interesting discussion! For those craving more "whither the Democratic Party?" content... https://t.co/kaRkht82rq — PolitiTweet.org

*They did not want to talk to me at all. But very tall! Fun to see such tall people in real life. We don't talk about that enough. Also fun fact, I am a former fact checker so all of this was obviously editorializing and Twitter should censor this immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Clare Malone @ClareMalone

Fun fact, I once "met" the Winklevii while covering a gala for a story that never came to be. Spotted them/their dates—one of whom was Alexandria Dadario cc @whoweekly b/c I def. needed to ask the publicist on hand where I recognized her from. — PolitiTweet.org

Clare Malone @ClareMalone

The return of the Winklevii is just as glorious as you'd expect it to be. https://t.co/8YGfM5wMyn — PolitiTweet.org

@gerry_cadava @galendruke @NateSilver538 @FiveThirtyEight Just for that, I'm buying the book rather than emailing your publicist for the freebie. — PolitiTweet.org

Oh, and here is the podcast. You should rate and review us so that advertisers think we're the tits and we can all stay in business. https://t.co/kZmScfUcmd — PolitiTweet.org

Clare Malone @ClareMalone

I've done a decent amount of reporting on white voters, so I had lots of thoughts on that! Most of which can be boiled down to my harangue that we're unhelpfully vague when we talk about class in America. See, this, from a piece I wrote last year: https://t.co/j9nxJztIBT — PolitiTweet.org

Clare Malone @ClareMalone

Then we talked abt a new academic paper that says Trump doesn't have a special appeal to "the white working class" 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Clare Malone @ClareMalone

I thought our newest pod was one of the more interesting convos we've had in a while. We talked about each party's base: First, Dems and black voters and whether they're being taken for granted, per Charlamagne tha God's interview w/Biden. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org
