The tactics of @realDonaldTrump are spreading across the Country.
People accused of sexual harassment now sue their accusers for defamation.
Judges need to start imposing sanctions in these cases.

@realDonaldTrump This guy was suspended with pay by SDSU then quietly disappeared from the faculty a while later. No word of an investigation into the allegations. In many cases this means a negotiated resignation and a buy out by the university (at taxpayer expense). But who knows. Hush ....
@realDonaldTrump Of course if these people lied they should be sued.
But if they lied, why did he resign from his position?
Who knows ....

Whether or not we agree with her on all the issues, @ewarren is the best debater. Unmatched intellect and articulate.
@PeteButtigieg @JoeBiden @BernieSanders also impressive, round out the Final Four.
Tom Steyer should spend his $ supporting whoever wins.

@ewarren @PeteButtigieg @JoeBiden @BernieSanders I'm sick of the Indian jokes about @ewarren. Nobody gives me grief because I have a few ancestors who came over on the Mayflower and I belong to the Mayflower Descendants. She has some ancestors who were here even earlier and is also proud of her ancestry. Big deal.
@ewarren @PeteButtigieg @JoeBiden @BernieSanders The chance she got the Harvard job because she had Native American ancestors are even lower than the chance I got into Harvard because of ancestors on the Mayflower.
Indeed, Harvard is the only school with a mascot (a goofy looking Puritan) that mimics my ancestors not hers.

With William Barr, Opus Dei comes to Washington.
The danger is clear. Will we heed the message?

"Last October, Attorney General William Barr appeared at Notre Dame Law School to make a case for ideological warfare."

newyorker.com/magazine/2020/…
"Before an assembly of students and faculty, Barr claimed that the “organized destruction” of religion was under way in the United States."
“Secularists, and their allies among the ‘progressives,’ have marshalled all the force of mass communications, popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia in an unremitting assault on religion and traditional values,” he said."

With the tax-payer-subsidized U.S. Bank stadium finished, Minneapolis wants another big spending project. This one has some affordable housing, but how much money- that could be spent on schools- is subsidizing fancy amenities for the upper middle class?

Outdoor performance space in Minneapolis.
Very useful this time of year.
A skating rink would be cheaper and more cost effective.
Trump's Interior Department is apparently pushing this concept. Many African American community members feel shut out of the process.

@realDonaldTrump A lynching? How dare Trump compare the impeachment inquiry to a lynching when he falsely accused the Central Park 5 of rape and paid the New York Times to publicly call for their brutal executions. That would’ve been a lynching, but I guess they just spent years in jail instead.
@realDonaldTrump Emmett Till was a 14-year-old boy boy who was falsely accused of sexual harassment by a white woman in Mississippi and then brutally lynched. That’s what a lynching looks like without due process. His mother held an open casket funeral to show the world what American racism is.
@realDonaldTrump Because of Emmett Till and that photo, Rosa Parks was so heartbroken and indignant that she refused to give up her seat on the bus, playing a pivotal role in the Montgomery bus boycott. That’s the effect a lynching has on a suffering people who have been lynched for generations.

From my research I am finding the Jeffrey Epstein case leads to a child sex trafficking ring run between the U.S., UK, Israel, & Saudi Arabia.

Thread about airplane creeps: I’m on a plane from a late-evening stopover from and was very tired and had a row to myself to sleep but couldn’t avoid noticing what was going on in the row behind me.
A man appearing in his late thirties was obviously delighted to be seated next to a teenager separated from the rest of her family. He started off by asking about her career plans and laughed when she said she wanted to be CEO and kept giving her ridiculous advice.
She was friendly and he seemed to take that as a welcome cue to get very familiar and started teasing her and kept saying that he wanted to take her out to eat, which she was ignoring. At this point I had to stay awake in case anything went further than that.

A report by @Beaking_News on @R4today explored possible EU #sanctions on #Myanmar's garment exports, in response to the #Rohingya atrocities. Here's a thread on why I think sanctions would be misguided.

/1
CC @ecfr @eucopresident @FedericaMog
As I argued in my 2015 @OUPpolitics book, Societies Under Siege, where Myanmar was a case study, it's crucial to consider HOW sanctions are supposed to achieve one's desired goals. HOW exactly will economic pain translate into political gain?
global.oup.com/academic/produ…

This is rarely, if ever, done. Policymakers typically just impose sanctions in the vague hope that "pressuring the regime" will magically translate into the outcomes they seek. Usually they don't: sanctions fail 2/3 of the time. Myanmar was no different.

To all who have been circulating the letter written to the media that exposes the experienced systemic culture of #sexual harassment in @BFMradio, you need to stop and check the impact of your actions

(thread)
@BFMradio :: The letter is addressed to members of the media. Not to members of the public. Regardless of good intention, fwding the letter to those other than intended reader is to violate the writer’s agency. If you want to help, don't start by disregarding what the writer intends.
@BFMradio The writer is already aware of the high cost s/he may face for disclosing this. Exposing wrongful power practices - and sexual harassment is a form of wrongful practice of power - is always risky.

Been thinking a lot about the men saying they aren’t going to have private meetings with women anymore because they’re afraid of being falsely accused of sexual harassment.
There’s a lot to unpack there. Let’s start with simple logistics: all women? How about non-binary folks & other gender minorities? What about women they aren’t attracted to, and/or who aren’t attracted to them? What about women who could help them?
What about gay men? What about men they suspect are gay? What if they themselves are gay or bi or pansexual?
