Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    I don't agree with this thread but think it's worth a read. But the answer everyone seems to miss is that we need critical thinking skills, which are atrophying on the left, center, and right.https://twitter.com/zeebap2/status/939406745876627457 …

        I’ve often wondered how you maintain such a critical eye. Maybe you could do a webinar series.

        Well, trying to id your process/methods would be helpful. There’s so much noise, it’s hard to wade through it. I have this idea that you’re very methodological about how you think through things....though you’ve also said you have a great memory.

        I don't say I have a good memory--others do. I do remember stuff I've written though, and I've written ... a lot.

        Well, I dunno. It may be worth kind of thinking through how you do things and then working with someone to do some lessons. So many of us work from emotion and that is definitely not helpful

        Here's the thing about the "foreign interference" narrative that bugs me: it seems undeniable that Russian state elements (and quasi-state elements like "patriotic hackers") interfered in the 2016 election

        Media literacy skills as well. As a teacher I’ve been hammering this for years. So many citizens are unequipped to navigate the complex media landscape and right wing outlets exploit their ignorance.

        Currently high school. Looking to work outside the classroom in this field too. I want to be involved with this issue on a larger scale. I think it’s an indispensable part of the conversation.

        Argh. Dems emulating the right is not a successful strategy. Neither is hammering on fake accusations while failing to attack Trump's very real attacks on our national integrity. Critical thinking involves engagement with reality, too.

        The amount of accounts tagged in that tweet alone is enough to put me off reading it.
