Most woke? We should ban SUVs and large trucks in urban areas, as they are incompatible with urban life and pose severe dangers to cyclists and pedestrians.

I started studying the anti-vaccine movement more than fifteen years ago along with one of my colleagues, Dr. Kacey Ernst. It was clear to us even then that this movement was organized, effective, and growing.

Whether it’s for trans folks, or people with kids who need to get them out of medically dangerous situations, such as states that are pushing to eliminate vaccination etc etc

The US wasted so much time and energy in the 20th century preventing its citizens from getting universal Healthcare.
Now, we all have to suffer the consequences of that inaction.
