You should really read the entire thread.

My point wasn't that Flake's speech was so monumental it was hard to describe; it was that Flake's speech was a meaningless gesture that revealed his cowardice, not his convictions.
I mean, that conclusion seems clear to everyone else, right?
As long as we're revisiting this, I turned this thread into a fuller article for the Washington Post:

It's like the end of "Mary Poppins" when she realizes the Banks no longer need her and can take care of themselves. I'm getting a little choked up.
Oof.
(Nixon voice) Good God.

Notre Dame is struggling so much the coaches are just calling up random Catholics to sub in now.

Anyway, watch for me to suit up as an outside linebacker in the fourth quarter.
All right, all right, be patient. I'm almost in.

Coach says we're going to turn this around.
Apologies for my cursing that was just picked up by the network microphones.

Things are getting a little heated out here.

#Thread: Rough translation on Rajini's recent statement on RMM activities.

I'd like to clarify the false rumors stating RMM works are happening without my permission. All activities regarding RMM are happening with my knowledge & permission.

#RajinikanthPoliticalRevolution
Already by last year May month, I said that "I won't allow people near me who have thoughts of getting posts & earning money when I enter politics. So, those people stay away right now."

#RajinikanthPoliticalRevolution #Thread #Rajinikanth
Didn't say it for word-sake. We are entering politics to bring out a new political culture for a good political change. If we've to do politics like others, why should we enter politics?

[thread]

hi friends, i want to take a moment to discuss something i consider serious and important within this community - cancel culture.

i urge you to read the entire thread before reacting and replying, and then i’ll be happy to have a conversation with you.
to start off - a disclaimer:

there are scenarios that have recently happened that sparked my desire to make this thread. but this thread is not related to any of those and is not my response to any recent scenarios.

these are strictly my thoughts on cancel culture as a whole.
so first, what is cancel culture?

cancel culture is essentially the behavior/mentality that whenever a member of this community, reviewers and authors alike, does anything wrong, they deserve to be blackballed, cancelled, and kicked out of the community.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

If you've ever wondered what you would do if you lived in Nazi Germany, NOW is the time to stand for justice.

📞Your MoC now. Demand oversight.

Then join a family separation protest near you, later today:
familiesbelong.org
I don't make the comparison to Nazi Germany lightly. I'm a #CivilRights lawyer, I have a Master's in IR w a focus on history, I attended FSU Holocaust institute.

Starts w dehumanizing words: "immigrants are animals" or immigrant children "aren't innocent"
gq.com/story/trump-on…
Then there's deification and memorialization of the man saying those dehumanizing words. He can do no wrong, cannot be questioned.

THREAD: What does the Sessions letter about considering the appointment of a special counsel mean? Should the public be concerned that he will do so?
1/ In the tweet linked above, @PaulaReidCBS posted a letter from Attorney General Sessions regarding the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and other matters.
2/ There is already a good analysis of the letter by @benjaminwittes in this thread, which is worth reading. He reads the letter as a signal that Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein will not appoint a special counsel:
