Illiberalism on the left is a real problem.

But voting for Donald Trump to stem the rising tide of illiberalism would be a huge moral and strategic mistake.

The severely flawed & dangerous study that this new paper thoroughly debunks received a swarm of media attention because it was congruent with woke orthodoxy on gender dysphoria.

It seems only right that we spread this take-down as far & wide as possible. https://t.co/X6K9s43sKw

If Dolezal and Krug eagerly took on oppression by proxy, they are indications of progress on race despite the setbacks. If being black really were the daily degradation we are often told, these two would have chosen other ways of performing their lives.

"Woke activists have brilliantly managed to construct a crude moral binary to pressure liberals into submission. And it's worked like a charm."

Twitter Shuts Down Entire Network To Slow Spread Of Negative Biden News https://t.co/JPmjOrKPcr via @TheBabylonBee Wow, this has never been done in history. This includes his really bad interview last night. Why is Twitter doing this. Bringing more attention to Sleepy Joe & Big T

This is not the behaviour of a police force in a free society. Hauling someone into a police station for something someone said to them in an interview? Shame on the @metpoliceuk. Solidarity with @darrengrimes https://t.co/uRs3Vqb0dy

Now, when a business gains attention for reports of racist conduct, Yelp will place a new Business Accused of Racist Behavior Alert on their Yelp page to inform users, along with a link to a news article where they can learn more. https://t.co/1K2bJ46uM8

Great thinkers don’t boast about how much they know. They marvel at how little they understand.
