Sarah Palin’s libel case against New York Times opens in Manhattan courtroom, a culture clash with lasting legal potential washingtonpost.com/media/2022/02/…
“Reckless disregard” NYT v. Sullivan (1964) was the second part of “actual malice” and is why @nytimes will lose and @SarahPalinUSA will win.
Issue is targets on congressional districts, Not representatives or people.

@nytopinion not bothering to check the Times’ own supposedly factual reporting re the exact factual issue is clearly “reckless disregard as to whether it was false or not.” Sullivan (1964)
I am reasonably confident that many people have taken positions on such topics without reviewing the materials, which is why I think curriculum transparency can actually be helpful to address any misconceptions on the part of the public.

@LuisMorenolg@WendellAlbright@pigjowls CRT has become a shorthand for considering new perspectives on racial and other issues in our country, both now and in the study of our history.
I have found that effective training does make me uncomfortable, but the introspection is valuable.

@Dina_Albayati@itsapurdy Unfortunately , what is even more difficult and frustrating is the knowledge - now confirmed - that a significant proportion (40%, as I understand) of the random people we flew out of Kabul last August were not our Afghan Allies - SIV, P1, P2 - but corrupt Kabul elites.

@Dina_Albayati@itsapurdy They shoved our Afghan Allies aside and bullied and bribed their way into the airport in front of more deserving people, who don’t need the Afghan Adjustment Act because Americans, through Congress, already decided long ago to welcome them.

@Dina_Albayati@itsapurdy I find it very difficult to advocate for the Afghan Adjustment Act (AAA) for this very reason.
Furthermore, I recall concerns re criminal patronage networks (search Afghanistan Corruption in Conflict for @SIGARHQ reports) and wonder whether anyone cares any more.

@Maria_Hinojosa@NewYorker@JonathanBlitzer I think one key issue is the fact that the same people who want America and Americans to welcome unlimited numbers of undocumented foreign citizens, abandoning their BIPOC-led sovereign independent home countries . . .
1/
@Maria_Hinojosa@NewYorker@JonathanBlitzer . . . and hiring international criminal human trafficking organizations to guide them to our southwest border to make questionable asylum claims, then to live, at best, semi-documented, in what they constantly insist is a horribly and unredeemably racist country . . .
2/
@Maria_Hinojosa@NewYorker@JonathanBlitzer . . . . and at the same time constantly complaining about @fightfor15 and #AffordableHousing, when an ample supply of relatively unskilled labor competes with US-based including American workers who now have leverage to negotiate and get a union.

Well, we know that in Cuyahoga County [ Cleveland ], there was a significant Presidential undervote; people filled out their ballots with their selections, but left President blank.
