He may have other life skills, but I think it's clear @marcorubio isn't doing a very good job as a twitter reporter

Subtweet - you can say things that are true even if Maduro says them too, just like in 2003 you were not aiding and abetting Saddam if you said he didn't have weapons of mass destruction, and civil rights leaders were not repeating Soviet propaganda by saying the US was racist
I get that things surrounding Venezuela are very emotional, but I've seen otherwise sober commentators say you basically shouldn't say anything that Maduro also says, or you'll unintentionally help him. But no. It's exactly when things are very bad we need to be most thoughtful.
I mean it sounds stupid to say but it should be bad to say untrue things, whether or not Maduro also says them, and important to be able to say what you think is true or important no matter who else says it

Now in Brazil - the world's first ever government run by youtube commenters
It's an important experiment for the world, let's see how it works out
For those that don't speak Portuguese - Brazil's Ministry of Education released a long, ALL CAPS statement that starts saying a journalist was wrong about changes to their website and then veers far right into a strange discussion of the KGB and Marxist-Leninist training programs

The US-backed Guatemalan military killed over 200,000 people, mostly unarmed civilians. Entire ethnicities were marked for extermination. I visited these communities, still decimated, last month and their stories shook me to my core. Abrams will now handle Venezuela for Trump.

I'm finally set up to livetweet Day 13 of #HarvardTrial. Harvard's expert, the @UCBerkeley labor economist David Card, is on the stand, attempting to firm up his finding that there is no statistical evidence of discrimination against Asian-Americans.
Another economist, Susan @Dynarski, who has contributed to a brief in support of Harvard and looked closely at this case, has said that Card is the exact last expert she'd want to to go up against — see below:
Card is looking over a chart of some of @Fair_Admissions's models, in which Asian-Americans see measurably higher academic and extracurricular ratings in Harvard admissions officers, but lower personal ratings. He calls it a "strange kind of schizophrenia."

This bullshit politically charged and biased to all hell report about right-wing YouTubers is a thing you can read datasociety.net/output/alterna…
Complete with a creepy as fuck map
The agenda of "Alternative Influence Broadcasting the Reactionary Right on YouTube" author, Rebecca Lewis, is to kickstart a new media blitz for deplatforming right-wing YouTubers under the ominous "EXTREMISM" brush.

Keep the author's intentions in mind as you read the report.

Gather round, friends as we settle into Day Two of Kavanaugh confirmation hearings!

Senators are milling about judiciary and things should be starting soon
Grassley gavels the room to order and wishes everyone a good morning.

Reminder: no good mornings for Grassley
Grassley says Democratic Senators interrupted proceedings 63 times and protesters were escorted out about 70 times.

Protesters start speaking over Grassley now. Sounds like a disability rights activist

"Gabriel's heart drops as he searches blindly through the smoke, eyes stinging, his pulse thrashing behind his ears manic in the dead stillness. He throws off his gloves to feel through the rubble with his hands, numb to steel and concrete scraping his skin.
He has to find Jack.
He stubs his toe and stumbles, setting off a fire of irrational rage in his belly as he continues to fumble around. Fuck, he doesn't have /time/ for falling on his face, he has to find-
'Jack!' His voice comes out as a croak, the relief in his tone scarred from the fight.
Sure enough, that blond head of hair, dusty with chalky particles, turns. Gabriel will make fun of him for it later, but goddamn, if those bright sunshine locks weren't some kind of heaven-sent lighthouse.
'Gabe,' Jack rasps.
