"Woke is about being decent to people" is the cleanest summary of our country's biggest problem: a lot of Americans are just assholes.
Gov. Walz to NBC: Trump has "normalized this type of hateful behavior."
"I think it's just because he's not a good human being, but secondly, [it's] to distract from his incompetency … Trump is like, 'This is language police. You guys are woke.' Many times, it's just about being decent to people."

RIP writer James Baldwin, died this day 1987.
"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain".
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

An AEW ppv appears to be a peak pro wrestling experience. Youre getting 5+ hours of good to great matches guaranteed, every time, and the crowd shows up ready to go knowing that.

I am really losing patience with Americans who treat their elected officials like celebrities they have to defend, instead of representatives they have to hold responsible. Grow the fuck up. Millions of lives are at stake.
