There are no promo headlines on Twitter any more. Paul must have schedule posted this in October.
It’s interesting how many trolls react to the promo headline on Twitter and are too illiterate to actually read the column.

People who support the rape and murder of Oct 7 are outraged by someone politely making a point.
“Thank you for walking through neighborhoods with your terrorist scarf.” A Harvard graduate student wearing a keffiyeh, was subjected to Islamophobic harassment on campus by Eve Gerber, wife of Jason Furman, professor at Harvard's Kennedy School and a former Obama Admin advisor.

There is no 'academic freedom'. If you don't parrot the critical social justice ideological line you can't be an academic. You guys remind me of the pilgrims who came to America for the "religious freedom" to persecute other people.
Threats to academic freedom at Penn reached alarming new heights today. Unelected trustees with no academic expertise are attempting a hostile takeover of the core academic functions of the University of Pennsylvania. 🧵 Philly Inquirer has the story:

Hamas is calling it an "Israeli Nazi occupation". I hope Australian journalists report this fairly and don't prioritize those jewish denials of being Nazis #progressive #rightsideofhistory
BREAKING: HAMAS OFFICIAL STATEMENT “We strongly condemn the Israeli Nazi occupation's arrest of Dr. Muhammad Abu Salamiya, general director of the Al-Shifa Hospital, along with several medical staff who remained at the facility to help patients and wounded evacuate.. We see

I agree the media shouldn't 'both sides' the war - by equating the propaganda and crimes of barbaric terrorists with the actions of the only democracy in the middle east defending itself.

I look at Twitter about 5 minutes a day now: The sheer cretinous stupidity and muddle headed takes from uneducated morons dancing for claps from slightly stupider morons does my head in.

What sort of tiny minded undemocratic throwbacks complain about opposition members being on TV? It isn't Russia you know.

Who would have thought that letting the Chinese government control a major social media platform was a bad idea?
Over the past 24 hours, thousands of TikToks (at least) have been posted where people share how they just read Bin Laden’s infamous "Letter to America," in which he explained why he attacked the United States. The TikToks are from people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and

Let's elevate this!!! "We never call our opponents 'haters,' 'bigots,' 'homophobes,' 'transphobes,' or 'fascists'... I don't want to lock them into an identity that may not be true that I won't allow them to evolve out of." I can't stress enough how critical this decision has
How can activists be part of the solution to improving our politics? @TroyWilliamsUT and @EqualityUtah have set a great example while achieving what once seemed impossible, advancing LGBTQ rights in a heavily republican state.

I've definitely seen people marching in support of terrorism
I’ve never heard of a protest march specifically AGAINST a ceasefire. like I literally can’t recall that ever happening. Anyone have an example?

The sheer amount of Hamas propaganda the media is running is astonishing. Don't journalists realize that anything anyone says in Gaza is implicitly or explicitly controlled by Hamas? You don't get to criticise or go against the Hamas narrative in Gaza and live to tell about it

Finally an outbreak of evidence-based common sense! There is a significant current #COVID surge. COVID is airborne. N95 masks reduce transmission risk.

Serkan needs to be shunned by anyone who doesnt believe in Jewish conspiracy theories
Peak antipodean “It’s the Jews’ fault” but it’s not even noon on Wednesday. I’m betting it’ll be beaten by week’s end. The 💰emoji is particularly subtle.

The top of the list clearly says: معركة طوفان الأقصى Which translates to “the battle of the flood of (or flooding of) Al Aqsa”
Not a Borat Sketch! The IDF Spokesman points to a random calendar at the Rantisi hospital as "evidence" of a "hostage keepers' list" with "terrorists' names". But the ONLY thing on that "list" is literally the days of the week (Saturday-Friday). No tunnels, no weapon stash...🧵

Twitter used to do this too. Musk may have ruined many things about Twitter but at least he stopped this pernicious opaque censorship with no accusation and no appeal
It would be helpful if @Meta provided information on what "community violations" @Quillette has made. They don't provide a single example, but just inform me that our page cannot be monetised & is at risk of deletion. 🤷♀️

@wesyang Before these pseudoscholars could be identified by having humanities degrees in "[real subject] studies," which was really just Critical Theory applied to that subject. But that fooled some people into thinking they were actual experts in the field they were critiquing. And now

For more than a generation, defence policy and much else has been increasingly determined by the dictates of Israel’s religious settler lobby and its Messianic visions.
