@mtaibbi Trump et al embrace censorship when it benefits them: e.g., banning AP for not accepting the Gulf of America; removing references to trans people from Stonewall monument; banning any mention of words deemed woke ("inclusive", "diversity"). Hypocrisy reigns on all sides.
@mtaibbi Do you take issue with the latest attempt to counter "indoctrination" by curbing open enquiry and free speech or are you reserving your outrage these days to Anyone But Trump? (and, yes - I get the irony...)

@treyradel@ggreenwald denying climate change; gutting EPA wetland regs; replacing the Clean Power Plan; banning Muslim immigrants (even if it took 3x); Rule 42 (un-American); attempt to hijack the census with the citizenship question... want more? Honestly, climate change is enough by itself
@SystemUpdate_ Agree totally on the crimes and scary acts couched in the war on terror. But you underestimate the societal impact of Trump: he inflames the worst in us (insults, resentments, hatreds)- no solutions or constructive policies. It is indeed dangerous.
@brithume Many statements are "true" but do no belong in education standards: enslaved women benefitted from loving the babies they had by white masters/rapists; Jews learned new skills in concentration camps; blacks found better paying jobs when forced to migrate for fear of lynching. 🤬
@ggreenwald@benshapiro I very much appreciate your views and insights, but I am curious about whether you are downplaying the danger Trump poses (not in terms of the security state) due to his denial of the threat posed by climate change and by his willingness to violate women's bodily autonomy
@RealSkipBayless I can't even. This is not rocket science. Of course they can reschedule it. I'd say "what is wrong with you?" but I'm trying to make the internet a better place
@ggreenwald The vaccine works to prevent you from dying; not, so it seems, from contracting the delta variant and spreading it. You're an intelligent person: not sure why you don't get that. "Dreary images"? We're still in the midst of a pandemic... Suck it up.
@brithume The top 1% account for 30% of U.S. WEALTH. Economic inequality is on the rise. Middle and lower income families do not get "fair" opportunities. This isn't because the top 1% work harder..... Use your big brain to look at the big picture.
@tanzinavega You're missing the fact that every developed country has low birthrates, even those with social support networks (Sweden, Norway, etc.). We need those but be honest about the root causes of plunging birthrates.
