5/ And it is valid for employers and schools to think about the character of the people they employ and admit and allow to matriculate...But I certainly wish the asshole no physical harm or harassment via phone, mail, or anything else...Glad we had this talk

4/ I stand by the belief that people who do racist shit on camera should suffer consequences for that. It speaks not just to racism but piss poor judgment that employers and schools might want to know about...it calls into question the character of the person in question...

3/ But if I have to constantly explain the plain meaning of what I was saying because my use of the term "wreck him" was taken as a call for violence (despite the obvious context of the full tweet), then it's not worth the misunderstanding...

2/ I did NOT dox him or ask any1 else to. I did not call 4 anyone 2 harass him. I feel there should b consequences -- academic conduct code & professional consequences -- 4 his behavior. He is free to be an asshole and take his chances in the marketplace of ideas...

1/ Sometimes it's just not worth trying to explain a tweet to folks, and if you have to explain it, it's like explaining a joke...it didn't land correctly. Fine. So I've taken down the tweet about the asshole kid from Columbia who went on a racist manic rant...

The self-delusion of Right wing trolls is epic. Just had 2 re-block a particularly obtuse 1 who thinks my deciding 2 disengage after several tweets/emails is proof of his superior intellect rather than me getting bored. I have books 2 write my dude, but please, keep shit-tweeting

The president's mania has reached a peak...the "no smocking gun" tweet is proof...he's so out of control he can't even be bothered to spell check before hitting send. Note: the c is nowhere near the k on the keyboard, so he's either illiterate or simply out of control

So which is it MAGAts? Is your hero, a) a grifter & criminal who directed multiple felonies & treasonous acts, or b) does he just surround himself w/ criminal imbeciles bc he's incompetent at picking people 2 work with? There is no c) in this scenario.

excellent...this is what solidarity and the defense of free and open inquiry looks like...https://twitter.com/kpYES/status/1070451981620256773 …

6/ So while folk are talking bout what a great person & POTUS Poppy Bush was, remember, greatness is not relative. Neither is morality. There are degrees of bad. His was of a lower temp (or tighter angle, depending on your preferred image for degrees), but still...

5/ ..like 9/11 & the wars we launched in response to it, which have left the region & world less safe. So although al-Qaeda grew initially from the Mujahadeen which Reagan armed in Afghanistan, it was Bush I, with "Operation Desert Storm" and troops in Saudi that lit the fuse...

4/ ...after all, it was the stationing of troops in Saudi Arabia that most enraged bin Laden and al-Qaeda. That was the spark for them, the linchpin of their hatred for the U.S. And um, yeah so that sorta led to some shit...

3/ ...and a guy who replaced Thurgood Marshall with Clarence Thomas, and the guy who gave us Gulf War I, on bullshit pretense. Putting aside what that war did to Iraqis, on a purely self-interested level, does anyone still believe it made the U.S. anything but LESS safe?...

2/...but this is a guy who orchestrated a drug buy, by having cops entrap a young dealer across from the WH, just to prop up the racist war on drugs...

1/ Look, no need to be cruel or overly shitty about it, but all this #GeorgeHWBush hagiography is nonsense. It is only bc of the current grifter-in-chief that he looks decent by comparison. Yes, he was no doubt a better human being than Trump...
