      Jeet Heer Retweeted Julia Carrie Wong

      Signing the letter doesn't mean affirming Rick MacArthur's stewardship of Harper's, which I'm on record as saying has been a disaster. The MacArthur family should let go of Harper's & it should be taken over by a better, non-union busting, non-profit.https://twitter.com/juliacarriew/status/1280561619496431616 …

      Replying to @HeerJeet
      this position was not particularly well articulated when you signed the letter of a union buster that incoherently complained about the collective action of rank and file journalists to hold their bosses accountable for decisions that affect both them and their communities

      Replying to @HeerJeet

      i.e., JK Rowling, John McWhorter, David Frum, David Brooks, all people in the public square who wield influence but don't want to be responsible for the damage their casually tossed-off ideas might cause in the larger culture.

      I've dunked on most of those people in the past, and will likely do so again in the future! (And also Rowling). I don't see the letter as saying they should get pushback for their noxious views.

          Absolutely unequivocally yes - there’s a reason I’m pseudonymous.

          Well, I suppose in a way I meant it as a compliment that your name was surprising. but yeah most of that list doesn't feel so much like bastions of liberal thinking that need the protection of.. the readers of Harpers

          having said all that, I did go back and reread the letter. Jeet Heer is my version of "if there be one righteous person left in Gomorrah.."

          That’s just the point. Frum, Iggy and others are upset they get pushback for their noxious, revolting views.

          You're standing arm in arm with them, a useful stooge of what *they're* really saying with this letter, which you personally know is not what you think it says.
