If you can't understand that building a tolerant and inclusive society requires excluding intolerance, then please just keep rereading the first half of this tweet and thinking about it until it clicks. Thanks in advance!

Haaretz reporter had the story of the Mossad chief threatening the top ICC prosecutor but Israeli authorities said if he published, he’d "suffer the consequences and get to know the interrogation rooms of the Israeli security authorities from the inside."

I really do not understand the calculus of constantly insulting young people, and presuming what they do or do not know. Also, college students during the CRM didn’t have to understand the entire history of racism to know segregation was immoral. Did BLM protestors have to know the entire history of policing to protest what happened to George Floyd? This sort of haughty dismissal is just strange to me.

Whenever I read about monetary policy it makes me feel hopeless. If the Feds are going to raise rates in order to upend the wage gains of the working class, then--in the absence of a full-scale rejection of Volkerism--what hope do we have as a labor movement??

How quickly the state responds with violent force when the ‘crime’ is peaceful free speech protest of war crimes at home compared to “no red line” and “here’s billions more” for homicidal maniac bombing of children & civilians in Gaza. You now know all you need to know. The rest is up to you.

Remember, pepper spray is oil based. If you get sprayed DO NOT rub your eyes. Immediately blink as much as you can to wash out some of the oil with your own tears. Then, wash your eyes with baby shampoo or dilute dishwashing soap and rinse copiously. Water alone won't do much. Also, take out your contacts.

The assassination of political rivals as an official act.

Understand what the Trump team is arguing for here. Take it seriously and at face value.

This is not a game.

Hey there’s something I want to be clear about: if you’re a lawyer that stands in front of the highest court of the land and argues that homeless people should be criminalized for existing, you are bad and you should feel bad. You deserve to be booed everywhere you go forever.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

While this seems like a good thing, it is not

If an armed squad can round up citizens and lock them in cages without enforcing an actual law, then they are NOT “law enforcement officers”

They’re a military regime.

Fain: It's not a CEO that's going to save us. It's not a president that's going to save us. It's not me and it's not you. It's us. It's a united working class is how we're going to win!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

If you support how these folks voted, I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to let them know.

They will be under relentless pressure and attack. It is important to show support - on the inside, it can often feel like there isn’t.

Call, write, post. It makes a difference.

If you think that trash you just heard from the Supreme Court about protecting J6 rioters will *ever* be applied to peaceful Black protesters, think again. Just yesterday, the Court allowed Louisiana to continue hunting @deray

I'll take this one.

The idea that affirmative action or diversity, equity & inclusion policies equal lower standards is something that a lot of people believe.

Instead of citing what "I believe" like Elon did, let's use facts & a something I like to called "math"

A thread.

This hits home far too much.

There’s an under-reported trend across big US cities (including LA).

Many are facing budget deficits – and preparing to make cuts to services.

All of the deficits share a major cause: electeds gave big raises to police, despite an overall drop in crime.
