Thread: Song-by-song lyric highlights from @TheNational I Am Easy to Find - see also A Meditation on Stringing Words Together: The National's "Roman Holiday" radicalscholarship.wordpress.com/2019/05/21/a-m…
@TheNational The National – You Had Your Soul with You genius.com/The-national-y…

You have no idea how hard I died when you left
If I yield to my trances, will I get up close again?
I had only one thing to do and I couldn't do it yet
I had only one thing left and I couldn't see it yet
The National – Quiet Light genius.com/The-national-q…

I'm just so tired of thinking about everything
I'm not afraid of being alone
I just don't know what to do with my time
The National – Roman Holiday genius.com/The-national-r…

She said, "Please, think the best of him
Please, think the best of me
There are police in the museum
The National – Oblivions genius.com/The-national-o…

Do you think you can carry me over this threshold
Over and over again into oblivion?
The National – The Pull of You genius.com/The-national-t…

I'm either at the bottom of a well or spinning into somebody's outdoor glass furniture
The National – Hey Rosey genius.com/The-national-h…

I'm the rocks they weigh down the angels with
Help me see it won't always be like this...
I will love you like there's razors in it
The National – I Am Easy to Find genius.com/The-national-i…

I'm not going anywhere
Who do I think I'm kidding?
I'm still standing in the same place where you left me standing
The National – Where Is Her Head genius.com/The-national-w…

I think I’m hittin' a wall
I hate loving you as much as I do, I think I'm runnin' away, I
Feel the dark storm you bring, I can't take another day
The National – Not in Kansas genius.com/The-national-n…

I raked the leaves and I started fires
Now I'm reading whatever you give me
It's half your fault so half forgive me
The National – So Far So Fast genius.com/The-national-s…

Lay down in the doorway in front of me
And make yourself impossible for me to leave
The National – Dust Swirls in Strange Light genius.com/The-national-d…

Could she run forever?
The National – Hairpin Turns genius.com/The-national-h…

We're always arguing about the same things
Days of brutalism and hairpin turns
The National – Rylan genius.com/The-national-r…

Is it easy to keep so quiet?
Everybody loves a quiet child
Underwater, you're almost free
If you wanna be alone, come with me
The National – Light Years genius.com/The-national-l…

Oh, the glory of it all was lost on me
'Til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you

Here's a thread for anyone genuinely interested in the New (But Still Misguided) Phonics Assault on Reading driven by dyslexia advocacy 1/x
a) Students with dyslexia who are not properly identified and/or properly served is INEXCUSABLE. Schools/teachers can and must do better 2/x
b) The zeal demonstrated by parents and other advocates for students with dyslexia is both understandable and ***problematic for its over-reach*** 3/x

Since Reagan, Republicans have gradually taken over almost all aspects of government both nationally and in many states. Republicans have CONTROL of government by arguing government is the problem 1/x
With Trump, the final plan is unfolding across the US with attacks on women's rights and relentless dismantling of public services as well as eroding gains made toward more rights and universal healthcare 2/x
In SC - like WV, CO, and Los Angeles - teachers mobilized in surprising numbers to challenge the failures of decades of Republican leadership in the state. HOWEVER, teachers in SC have mostly voted Republican throughout those times, against their own interests 3/x

Pakistan welcomes the re-election of India PM Narendra Modi to a second term. He makes Indian history. In this #thread, I explain why Islamabad is pleased to see #Modi win & how a historic opportunity emerges to resolve #Kashmir, make peace./1
Ahmed Quraishi @AQpk #AhmedQuraishi
During the dogfight over #Kashmir skies in Feb 2019, when a #Pakistan-#India nuclear war became a possibility, unprecedented international diplomatic intervention diffused tensions & averted war. But unlike previous crises, many things changed this time. One: world listened to
#Pakistan this time instead of just listening to #India. The 6-times smaller country was always smothered under the attention that India received globally. This time, #NewDelhi overreached, crossed int'l borders to conduct airstrike inside Pak. Strike failed, pilot captured.

Thread:

The Chinese regime just released a new censorship policy that highlights a deeper tactic—a tactic we also see being used in the West.

Here's my breakdown on it.

Column here: theepochtimes.com/learn-to-spot-…
The most deceptive form of censorship, is the type that wraps itself in a veil of good intentions. This has long been a favorite tool of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and is now being used in the censorship of video games. (1)
China’s Tencent Holdings Limited released a new video game, “Game for Peace,” on May 8, on Weibo. The same day, the CCP removed the popular “Player Unknown Battlegrounds” game from the same app store, which “Game for Peace” closely resembles. (2)

1. With the AEC finally confirming registration of Fraser Anning’s Conservative National Party, here’s a #thread on far-right parties in Australia ahead of the federal election #auspol.
2. First, a definition. The most common (but not only) interpretation of ‘far right’ comes from @CasMudde, who distinguishes the far right on the basis of an ideological core of nativism in what is still my favourite book (pictured) on the far right.
3. Mudde describes nativism as: “An ideology, which holds that states should be inhabited exclusively by members of the native group (‘the nation’) and that non-native elements (persons and ideas) are fundamentally threatening to the homogenous nation-state” (2007: 19).

#THREAD: the #Epstein case vs the #MichaelJackson case: for those talking about "getting away" with "crimes", let's take a look at how (white) privilege really works. And why nobody talks about Epstein, while #MJ is being subjected to another slanderous mockumentary. (1)
For a good comparison, we'll take a look at the timeline of the #Epstein case versus that of the #MJ case. You'll see the differences in approach, treatment and mediatic consequences by yourself. #JusticeforMJ #ExposeTheLiars (2)
miamiherald.com/news/local/art…
As per screenshot 1, the parents of #Epstein's alleged victim, a 14-y.o. girl, reported the alleged crime to the police. In 1993, the first allegations against MJ started with an extortion plan and a search for a "highly profitable settlement". (3) More: themichaeljacksonallegations.com/the-1993-alleg…
