Crickets.

Jon Kay has typed several tweets today that are aimed to insult me.

But when I ask him to fully recount something he himself brought up—no response so far.

Not the mark of a journalist, that’s certain.

#journalism #Quillette #cdnmedia
Documentation.

I was going to give a play by play analysis of Jon Kay’s twisted first response. But who has the time.

Perhaps I will write a post about how disturbingly often #Quillette editors & writers have responded to criticism by suggesting I have a mental health problem.
A few more relevant things I posted in related threads.

@1Aplus2A These are rather mangled ideas you’ve put together.

1) Right to free assembly protects us from government overreach. It does not limit which public tweets I can and cannot retweet.

2) Of course Anna has the right to block me; I’ve asserted so several times.
@1Aplus2A 3) Yes, I disagree with Anna. On several points. Only a portion of them I have elaborated on here on Twitter. Whether I disagree with someone (& there are many with whom I do) is no indication whatsoever of them being or not being a Nazi-sympathizer.
@1Aplus2A 4) I have not accused Anna of being a Nazi-sympathizer. I take strong issue, however, with her editorial choices regarding Michael Thurlow and I do not think she has sufficiently disavowed those choices.

In this thread, I asked "When has *one* general classification from the research field of biology. . .ever mattered in this way, let alone dictated, how to make laws within human society and its political systems?"

A few more thoughts on that. 1/
Those of you who have followed recent debates on trans rights will know that "it's simple biology!", "biology says so, it's a science!," "nobody can go against their biology!", "it's about sex not gender, and we must listen to biology on that!" are recurring claims. 2/
We have heard some philosophers make these kinds of claims, many pundits make these claims, some social scientists make them, and I've heard at least one biologist (Colin Wright) propound them as well. 3/

"The IHRA includes includes statements like 'denying the Jewish people the right to self-determination,' 'claiming that the existence of Israel is a racist endeavor,' holding Israel to a standard 'not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.'"
"In other words, the IHRA definition explicitly conflates criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism."

Apparently ex-Tory MP Phillip Lee was allowed to join the Lib Dems because his desire to ban migrants with HIV from entering the UK was based solely on health grounds. That was the excuse he gave to @amcarmichaelMP - but it doesn't add up.

THREAD.
When Philip Lee proposed mandatory HIV testing for migrants (so they could be banned from entry) it was against the advice of experts.

Amnesty, National Aids Trust, World Health Organisation and Terrance Higgins Trust all said that doing so would be bad for public health.
Here's a couple of links which all make the same point. Mandatory testing is discriminatory, creates stigma, is hit and miss and prevents people from accessing health services, actively increasing the public health risk:

I'll be following the House Judiciary Committee hearing that examines the increase in white nationalist crimes and domestic terrorism. 👇
.@RepDougCollins started it off by throwing shade to @IlhanMN (without mentioning her name) and equated her "anti-Semitism" to that of violent white nationalists
"White supremacy has experienced a resurgence in the last 3 years.... a clear corollary to the rise in polarizing and hateful rhetoric on the part of candidates and elected leaders. This is a particularly dangerous problem." - Eileen Hershenov of the @ADL

We decided to take a closer look at the #YangGang hashtag in light of its prominent appearance in this earlier analysis (most frequently used hashtag by accounts that retweet @AndrewYang.)

cc: @ZellaQuixote
We downloaded tweets containing #YangGang, removing tweets unrelated to Andrew Yang's campaign from the early data. We ended up with 28863 original tweets from 9146 accounts; the first on-topic use appears to be on March 20, 2018.
Something potentially interesting turns up when looking at the creation dates of the accounts - 1038 of 9146 (11.3%) were created within the last three months. Those accounts tweeted 5897 of 28863 #YangGang tweets (20.4%).
