If police are going to arm themselves to the teeth with military equipment unknown to most world armies...and then refuse to work if it means taking any career or personal risks, it seems like they should lose the right to [complain].

Police Respond To Accountability By Threatening A Slowdown

Exposing the harms of the criminal legal system and elevating solutions that keep all people safe.

Biden is now giving the This Is Not Who We Are speech. In my book, I tried to suggest that Who We Are is a product of how we communicate (and how we communicate is through the internet, and the internet is pretty bad).

Here's the piece again. I hope you read it. It's about Reddit, but it's also about Facebook and Twitter and civic discourse and the marketplace of ideas. Etc.

This is a must-read. A perfect example of how a good media story can also be a technology story and a politics story and an international relations story and an everything story.

It looks like the National Review isn't going to publish my letter, so I'll just have to exercise my inalienable right to free speech and do it here, on Twitter, as the Framers intended.
