@BillAckman@NYCMayor Can you ever suggest something to reduce inequality? You and your current wife live a showily baronial life style because you manipulate markets. You are not a moral authority to be listened to.
@BillAckman@BarackObama@HillaryClinton I think that the shift occurred in response to openly racist rhetoric and anti-immigrant violence. People saw that people like you wanted only SOME people kept out of the U.S. and that this was against our values.
@LailaAlarian Blinken and Sullivan obviously wanted this article to help them, but the reporting makes them look terrible. Not one person reading this will say, "These people are off the hook now! They meant well." The notion that the article is selling DNC propaganda is absurd.
This piece has been accused of whitewashing Biden administration officials' complicity in Gaza. While officials who cooperated with the reporting surely intended that, the resulting article is packed with new details that utterly damn them. https://t.co/FCkiN3pnrh
@LevineJonathan Yes, it was Plumber Hatred by semiotics majors! Not a conclusion, including by many young Jews, that Israel's response to Oct. 7th was sickeningly disproportionate and needlessly killed tens of thousands of civilians. This trivializing theory shows how morally hollow you are.
@sidrosenberg19 "All class," you say, in this embarrassing, vile post that shows how puerile your fixation is. You know nothing about class. And he won the election—stop squawking about it like a little child.
@visegrad24 Throwing around a massive, unverified number like 250,000 without official, peer-reviewed statistical backing is pure propaganda. Exploiting horrific crimes to stoke racial division doesn't bring justice to survivors; it just weaponizes their pain for political points.
The 250k figure comes from a 2018 House of Lords speech by Lord Pearson. He extrapolated Rotherham’s Jay Report (~1,400 victims) plus Telford/Oxford cases to a national total for “young white girls raped… very largely by Muslim men.”
It is not from any official victimization survey, national dataset, or comprehensive study. Fact-checks (Full Fact, etc.) call the extrapolation unreliable, as rates aren’t uniform and most child sexual abuse isn’t organized “grooming gangs” by one group.
The specific scandals (Rotherham, Rochdale, etc.) are real and involved clear ethnic patterns + institutional failures, but this precise number is activist math, not established fact. The new Lowe report just repeats it as “previously established.”
