To me, “woke” is indicative of any ideology that sacrifices logic, reason, rational thought, wisdom, knowledge, history, and facts on the altar of socio-political agendas. For example, when we as a society start to rationalize the idea that biological sex is somehow a subjective cultural construct, and not a scientific fact, we are doing ourselves a great injustice. The inability for many people to define what a woman is means that we are collectively losing our grasp on reality.
We cannot start redefining words and their meanings simply to make a small portion of the population feel more validated in their subjective experience. We can, and should, love them and want the very best for their lives. They should have the freedom to live their adult lives however they see fit, so long as it’s not infringing on the rights of others. But that should never include turning our backs on objective truth to do so. We can both love and support them, AND hold firm to what we know is fact. These concepts are not mutually exclusive. 🙏

@ZacharyLevi Hey Zachary, what do you consider "woke"? I feel like that term is so over-used by conservatives that it's become the equivalent to the Left's usage of the word "Nazi" or "racist."

Marx would be making fun of all of us for seeing Trump as a world-historical individual leader instead of what he really is, a grotesque mediocrity whose rise to dictatorial power is a symptom of structural factors that we have let fester for decades while we pursued profits.

if Marx was resurrected today and learned about all the stuff that's happened since, what specific political ideology would he have

I already posted this video today but I want to drive the point home. Obama promised to codify Roe, had the votes to do it, but chose not to.
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren
This is your daily reminder that Donald Trump is responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade.

@marcorandazza Except they don’t have to do that. They can vote however they want.

Pro Choice women only:
Let’s broker a deal where there would be absolutely no restrictions on abortions. None.
But you have to vote at the same time for absolutely no restrictions on guns (except the mentally ill and criminals can’t have them).
You in?

@courtnelc I have absolutely no memory of people wearing anything distinctive in 2003, except “business casual” had made definite inroads over the previous decade.
English
The clothes are more giving costume version of 2003. The fashion isn’t quite 2003. The boys clothes are too well fitting. Half the girls would’ve been dress coded. They would’ve been wearing leggings under the skirts. Jeans need to be more faded. Denim jackets were more a thing.
Oxtail Pricing Specialist@simsimmaaz
I don't know how to explain it but this feels like what a 10 year thinks 2003 was like and not actually what it was like. There's something unauthentic about it. There's something missing

@AoDespair I’ve been to one Red Sox Yankees playoff game at Fenway and I have to say that, even as an Alabamian, I found the openly racist jeering jarring.
English
Once took my son to an Opening Day game between the Red Sox and Yankees in the Bronx. Sat in the upper deck. Watched Yankee fans verbally abuse and then pour beer on men and women who were wearing Sox gear and in attendance with their children. Worst baseball fans I've encountered, and I've been to every MLB stadium save one.
Hey, Wendell.
Wendell Pierce@WendellPierce
Unfortunately I just left the Yankees game because I was talking to a Dodgers fan and people were throwing things at me. Unruly, obnoxious people can ruin everything. The worst experience ever. The game and experience is of no significance now. The spirit of sports ends with the ugliness of humanity

@EndWokeness So you’re saying he didn’t speak the apostrophe out loud when he referred to the garbage spewed by Trump’s supporters on stage at the rally in New York last night? Which is the obvious reference?
English
HOLY SHLIT.
Politico just added an apostrophe to the quote, making it seem like Biden is just labelling one supporter as garbage.
This is literal state propaganda.

I think you fix this by firing Lewis, publishing the spiked piece, and building a firewall between Bezos and editorial that the guild signs off on; kind of easy and reasonable when you think about it

There are so many reasons this is ridiculous, but here's one:
Who do you actually think the gross majority of the men who stormed the beaches at Normandy would vote for?
The answer is obvious: Donald J. Trump.

Yeah good point, we used to fight nazis not vote for them

Journalist Mark Halperin: “I’ve been pitched a story about Donald Trump now for about a week, that if True, would end his campaign.”

@realmattcarr Yeah, I’d like for @JesseKellyDC to suggest the one big glaring example of an action Barack Obama took that stoked racial tensions for consideration, because nothing’s coming to mind for me either.

@JEHutton @NormOrnstein I suppose you could argue that the offer is for signing the petition, but he makes registration a requirement for that. So it would be like paying somebody to pick up your laundry, but making the offer only to people driving trucks stolen from your neighbor.
English
@JEHutton @NormOrnstein What is your interpretation of the relevancy of "Whoever[...]pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both", in 52 U.S. Code § 10307(c)?

Before Hoover passed the Smoot-Hawley tariffs that fueled the Great Depression, 1000 economists petitioned him to veto the bill.
