I’ve been following the drama around NPR CEO Katherine Maher, and, while lots of conservatives are dunking on her tweets and statements, I don’t see a lot of liberals circling the wagons around her. But a lot of them were just like her between 2017 and 2020.
If Maher is forced to step down over her “in this house” tweet history, a lot of other people who advanced their careers a few years ago by being performatively woke could also be in trouble. I guess their plan is to just delete their old tweets and try to keep their heads down.
These people went completely fucking insane. They destroyed the lives and businesses of a lot of people who didn’t deserve it. And now they’re going to try to pretend that none of it ever happened.
Katherine Maher espoused exactly the opinions that were expected of her to be promoted as a white female nonprofit executive in the 2010s. She is not an unusual figure. There are people like her in c-suite positions in every company right now.

During the George Floyd “race reckoning,” US cities implemented “police reforms” that scaled back traffic enforcement, which progressives believed had a racially disproportionate impact and caused dangerous encounters between black people and cops.

This killed 20,000 Americans. Image
The open border policy of Joe Biden, which let in millions of unvetted migrants from Central America, also contributed to skyrocketing traffic deaths over the last five years.

These people are on our roads driving on fake licenses, and without auto insurance.

Democrat-governed cities have sanctuary politics that bar police from checking the immigration status of drivers involved in accidents, even fatal ones.
The increase in traffic fatalities over the last five years is especially shocking because new cars have revolutionary new safety features that prevent accidents and make accidents less likely to cause fatalities.

But policy is killing people faster than tech is saving them.

A lot of people don’t seem to understand that “international law” is mostly just vibes.

People seem to think the UN is the international government and it makes laws that bind countries, and the ICC and the ICJ are global supreme courts.

This is obviously false.🧵 Image
Nations are sovereign and nothing is sovereign over them. Especially powerful nations. Think about it for a minute:

Do you think the United States would ever allow its will to be superseded by the votes of 30 developing world states? Of course not.
The UN, the ICC and the ICJ have no armies. They have no enforcement mechanisms. The only time the UN is not toothless is if powerful member states — specifically the US — commit military resources to enforcing its edicts, and those states only provide force to the UN if doing so is in line with their own policy goals.

A common claim by progressives is that “immigrants” commit less crime than “native-born Americans.”

This is a nominally true statement that carries with it a number of caveats that render it totally misleading.

Let’s break this down. 🧵: Image
First of all, 28% of foreign-born residents are from Asia, while 12% are from Canada or Europe.

Statistics about “immigrant” crime do not disaggregate these immigrants from the Central American migrants people are actually talking about the migrant crime wave. Image
Disaggregating crime stats by race actually reveals that, for example, the homicide rate among Hispanics (citizen and noncitizen) is twice the homicide rate among whites.

Of course, the rate of homicide among Hispanics is only a fifth of the homicide rate among blacks, who contribute an outsized share of the crime by “native born Americans.”Image

The terrorists kidnapped babies from their beds and dragged them into holes in the ground and strangled them, while their advocates and supporters in the West lied and spun for them. “Of course they wouldn’t do that; that’s not what what our resistance is about!” But they did.
All my life, all that was spoken about in Jewish communal organizations was peace, and understanding and figuring out how to live together.

Since Oct. 7, 2023, that’s gone. Our entire worldview was upended when we were forced to reckon with the reality of what you are.
Throughout the war, as the Palestinians suffered defeat after defeat and their leaders were eliminated one by one, they took comfort in TikTok — they were winning the propaganda war! Israel was becoming a pariah state.

Then America elected Trump, who will openly say that Gaza would be so much nicer if it weren’t full of “Palestinians.”

Today, Biden commuted the sentences of 37 murderers, in defiance of the will of the people, who rejected his party and its pro-crime agenda.

His party should be associated forever with the most vile and depraved criminals, who it cares about more than us.

These are Joe’s 37 🧵: Image
First up is Shane Agofsky. He got life in prison for abducting, torturing and murdering a bank president as part of a robbery scheme. He was sentenced to death after he killed again, murdering another inmate in federal prison:

Billie Jerome Allen thought it would be a good idea to rob a bank after he watched “Heat,” and murdered a security guard with an SKS assault rifle. law.justia.com/cases/federal/…

You should be outraged that a “Top 50” list of dangerous homeless people exists. Every person on that list has been arrested dozens of times. Every one of them has attacked strangers. And the city leaves them on the street for you to deal with instead of locking them up. Image
Neely was on that list because he beat a 67 year old woman — a complete stranger he attacked for no reason — and broke several bones in her face.

They didn’t want to put him in jail, so they sent him to a residential treatment center. He walked out after two weeks. Image
The city knows who all these people are. They’ve been arrested over and over, for serious offenses, and they keep turning them loose. Officials know they are dangerous. And they won’t put them in jail; they let them ride the train with you and your kids.
