@billionthb @USConst_18Amend @HistoryBoomer Maybe! Let's see! My point was universal, not about this case.

@USConst_18Amend @HistoryBoomer Maybe! Let's see.

@mattyglesias Could be wokeism has more than a 2 yr decay for people to engage politically with the people who embraced it. Jim Crowe was 60 years ago and the presentists still feature it in the discourse. And Tulsa.

@nickgillespie Labelism always reduces the dimension of the truth. Don't be a labelist.

[CounterPoint @505Takes]

@nickgillespie Our nation was founded by white Christians who believed in certain principles and ideals. They came from places in Europe that those ideas germinated from.

Both things are true.

@jonatanpallesen @EWErickson He's a tiny bit less arrogant and a lot smarter than Ezzie Klein. So we have that going for us.

@charlescwcooke Everyone knows her type. She was the bartender who would walk out the front door during peak service, then show up giggling through the swinging doors of the kitchen after a few lines and having screwed over the rest of the front of house staff.

@mysteriouskat There are great arguments for cooperation, progressive taxation, all the rest of it. But without being coupled to the societal necessity of human agency and responsibility they are doomed. Oppression orthodoxy has had it's day in the sun. It lost. It needs to go.

@mysteriouskat Everything affects you somehow. Expecting people not to act most forcefully on the things that affects them the most *as they see it* is unreasonable and dumb politics.

[CounterPoint @505Takes]

@mysteriouskat What does "must" mean in that sentence?

[CounterPoint @505Takes]

@HistoryBoomer Slow news day in academia one supposed.

[CounterPoint @505Takes]

@USConst_18Amend @HistoryBoomer It's not legal for government officials to leak certain kinds of information to the press. It's similar to employment contract law. It has nothing to do with the first amendment. Now, whether that happened in this case is certainly uncertain / may not be true.

@mattyglesias @CharlesFLehman "We are malnourishing our laziest and most culturally maladroit citizens by asking them to cook one hour per day and must make free food available to them in a store they will loot and force to close within 6 weeks of opening it, like all the other stores near them."

@chrislhayes What exactly do we have to hand to Democrats?

[CounterPoint @505Takes]

@jessesingal Not a fan of conflating leaking with free speech. Your employment status is certainly not protected by unlimited free speech about your employer. Even if your employer is the government. That includes leaks.

@jaynordlinger Both ideas can be true and are true. It's dumb to pretend they are not.
