  1. Remember when the same writer who coined #TheCrueltyIsThePoint wrote about "the coming violence" after writing about the Second Redemption in The Atlantic, the week after the November 2016 election.

    Yeah, #AdamSerwer wasn't wrong.

  2. People think "give poor people money" is an absurd solution to poverty but for some reason think "give rich people money" works better, despite the notion being absurd and decades of evidence to the contrary.

  4. “Kimmel’s refusal to capitulate stands out because so many other well-situated people—those with the resources, platform, and #power to stand up to the president, including, initially, the leaders of ABC—have surrendered, withdrawn, or become Trump sycophants themselves.”

    #AdamSerwer in @TheAtlantic is on🔥 as usual

  8. Committed Trumpists are happy to warp reality to fit whatever distortions their leader demands.

    Yet distinct from the #Trump sycophants are the Trump enablers, both witting and unwitting, more serious figures who eschew such crude gestures of devotion in favor of cautious minimizations that obfuscate the truth rather than openly contradict it. There are all too many serious writers willing to oblige, intelligent people making clever arguments that amount to sophistry.

  9. I doubt a week has gone by in the last 5 years that I haven’t heard someone use #Adamserwer’s brilliant 2018 statement that “Cruelty is the point.” Not many in history have ever gotten that kind of traction for the words they write. He deserves all the recognition he’s earned.

  10. @BruceMirken. The competition is fierce but we may have a winner. As #AdamSerwer wrote, "the cruelty is the point."

  11. "Thomas’s hostility to disclosure laws and free-speech precedents paints a vivid picture of American #democracy as he believes it should exist: a system small enough to be bought by a tight circle of anonymous oligarchs, and big enough to silence anyone who might criticize them." -#AdamSerwer / #TheAtlantic

  12. "#ClarenceThomas has publicly stated his failure to comply with the law by disclosing his financial entanglements with #HarlanCrow are unintended errors, but if so, it's a mistake remarkably consistent with his ideological position that people who use their money and influence to steer the #American #political system ought to be able to do so in complete secrecy." -#AdamSerwer / #TheAtlantic
