Upon hearing from a Gaza man that he pitched a tent with his family in a pile of rubble, and his kids are on the verge of starvation and they have no running water or electricity, @steveinskeep of @npr asks, "What do you think of Hamas?" What a stone cold sociopath.
@SamHarrisOrg "I think." Lol. We are POSSIBLY more "lost" now than the eras of slavery, apartheid, brutal subjugation of women, sanctions that killed half a million Iraqi kids, the invasions of multiple countries based on lies, and indiscriminate bombing of civilians?
These cops are throwing women to the ground in a city & state where Democrats have a supermajority.
Democrats support funding the police and military just like the GOP because that is how capitalist parties operate.
THEY POLICE THE COLLAPSE THAT THEIR SYSTEM AND POLICIES CAUSE.
They lied to us about:
- Iraq
- Afghanistan
- Syria
- Libya
- Vietnam
- North Korea
- Iran
- Venezuela
- Guatemala
- Honduras
- Haiti
- Cuba
- Panama
- Nicaragua
…But they're telling the truth about Ukraine
@jimmy_dore@miserablelib@SocialistMMA Gibberish! But counting the number of times she used certain words is edifying.

@BrianLehrer@DraperRobert@WNYC Pleeeeeease mention that many in the Afghan army and national police force hadn't been paid in months and we're low on FOOD and supplies. This context is massively important and it's never mentioned.
@AOC @GOPLeader I think your autocorrect fucked up and inserted a worthless imperative. I fixed your tweet:
"H̶e̶ ̶m̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶r̶e̶s̶i̶g̶n̶ We must fight Pelosi & Schumer like hell to EXPEL McCarthy, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and all others who continued the lies and incitement after the violence."
@BrianLehrer@TIME@mollyesque Why isn't there any talk of expelling Sen. Josh Hawley? Seems that would be a stronger deterrent than trying to remove trump at this point. And less grandstanding.
@BrianLehrer the future of New York depends on 1. Allowing public health experts to take the lead. 2. Not telling insane lies like "we didn't lose a single life we could have saved" -Cuomo 3. A wealth tax and speculation tax to provide a bare minimum quality of life.
I'm genuinely curious how you, @ezraklein, personally judge these robust ideological debates (and the many others) that result in bipartisan conservative policies year after year?
@ezraklein You said to Felicia Wong "I think it is unhealthy to have healthy ideological debates that never create policy resolution that can then be judged."
What about debates on "defense", tax cuts, AUMF, Med4All, etc., that always result in bipartisan conservative policies?
@BrianLehrer@emilybazelon@ElieNYC@WNYC Thank god @ElieNYC was on to state simple but uncomfortable facts. @emilybazelon your euphemisms and soft-pedaling of the problem are integral to maintaining the horrifying status quo. Elie's emphasis on corrupt and cowardly prosecutors was refreshing.
@BrianLehrer are you going to keep having polite #askthemayor conversations with De Blasio, and allow him to blatantly lie to you and us without aggressive (maybe impolite) but 100% honest and objective pushback?
When de Blasio's staffers shared videos or accounts of unprovoked police brutality, de Blasio would immediately call NYPD Commissioner Shea, who’d reassure him that the force was justified, the source said. “Everything had an explanation.” https://t.co/7JomZYFd8Z
