    Bret Stephens new column: the biggest threat America faces is not Trump, but cancel culture. So re-upping this thread, with receipts, that shows that Stephens is an absolute on this issue, as he serially tries to get his critics fired. 1/https://twitter.com/donmoyn/status/1268982440644751362 …

    Incredible thread: When Bret Stephens contacted university administrators to try to get a professor who mocked him on twitter in trouble, he was merely doing what he routinely does in the Times. This is a Pulitzer Prize winner who uses his power to disempower others. https://twitter.com/WajahatAli/status/1268973742811684864 …

        But worse than Stephens claim that leftists are out of control is his dismissal of Trump as so incompetent that we don't have to worry about our freedoms anymore. This is deeply, deeply misguided and irresponsible. 2/pic.twitter.com/Xl0U2Mo0uf

        Stephens uses a couple of examples to illustrate Trump's weakness. Lets take one: Trump wants to stop DACA, "but John Roberts won't let him." Roberts rejected DACA on narrow procedural grounds - Trump can if & re-elected probably will reissue a DACA ban that satisfies SCOTUS. 3/

        This is going to be an incomplete list, but Trump has: violated international law to pervert our immigration process in a way that guarantees people seeking refugee status face violence and death. 4/https://twitter.com/donmoyn/status/1263591275871125504?s=20 …

        It is very hard to listen to this Pulitzer award winning @ThisAmerLife show and not conclude that Trump policies have turned US federal employees into a cog in a machine that delivers migrants to cartels that will kidnap, assault and kill them. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/704/our-pulitzer-winning-episode …

        Trump officials have in key areas just stopped co-operating with Congress, defying the basic structure of US accountability based on a theory that, as near as I can tell, gives the President the power of being a king. 5/https://prospect.org/power/40-year-war-bill-barr-oversight/ …

        Trump fires inspectors general if they report evidence of corruption in his government, and has systematically targeted career officials and political appointees who testified to Congress during the impeachment. Isn't this cancel culture? 6/ https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3607309 …pic.twitter.com/NIvSU0xHsc

        Even if we just stick narrowly to Stephen's concern here - facing punishment for your views - Trump has sent the FBI after people for having the temerity to organize peaceful protests. 7/https://theintercept.com/2020/06/12/fbi-jttf-protests-activists-cookeville-tennessee/ …

        I could go on, but if you are not convinced at this point, you just don't want to be. Stephens does not want to be. His notion of speech is that people who hold views like him should not face criticism, and those that criticize him should be punished. 8/https://twitter.com/WajahatAli/status/1268975953771929600?s=20 …

        A writer who recently joined told me during the orientation and social media overview there was a carve out dedicated to Bret Stephens. I'm saying this because so many people want to but were afraid to go on record. I've never met the man and have nothing again him personally. 4/

        Don Moynihan Retweeted dave karpf

        As @davekarpf points out in this excellent thread, Stephens not just excludes speech he dislikes, he instead presents it as an existential threat. There is no deeper principle here than "My speech is good, your speech is cancel culture." 9/https://twitter.com/davekarpf/status/1279438242086039556?s=20 …

        FedEx telling Dan Snyder to change the damn name IS speech. People pressuring FedEx to tell Snyder this are engaging in speech as well. Protest actions are acts of speech, even if those protest actions are aimed at people who Bret Stephens identifies with. (5/x)

        How do we understand this? As propaganda. It's not a coincidence that Stephens column and Trump's Rushmore speech from last night are interchangeable in many ways. There is an election to win, pandemics to be ignored, and people to terrify. 10/https://twitter.com/biblioracle/status/1279381761231912962?s=20 …

        I'm sure Orwell would have had something to say about using propaganda to ramp up a culture war to protect an unpopular regime in the midst of a massive state failure in protecting human life. I just think it would be very different from what Stephens is saying. 11/pic.twitter.com/6NRjifXrFn
