Two roads diverged into a wood, and I...I took the one more traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

@DouthatNYT How prescient...maybe. You always did fancy yourself as a modern day prophet.

[Harland A. L. @AvengingLiberal]

@DouthatNYT Congratulations Ross. You've made it to the big leagues. No more low paid, grubby newspaper work. No more pleasing progressive, woke bosses. Now you will become a rich TV celebrity. "Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, I am free at last!"
P.S. Good luck.

@mcottle ...against the Marxist proletariat and other leftist radicals advocating "social ownership" of the means of production. That means you, Democratic Socialists of America.
P.S. Michelle, what's with these intentionally comical photos of you? There must be an interesting reason.

[Harland A. L. @AvengingLiberal]

@DouthatNYT ...wish to eliminate "bourgeois" enterprises.
P.S. Ross, I have very little patience with people like Sunkara. He is basically misleading people.

[Harland A. L. @AvengingLiberal]

@DouthatNYT ...competing against Tiawan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company? Marx understood this challenge, and that is why he believed worker revolutions needed to capture governments and eliminate the TSMCs of the world. Scandinavian social democrats are much more pragmatic and don't...2/

It followed me home 🦝🤣

[Harland A. L. @AvengingLiberal]

@DouthatNYT A HEROIC AGE IS STILL AHEAD OF US. Today, Erling Haaland the Great and The Vikings will do battle with England. May the best men win.

@Politics_Reply @lymanstoneky ...tested "food stamps", go ahead, but you will make yourself look ridiculous.
P.S. I'm curious to know whether you believe the public school system is welfare.

[Harland A. L. @AvengingLiberal]

@Politics_Reply @lymanstoneky ...point by stating that Social Security is not like private, contractual insurance policies because Congress can change eligibility requirements, retirement age, and benefit levels anytime they want. So if you want to call Social Security a welfare program such as means...2/

@DouthatNYT Ross, and excellent interview with the wayfarer, Rod Dreher, a man of sorrows and sufferings. Sure, it's a heartache...if you have unrealistic expectations about life and politics.
P.S. A tribute to the late Bonny Tyler.

@DouthatNYT "Since the 1600s, my own ancestors have begun again as pig farmers and bicycle salesmen, as lobster fishermen and lawyers, as artists and poets. And now, God help us, as newspaper columnists." 😂
P.S. Please God, keep Ross from becoming an annoying, sanctimonious politician. 🙏

@DouthatNYT "Damn! Drove out to California only to find Walley World closed. My kids are going to hate me. Hey...this would make a great movie with multiple sequels. A real franchise...books, toys, games. Fuck you money."
P.S. Forget it Ross. Hurry up and write your next column.

@thebigmcd @SCOTUSblog ...birthright citizenship, unlike the narrow class of foreign diplomats and American Indians who were not under the complete political authority of the American government.

[Harland A. L. @AvengingLiberal]

@thebigmcd @SCOTUSblog ...their arguement hinged on the 14th Amendment phrase, "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." They made clear that Wong's parents were under the complete political authority of the United States government despite being Chinese citizens, and that is what gave Wong his...4/
