I’m getting a little tired of explaining this but if you want to connect some dots - woke is decency.

So when they claim to be ‘anti woke’ what they mean is anti decency. They WANT to be indecent without judgement. No shame. No decency. NO JUDGEMENT for being vile.

After initially appearing to come out against the rules, Donald Trump seemed to change his mind, backing Hegseth and even warning the White House press corps that he could “very easily” move them "across the street." —@status.news

Could be a new era for them.

‼️ this was a striking moment, to me

Louisiana was basically like 'here come these Black people always asking for more' and Justice Jackson was like, 'that's not what the fuck they're asking for, they're saying: stop discriminating against us'

"Regardless of what you think about any individual person, food assistance should not be predicated on meeting your personal definition of deserving. People shouldn’t have to perform feats of social worth to get food; in our incredibly wealthy society, people should just get food."

Oh, by the way, I wrote in @thenation.com about how Trump is condeming millions of Americans to hunger this Thanksigiving with his accelarated timeline of adding work requirements for SNAP benefits.
I also discussed how work requirements provably don't work, for the neoliberals in your life.

Trump Has Just Condemned More Americans to Hunger

The administration’s decision to fast-track a bunch of changes to food stamps—including new work requirements—is as stupid as it is cruel.

Every bit of this is a wound you need to feel, like this: “Over time, I would come to see Epstein and Maxwell less as boyfriend and girlfriend, and more as two halves of a wicked whole.” Wicked indeed and anyone affiliated with this pair deserves every bit of scrutiny. Release the Epstein files.

These debates remind me of the time my team won a championship (in dominating fashion). Every step of the way fans were complaining, arm chair qb’ing, & nit picking. The team ended up being argued as one of the best of all time.

After weaponizing the Justice Department to go after his enemies, Trump now plans to turn the IRS on them as well. This is one of the abuses of power cited in the July 1974 articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon.
