Joining @chrislhayes tonight: @Olivianuzzi @espiers Rep. @RobertGarcia @deray @AvishayBSG @brhodes #inners
It’s appropriate, @espiers says, that Trump’s first criminal trial is “on his old home turf. New York City residents have been subjected to his venality and corruption for much longer than the rest of the country, and we’re familiar with his antics.” Read: nyti.ms/4cTVSvj
The rest of the country is seeing a side of Mr. Trump that New York City residents have always been familiar with: the guy who’s angry that he hasn’t been accepted in the elite circles he admires and is outraged that others have. nytimes.com/2024/04/17/opi… Brilliant @espiers piece
In The Times, however, @espiers gets it right: "If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere, the song goes, but Mr. Trump couldn’t make it here — at least not the way he craved — despite being born here and being one of the few people who could afford it."…

I get this kinda spam all the time but never got it on twitter pre Elon. Now unsolicited messages are the worst of Linkedin. Just lots of garbage.
I agree with this assessment, and was also once accused by a guy who didn’t know me of doing this when I was pregnant and literally looking for the bathroom for good reason

I hear the new Trump Bible comes with not just one, but two Corinthians!
It’s convenient, writes @espiers, for “people to believe that if it had been their child, they’d have prevented this tragedy. But prison visiting rooms are full of good, diligent parents who never thought their kid would be capable of landing there.” Read: nyti.ms/3xlhlN2
"It’s a perverse state of affairs: Exposing children to simple facts is dangerous, but exposing them to machines designed to kill is not." - @espiers Toxic Gun Culture Begins at Home nytimes.com/2024/03/26/opi…
This is Sylvia Gonzalez. At age 72, she won an upset victory for city council after campaigning to oust the city manager. The mayor didn't like that. So he had her arrested & jailed. The Supreme Court is about to hear her case, which has largely gone unnoticed. A thread.
I'll take this one. The idea that affirmative action or diversity, equity & inclusion policies equal lower standards is something that a lot of people believe. Instead of citing what "I believe" like Elon did, let's use facts & a something I like to called "math" A thread.

Naomi Wolf taking on biblical translations after a crash-course in Ancient Greek is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
Hi all -- so. I skipped ahead to the New Testament, with a Koine Greek - English side-by-side literal translation, and what am I to do -- so much of the NT has been mistranslated, or, shall I say, creatively translated, in addition to the OT having often been mistranslated. Is it…
When @jenancona and I first got involved 20 years ago, we had this overwhelming sense that the story conservatives were telling about freedom was a complete sham. Took us a bit. But it’s amazing to be getting to work on turning this narrative around.
@jenancona: "If [abortion] was the only thing, it would feel different than if you are able to tick off all these others that they are doing...Abortion is an entry point: because it is so visceral for people, it is a way to connect to a larger story about rights and freedoms."
Thanks to everyone who read my piece about #NPR, and found it helpful. I wanted to share a few thoughts about what's harmful about the false "wokeness" narrative about the place. slate.com/business/2024/… via @Slate
You knew the martyrdom was coming. He broke NPR protocol all employees have to adhere to, and repeatedly disparaged his colleagues in an error-filled essay. But he's the real victim. I'm sure Bari Weiss or someone like her will welcome him with open arms.
My resignation letter to NPR CEO @krmaher
pretty sure nope
Will @nprnews now suspend @davidfolkenflik for reporting on the NPR bias scandal that got his colleague suspended? Asking for a friend. Maybe we can suspend anyone who asks questions or gives conservatives a fair shake. Some little totalitarians at NPR @CPRNews @heidiganahl
Naomi Wolf has evolved into her final form, a seminarian with six weeks of Greek who thinks the entire New Testament has been translated wrong.

Tonight I did a book event with a dear friend who is a man and without fail someone asked him how he felt doing a book event with an anti marriage woman and I just want you all to know no one has ever asked him how women feel about his writing
