For the law-and-order crowd this July 4th: Buying and transporting illegal fireworks over state lines — which tons of people do! — is a misdemeanor that carries more jail time than unlawfully crossing the border. Yet you’ll wake up tomorrow free and with your families intact.

I read this article twice and I still couldn't find the part that pointed out that immigrants are LESS likely to commit crimes than US-born. Or that families are being separated for far more than a day or two. Signed, an immigrant.https://twitter.com/kenvogel/status/1014522004752535552 …

Worth doing once in your life. Prepare to enjoy your beer served in a plastic bag, and drunk through a straw. https://shanghaimetalcorporation.wordpress.com/2014/09/09/only-in-china-drink-beer-straight-from-a-plastic-bag/ …https://twitter.com/XHNews/status/1014489178724188160 …

Agree. In 1968: -A presidential candidate and a Nobel peace prize winner both assassinated; -Average 300 US troops (and many more Vietnamese) killed per WEEK in VN; -Dozens of cities with outright riots; -US president says he won’t run -George Wallace carries 5 stateshttps://twitter.com/Ibishblog/status/1014343855641124864 …

As mentioned earlier: the more people notice this development, the better.

Instead of penalty shootouts, soccer should decide tied matches by having players writhe on the ground in agony and see who convinces the ref they are truly dying

Exactamento, to what
@sullivanamy says. Reporters are a bedraggled lot. But even the most frayed group of people have points of pride, and for reporters this is the fundamental one.https://twitter.com/sullivanamy/status/1014266351207309312 …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

Main precedent I’m aware of is Jimmy Carter sometimes talking alone with Sadat and Begin at Camp David in 1978. But Carter had encyclopedic knowledge of these issues; zero cloud of suspicions; parallel detailed negotiations by staffs of all 3 countries. Once again, this is new.https://twitter.com/prchovanec/status/1014230927067762690 …

Important + sensible thread (of course, I *would* say that, since it parallels what I’ve argued): -Fear rhetoric (FR) about immig, at period when most Americans calm about it; -FR about crime, while crime going down; -FR about trade, entirely mis-matched to current trade patternshttps://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/1014170782929338368 …

This is significantly bad. (Not story, which is very good, but what it reports.) Parallel: foreign univ or think tank operates in US, and foreign scholar criticizes current US policy. Foreign univ agrees to remove him. Unfortunately, increasingly easy to imagine.https://twitter.com/EmilyZFeng/status/1013594195926405125 …
