@sanditoksvig rant about "like" and other language quirks was cringey and embarrassing. I've come to expect much more from Sandi over the years. She says young women drive language change and then repeats ignorant criticisms with misogynistic roots. 1/2 #qi

2/2 linguistics is about studying how people talk, not prescribing how they should talk. Most of these criticisms are rooted in classism, racism, or sexism. I hope you've learned why what you said is wrong. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0yL2G… Geoff Lindsey can explain better than I can

I should clarify; Slife wants to force property owners to install surveillance cameras that are then streamed to Cleveland police. Is there any wonder we have a problem with constitutional policing? teapawt.net/bishop_chui/status/133…
Councilman Slife wants to turn the city into a panopticon and the other council members have ideas on crime/criminals, policing and violence that are so antiquated it's as if they've been living in a cave

5,700+ incarcerated people have tested positive for COVID-19 in CA. How many more were refused testing to reduce these numbers? How many more will face #DeathbyIncarceration during this pandemic before you begin mass releases? @CACorrections @GavinNewsom #StopSanQuentinOutbreak

People assume they would’ve been in favor of slave abolition but struggle to support the abolition of its modern equivalents.

Cleveland police made a tactical error by pushing protesters away from the Justice Center and toward surrounding businesses. The outcome was predictable and preventable
these are locally owned small businesses that isn’t the point of the movement please

It's wild that downtown residents are walking around with their privilege like everything's normal while anyone who can't convince a cop to let them pass is handcuffed #clevelandprotests #georgefloyd

It's deeply upsetting to me that two people who I have admired for years @AGoldmund and @PJVogt would name their new horror review show the same thing as a much smaller, but well-established horror review show. I adore Reply All, it is the podcast that got me into podcasts but

Scaredy cats is just one guy. @ThoughtSlime is a razor sharp, insightful, compassionate person and it's actually kind of evil for @PJVogt and @AGoldmund to be so cavalier about damaging his livelihood with the weight of Gimlet Media behind them.

I know I don't have many followers and these tweets are probably going into the void to be read by no one, but I hope @ThoughtSlime finds even a little comfort in knowing some @replyall fans are mortified and ashamed at this behavior.
Are there confirmed or suspected cases of Covid-19 in any DYS facilities or among their staff? What is the plan for keeping incarcerated children safe? @GovMikeDeWine @MikeDeWine @NickCastele @andychow @JMBorchardt
What is @GovMikeDeWine doing to ensure that COVID-19 won't spread through Ohio's jails, prisons, and youth detention facilities? @joingles @AndrewTobias @RandyLudlow
I don't know who needs to hear this, but nobody likes their insurance company. They don't have brand loyalty, like Ford or Chevy. You might think you like your insurance company, but what you like is access to your doctor at a rate you can afford. 1/5

The idea that people like their insurance is ridiculous. People like access to the doctor, period. And everyone should have equal access to healthcare. A public/private option creates a dystopia where rich people pay for better care and poor people get worse. 4/5

In summation: Everyone deserves equal access to high quality healthcare and nobody actually likes their HMO. This shouldn't be the extremist position. 5/5 #MedicalCareForAll
