So many to choose from, but I feel like I have to go with the fan favorite: Use of facial recognition should be punished the same as uranium smuggling. Double for police. 100% serious.
"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.

I finally got to watch this and it's truly excellent. In all these years I never realized that the Anderson went back out into the storm to look for survivors.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery

It is so, so important to learn to understand the difference between A Gross Thing That Freaks Me Out, versus A Thing Which Causes Actual Harm In The World
because as long as you can't navigate the difference, your disgust is a lever that can be used to manipulate you

As someone who used to mow 10 acres a week and tried to make it look nice, my hat is off to these grounds keepers.
Even the lawns at the Radcliffe Camera have stories to tell. 👏

‘The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald’ song is a tribute to the shipwreck and Lake Superior
Sit on a barstool along Lake Superior in November, and you might well hear Gordon Lightfoot’s ballad written soon after the ship sank.

These people are renegades acting outside their lawful authority. Abolition is the only way forward.
If we want to stop the kidnappings and these agents require anonymity to commit these actions, then we must remove the masks.
So long as we allow masked law enforcement to terrorize people, we cannot be a democracy.
So long as we allow masked law enforcement to terrorize people, we cannot be a democracy.
I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.
It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

15 percent of American homes lacked indoor plumbing in 1960.
The idea that everyone in 1955 America lived in a split-level suburban home with two cars and three kids and one income is, quite simply, a fantasy borne of media consumption.

I'm so sick of these Un-American Republicans. It's extremely simple: We fought a war about if only white people are American or not. You can tell who lost by looking at the list of names of the people entombed in the USS Arizona.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
