I really need Democratic lawmakers to understand that we're fed up with them simply posting on social media "this has to stop" without calling for specific actions to make it stop.
We know this needs to stop. We elected you. Tell us what needs to be done to make it stop.

The paradox of the current moment is that while none of this is normal, it is also not extraordinary. It is the country in which we live, and we are not going back to a previous era. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-c...

Not everybody needs to be a strawberry. There’s room for cranberries in this world too. You can be weird and sour and only tolerated by people around the holidays because they grew up with you. I know you can. You can be fun when mixed with enough vodka. I believe in you. You can live in a bog.

Please know that if your institution did this, it's a racist institution. Sure, many good people still work there and do good work there. But the school as a whole functions as a white supremacist institution. Proceed accordingly.
This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

I guess one thing this year has shown is that when you appoint social media trolls to senior government positions because of their social media trolling you are inevitably going to end up with senior government officials trolling social media.

Nuzzi may be a joke or punchline , but she got into position by being constantly excused for being an abusive manipulative ass.
