Republicans have settled on a ridiculous shell game when [for Republican presidents] during impeachments the only remedy for gross presidential misconduct is the criminal justice system, and when there's an indictment the only remedy is impeachment

Once again, the NYT not denying the underlying reporting that their lead publisher - AG Sulzberger - has been pushing negative stories on Biden to punish him for not sitting down for an interview with them. You don’t have a denial in their official or unofficial responses

There should have been a full-court press from the White House, Senate Dems, & House Dems over the past year calling for Thomas to stand down, and insisting at a minimum he recuse himself from all Trump cases. Oh, and Senate Dems should have forced him to appear at committee.

When I first saw this "Black New Yorker" I thought wait, that's Vish Burra, George Santos's top staffer and at least until recently head of NYC young republicans. Also long time troll of mine. And yes, far as I know he's South Asian. Lol

Can someone inform the dozens of lefties replying to this tweet that "mixing it up" here means "fighting with" not "socializing with"? I'm sure they'll adjust their beliefs about me accordingly
Politico story about the relationship between the Biden Administration and the New York Times is burying the lede that Biden's press team are secretly colluding with NYT Pitchbot

a lot of ppl, including a lot of big lawyers, insist that there would be no end in sight to court reform and like. if nothing is done, what do you think the alternative is? The fact is, the rest of the world doesn’t operate like this, and their courts are the better for it

BREAKING: The FCC just voted to restore net neutrality. The commission has decided to fully restore the net neutrality rules repealed under Trump. This decision will help ensure fair access to an open internet for all.
Iranian students were dragged out of their dormitories & beaten by the Basijis for standing up for freedom. Some were sexually assaulted. Many banned from leaving the country & suspended. Why can’t we speak for students in the US without undermining Iranian students’ plight?

the UK libel system is bad but its outcomes are sometimes good.

Something that drives me a little insane, I'll admit, is that Trump's OWN LAWYERS at his impeachment told the Senators to vote not to convict him BECAUSE he could be prosucuted if it came to that. Now they're arguing that the only way he could be prosecuted is if they convicted.

Columbia protestors and alumni keep mentioning 1968 like they scored some historic victory because they made the school look bad, got plans for gymnasium cancelled, and got the school to disaffiliate with some intelligence think tank, but in real terms they accomplished nothing
@BeijingPalmer Under the circumstances “avoiding law enforcement surveillance” seems like a totally rational, independent rationale for this
@owenrumney @BeijingPalmer David Berge is fine with that
This Friday the game 'Manor Lord' is coming out, it's a medieval city builder that I've made a modest contribution to as a historical consultant and beta tester for. I've been very excited about it for a long time and I'm not the only one, it's creating quite a buzz and has ended…
the fun thing is if Kent State happened today it would actually be one of the least lethal campus shootings we’ve had recently. four dead gets you two, three days tops
This guy's entire shtick lately is just highlighting all the different people who find him unbearable and being like "Get a load of who *else* sees through my pathetic schoolyard bully routine to the wounded, unpopular child who is obviously lurking underneath lmaoooo!!"
@BeijingPalmer True, but today’s cops need virtually no provocation or threat of violence to turn violent themselves. They’ve been trained to think of us as their literal enemies since the drug war
@BeijingPalmer Vuong is a fine poet and his work is far from 'ahistorical.' His first book of poetry has a long verse poem about the fall of Saigon.
@BeijingPalmer They only say that because the far right are anti vax Covid denialists. If far right wore masks the far left would ostentatiously proclaim their refusal to do so. Calling them sheep is an insult to sheep
if they adopt this rule, biden should seek six vacancies on the supreme court via the means which would then become legal
Kagan: How about if the president orders the military to stage a coup? Sauer: If one adopted the test we advanced, that might well be an official act
@BeijingPalmer Yes, but things can escalate quickly in tinderboxes where securitised repression makes students dig in. Common sense should’ve dictated that anyone annoyed by these protests should have waited 1 week for students to go home for summer rather than inflaming the protests w/ police.
As illustrated in the film “Prince of Egypt,” an absolute heater from top to bottom
@janecoaston Most awkward part of the Ten Commandments is when Moses’ snake eats the Egyptian clerics’ snakes, implying there are a bunch of gods that transform sticks into snakes, but Moses’ is the GOAT god.
Shocking that anyone would ever think this sermon about crafty cosmopolitan Jews secretly infiltrating movements to infect them with Zionism might be a little antisemitic
Speaker at Berkeley tent encampment critiques the infiltration of "Zionism" into American feminism. Naming Betty Friedan, she says, "Jewish women participated vivaciously in this, and sometimes imported Zionist political operations into feminist networks themselves."
@BeijingPalmer The admin urge to Do Something escalates risks like crazy though, in a way that people seem constantly incapable of incorporating. All it takes is a cop shoving over a bystander like Martin Gugino and congrats your university is an accomplice to murder
This argument makes the rounds from time to time and conservatives like to lose their minds about people making it, but no one takes this seriously. Even the people who make the argument don’t believe it.
@vituperativeerb @BeijingPalmer Geographically, it makes more sense. If realist IR theory was descriptively correct we would still be allies with Iran.
@alexludoboyd Hah. Reminds me of browsing in a Moscow bookstore during a 2004 trip. Saw a 'study English'(?) software package full of model love letters for ladies to send to foreign boy friends.
@BeijingPalmer It's late April in the US, so it should be nice but the no rain should be a bit concerning
