From Bari Weiss substack post — a quote from Heinrich Heine written 1834. He knew. He just really knew. How? ⁦@bariweiss⁩

1. (THREAD) So, it seems like the deplatforming debate is once again kicking off, so I thought I would introduce some of the earlier work that was done in this area back when ISIS was buck wild on social media. What have we learned over the last six years might be useful today:

“The responsibility for Trump’s push to overturn an election must be shared by a very large number of Republican members of Congress.” https://t.co/vy5Viytllv

BREAKING: My office is supporting federal law enforcement efforts to investigate NCians who participated in the raid on the U.S. Capitol. If you have any information about a NCian who participated in this lawless insurrection, please email [email protected] .

Venezuela expresses its concern over the violence and instability in the U.S.

If those assholes looked like me they woulda been dead three times over before they got a mile from a Capitol balcony.

No idea how they got him to do this.

1/20. Democracy is precious and exceptional.

It's time for news organizations to cover Trump's current moves as an effort to steal the election. No more euphemisms. That's what they're doing. And no, the fact that it is not going to work doesn't give you an escape clause from describing it clearly and accurately.

[Shahar Link @snlink]

Obvious to anyone who is paying attention.

Nice article on the problems that come with being an identitarian, especially regarding antisemitism. While I think there is some room for the push for more equity, the author makes clear the awful consequences of going to extremes. https://t.co/ds6NFTGREp

@MrAtheistPants I read your book and thought it was pretty good. Turns out you are actually not smart. Sad.

[John McWhorter @JohnHMcWhorter]

A masterpiece from ⁦@bariweiss⁩. In future anthologies of articles on the Great Awokening, this will always be near the front. Learn here about The Elect's takeover, assuming they are bringing Good News and happy to make people cry while doing it. https://t.co/C0fcsbJWnH

They’re not “militias.” They’re domestic terrorists endangering and intimidating their fellow Americans. Words matter.

[Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis]

At this point, have more people in Trump’s entourage been convicted of crimes or infected with SARS-CoV-2?

[Katie Porter @katieporterca]

Retweet if you paid more than Donald Trump in taxes.
