I think my 'most woke opinion' is that all people are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
It turns out the necessary conclusions are so woke we still aren't quite there 250 years later.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

My wokest opinion is that there shouldn’t be any private high schools or elementary schools.
Education is a matter of the common public good and everyone at the K-12 level should have an equal opportunity with the same resources to attain a common educational baseline.

the Fascism Knowers all fleeing the country to whine from foreign lands was just another type of elite capitulation. i hope they enjoy their employment elsewhere because i am disinclined to offer it back to them should they return.
Jason Stanley isn’t afraid to use the F-word when talking about President Donald Trump.
The author of How Fascism Works and Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future is clear: He believes the US is currently under an authoritarian regime led by a fascist leader.

I study fascism. I’ve already fled America.
On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

my ideal response to AI and crypto is a lot closer to an air strike than a bailout
“It’s not that I’m for austerity, it’s just that I’m against bailing out AI, crypto, private assets/university endowments, and I’m fine with canceled Thanksgiving flights and missed paychecks as long as Republicans take the blame for it.”

I live in a red county in NJ.
My dad lives with me. Last year on November 6th he took down my "Vets for Harris" sign while I was at work. I had wanted to leave it up as an act of defiance for at least a couple days. But he was worried about what our neighbors would do, so he took it down.

I was told for months by MAGA that New Jersey was now a swing state and very much in play.
Mike Johnson: "What happened last night is blue states and blue cities voted blue. We all saw that coming. And no one should read too much into last night's election results."

Ah yes, the paper's please in order to buy food will really resonate with voters.
Trump: "It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do and that's terminate the filibuster ... we should start tonight with 'the country's open, congratulations,' then we should pass voted ID, we should pass no mail in voting ... you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID."

the future of the democratic party is a coalition of the wokest people on tumblr and absolutely dead-eyed pursuers of the national interest and the maximization of GDP
funny that the two groups in the political class who have been the least enthusiastic about trump term 2 are like neocon blob guys and economists
I feel like the econ policy people have been less annoyingly centrist on Trump than the rest of the think tank ecosystem purely because the only concrete policy he’s pursued in two months are tariffs, which like none of them like

Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great unstable government is in town tonight. Go and start a color revolution. That should pick you up."
CIA Agent bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor... America is that color revolution.”

No no, they look like they’re in Kandahar circa 2012. The Marines cleared Fallujah in way more budget gear, no fancy plate carriers or high-cut helmets.
Except for the masks. The masks make them look like Iraqi National Police sectarian hit squads in 2006 Iraq.

The photos in this Chicago Tribune piece… It's a quiet middle-class inner suburb, but these guys look like they're in Fallujah circa 2006.
The uniforms indicate Border Patrol and its BORTAC "special operations" unit.
