@mattyglesias @firasd For Ackman, it wasn’t only about Israel, per se. The Campuses exploded and exposed a hypocrisy around speech, diversity, and academic freedom that many who don’t follow these issues had been previously unaware of.

@DaltonHarris99 @BryanRAnderson No thanks I’ll just live in a state that isn’t trying its best to become a third world shit hole that’s abandoned the fundamental principles and purpose of the nation

JUST IN: Senate has overridden Cooper's veto of #SB382 by party-line vote of 30-19. Bill goes next to House for final approval. A lawsuit expected to follow. #ncpol

All too common reaction from a NY driver when you point out there's no parking or driving in a 'protected' #BikeNYC lane (this was at 2nd Ave & 67th Street, 👋 @JulieMenin). But sure, cyclists are the real scofflaws, right? 🤦 #carbrain

@Rheiji1 @jimbobimbobjoe @fawfulfan They’re not the same. Some homeowners own condos/multi-family units. Some homeowners aren’t interested in selling and moving at any realistic price, so are different from those open to selling for development.

@james_dedir @jimbobimbobjoe @fawfulfan Uh landowners and homeowners are on the same side (because they're the same thing). It's (some) developers (others benefit from keeping out the competition) and renters pushing for change, mostly.

Here's the big three things Democrats need to follow to fix the problems in their cities: 1. Police fairly but consistently. You don't have to jail people for minor offenses, but stop and ticket them. Don't let quality of life crimes go unpunished.

@mjs_DC so, lawsuits up the ying-yang, no. b/c I'm guessing this shit isn't constitutional.

@mjs_DC Seems pretty bright 🌞 to most of us! And, nothing corrupt about passing a bill that is good for NC.

@BryanRAnderson Oh no! A Democrat house and Senate in 80's changed the EXACT same law stripping power from then NC Republican Governor. Now we care about double standards. I don't trust Democrats abilities to be beholden to their voters much less laws.

@CA_Commissioner This is the kind of thing Dems always do when they lose power. It’s about time Republicans grow a set.

@thefurlinator @LittleMammith I think a country that feels poor and desperate is going to be a lot more selfish and unwilling to contribute to a common good, which benefits Republicans

@LittleMammith I don’t agree that it structurally benefits Republicans, I think it benefits whoever the opposition is. And Bernie praised Biden constantly! He was legit one of Biden’s strongest backers and didn’t want him to drop out even (which I think he was wrong about in the end)

Are we supposed to feel bad about caring whether or not the things we say are true? Does it make me a "smug liberal" because I don't think politicians should lie? Is that really where we're going with this?
Ben Aybar 🦑🧲@BenAybar

The reason some people like Bernie and don't like liberals simultaneously can be perfectly encapsulated in the freakout some people are having about the "60% living paycheck to paycheck" stat Bernie says stuff people feel like is true, smug liberals attack him for it
