Get white men to understand they have an identity and have done nothing but talk to us about their identities and how to politically and culturally accommodate their identities for all of history challenge: impossible

Universal Basic Income should be provided in the US, combined with Universal Healthcare, higher education, and affordable housing.
The arguments of people taking advantage of the systems in place always refer to impoverished people being “lazy” but never mention tax loopholes or corporate welfare.

"my least woke opinion is---"
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.

Now is a great time to go check out that local coffee shop that's maybe a couple blocks away.
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

The party that gleefully cheers on the real-life killing of civilians now stoking fear that they may hypothetically be caught in the crosshairs is the most on-the-nose "Face-eating leopards" shit I have seen in my adult life.
There's so many of these btw, NoVa right wingers realizing that their neighbors genuinely hate them

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a more succinct and powerful statement of the situation than this: “Few voters who prioritize bigotry want the diet version.” Got damn.
'Few voters who prioritize bigotry want the diet version, and trying to appease them alienates parts of the Democratic coalition. Yesterday’s vote shows that the path to defeating Trumpism is not accommodating it, but opposing it with the values of freedom, equality, and affordability.'

"Be more anti-immigrant, be more anti-trans, be more positive towards anti-democracy bigots like Charlie Kirk. Not as much as Republicans, but move in that direction, since that’s supposedly where the American people are.
Nope."
