Anyone who proclaims to be on the “Left” and is Anti-Woke. They are against;

BIPOC

Women

LGBTQ+

Disabled

And

Working Class People

All of these are Woke by definition. And you cant separate them. Anyone who isnt against or critiquing capitalism is a grifter. Too many of them are out there.

The GOP literally wants to kill women.

Qasim Rashid, Esq. @qasimrashid.com · 1d

3 MAGA extremists have re-intro'd a bill that allows South Carolina to execute women who receive an abortion. If you haven't heard about S 323, it's because corporate media has completely ignored it.

Here's the overview, the sponsors, & how to fight back:

S. Carolina RE-Intros Bill To Kill Women For Getting An Abortion

Here's what's in the bill, why it is so dangerous, and the meaningful steps you can take to fight back, support women's health, and help block this bill from becoming law

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 3: Earl Manigault

When he stepped onto the court, the world watched. No one dunked harder or jumped higher. But the GOAT never made it pro.

There are countless NYC stories like his. Brilliant talents lost to drugs or crime. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Cam Schlittler is the first pitcher in MLB history with 8+ scoreless innings and 12 strikeouts in a winner-take-all postseason game.

PhilTheBronxite @philthebronxite.bsky.social · 5d

If you would have told me before this game. That Cam Schlittler would toss 7 shut out innings with 11 strikeouts. I would have laughed in your face.

some truly effed up allegations in this lawsuit filed against James Dolan/MSG: using facial recognition tech/running background checks on fans who shouted "sell the team"; spying on a trans woman because ownership was concerned she was too friendly w/the Knicks cdn.pacermonitor.com/public/case/...

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
