Note when asked about "systematic and institutional racism" Trump doesn't deny: “Well, I think there is everywhere,” But he doesn't buy Woodward's white "cave" guilt-framing. Is that a bad answer? https://t.co/oujw4v7llU

"Mercedes-Benz, a German company, and Volvo, a Swedish company, both opened plants in South Carolina in 2018, but the projects broke ground in 2015, before Trump was elected. So that doesn’t count." It doesn't? For one thing, plants can be abandoned/downsized after groundbreaking https://t.co/07XeExzxZV

New York Times' emails go to the regular inbox. New Yorker's emails go to the regular inbox. Buzzfeed and Breitbart go to the regular inbox. But citizen newsletters get sent to "promotions" along with Crate & Barrel ads.

NOTE: Google hates newsletters and G-mail often sends them to the "promotions" folder. You can move it to your primary folder and check off "Do this always." Might work. Would be better if @SubstackInc –now that it's big — pressed @google to change. https://t.co/Z8oZeQFcK8

At least the Amish have a solution to the effects of tech on, eg, the devaluation of unskilled labor. A little strict. But I expect the adherents of this approach to grow in number … https://t.co/xUl12emvGk

The Atlantic story may have served an important pro-Biden function even if voters don't care about it: It pushed the protests/riots down in the news (if not off the front page). https://t.co/mAtndYM8uO

THINKING INSIDE THE BLOB: Tonelson on McFaul v. York. https://t.co/9T5mqpKiS4 Me: Of course McFaul wasn't advocating a coup. But he suggests (even in the modified version) that the President must please the Intelligence Community. Can't the IC be wrong?
