Joe Biden Versus the Undertow

People saying that not being able to define “woke” with a hard r is part of the right’s strategy. True! Which is why it’s best to respond, “What does ‘woke’ mean other than just a fancy way to use the n-word?”

Weird how when you come with a new way to use the n-word that you don’t want to define it

Mike Pence literally said on Fox News last Thursday that he wants to "replace" Social Security with a "better deal." If you think the GOP's war on Social Security is over, you are kidding yourself.

The local University #MichiganTech recently reversed a student government decision and forced them to fund a conservative speaker from Turning Point USA claiming that not doing so violated the speaker's constitutionally protected free speech. A busy week of student activism, secret meetings, and social media pressure all lead up to a fierce clash between students and administration this past Friday.

If that sounds interesting then give my story a read.

The thing they mean when they say "woke mind virus" is mostly the idea that women and brown-skinned minorities are not biologically inferior in one way or another to men and whites/asians and should be treated as equals.

They will actually say this out loud if you interrogate their claims or ask them to explain themselves in detail!

THREAD

The latest filing by Dominion Voting Systems in its defamation suit against Fox nails something critics have long argued for.

Fox is not a news organization. It's something else.

But what is this other thing? In this thread, I will try to answer that.

Next slide, please. 1/

The whole national divorce thing is pretty stupid, and while most of the people arguing for it are right-wingers mad that most of us think it’s wrong to hate trans people, the fact that our electoral map is broken up by states, which are then colored either solid red or solid blue, tricks even some reasonable people into thinking it makes sense. When in reality, this is what the country looks like, making clear there are basically no red or blue states.
