"I was cancelled by the wokesters!" yells racist, Islamophobic, homophobic, transphobic BNP-esque harridan from a self-serving TWO PAGE spread in a major newspaper. If cancel culture were real or reliable, Burchill would have been gone years ago.

Thread↘️
Sadly, some of us are old enough to remember back when Burchill was writing seriously about classism. But that was forever ago. Her more recent history is appalling and shameful. Stop giving her a platform to make excuses ("I was drunk").
And Julie Burchill's "George Floyd joke" (put THOSE words together) was both an attack on Meghan Markle AND a dismissal of the gruesome torture murder of George Floyd. Her assault on Ash Sarkar was actionable. Yet she's still at it. Disgraceful, shameful behavior.
For those who missed Julie Burchill when Meghan and Harry announced the birth of their daughter, this was her gawdawful tweet. For Americans unfamiliar with her, she's a once smart, witty version of Ann Coulter who lost all intellect and wit in service to 24/7 racism. Horrible.

This thread v the comments from three mainstream non-zealot conservative writer/editors. The pushback to CRT posits that we mustn't tell the truth about history because WHITE people will feel bad. But BLACK people have "felt bad" for 400+ years. Righting wrongs is painful.
Slavery was terrible. There is no way around that fact. We're told fictional versions like that Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson were a great love story when she was a woman who was kept in slavery. Jefferson didn't set her free and marry her and move her into his house.
These relentless tales of happy slaves are not the truth. And on the eve of #Juneteenth, Nikole Hannah-Jones was cheated of a position because men like the ones in the QT here made sure of it: Her history threatens their supremacy. Support CRT: It's TRUE history.

When women set boundaries on here to protect themselves, it is the zenith of anti-feminism to assert they are wrong to do so or that it's a moral failing. When that strident anti-intersectionality comes from other women, it's deeply hurtful and damaging.
1/
All our lived experience is different. If a woman tells you something makes her unsafe, instead of lecturing her about why you disagree, respect her boundaries. Never tell another woman that she's being silly or dramatic when that is her experience--not yours.
2/
Women from historically marginalized groups are frequent targets of abuse on here and IRL. Many women even protect their accounts for this reason. Disrespecting others' boundaries is misogynist and something to be resisted. These are not hard things to do--respect others.

Sounds rapey. Yikes.
Hey--remember this?
And actually the massive payout was for "non-consensual sex," or what the rest of us call rape.

Bill O'Reilly settled sex harassment claim for $32 million, report says nbcnews.com/news/us-news/b…
Trump was accused of rape in 2019. The case against him is still pending.

Trump may soon have to answer rape allegations under oath reut.rs/2NMzdK9

This makes me deliriously happy.
The danger Wolf posed daily was evidenced by the people who followed her. The more QAnon she became, the more her follower count grew. Her claims were extreme even by anti-vax standards. She even held "Freedom" meetings "unmasked!" she announced.
In April she declared Biden had cancelled Passover --he hadn't. (I sent her links to seders.) She said stores had stopped selling high heels because no one was allowed out--they hadn't (I sent her links for shoes). It was always some canard meant to upset and/or scare people.
Last month Wolf's big issue was the non-existent #vaccinepassport and how it would be death to our freedom. Yet the State Dept. has required vaccine cards for decades for all kinds of vaccines in order to travel to about 3/4 of the world's countries.

Thread 🧵
Science is, quite literally, an evolutionary process. For those who believe in evolution, knowledge that science is ever-changing and evolving is neither new nor a conspiracy. Thus the release of more than 3k of #FauciEmails under FOIA are not that revelatory .
1/
The fixation on Fauci by the anti-science and anti-vaxxer right--the same folks who a week ago were pinning Stars of David to their lapels that declared "not vaccinated" as they nodded in assent to Marjorie Taylor Greene--are not new.
#FauciEmails
2/
Fauci has been a bete noir for the extremist right for years. But when Fauci's popularity soared above Trump's, the threats began in earnest and Fauci had to hire security for his entire family.

So why is multi-millionaire Manchin, who's been screwing Dems for years, off the hook, while newbie Sinema--the most educated & least wealthy senator & one of only two out LGBTQ--is the sole focal point of MSM & Twitter outrage? They're BOTH wrong, not just her.
I want to know why voting rights are not a matter of incredible urgency for both these Democrats?
Why hasn't Schumer been able to corral them like Pelosi corrals her much more diverse and larger base?
If Sinema comes over, we still need Manchin. What about Mukowski, Collins and Romney? And maybe Cassidy and Sasse? Aren't they all as viable options as Manchin and Sinema at this juncture? Who is working the room? It ain't Schumer. Maybe Klobuchar should be doing that work.
