Hard to pick my MOST woke opinion, but I’ll start with an easy one: private insurance companies should be outlawed and insurance CEOs should be jailed.
"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.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.

This delivered so incredibly because you know it’s genuine. If some machine democrat had come up with such a sick burn, it’d be delivered like a comic with awful stage presence.
What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.
And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

Failing upward by way of being constantly boosted (and funded!) by right-wing billionaires is not what I find most objectionable about Bari Weiss. It’s her self-aggrandizing smugness that is so grating. Like.. grifters gonna grift, but don’t act like you’re saving the world.

Yes, because capitalist enterprise never seeks to capture up value share when costs decrease. C’mon, son.
ANDREESSEN: Even if AI ends up destroying all the jobs, “the result would be hyper-deflation of prices, which is the thing that people miss. .. Things that today cost a lot of money will all of a sudden be cheap or free.”

This guy is the future of the left in this country. The old guard of geriatric, consultant-dependent politicians is predictably trying to torch Zohran because he’s so good at this.
This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

Seems bad, imo. Maybe I should start to learn Mandarin.
This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: www.nytimes.com/inte...

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them.
ABC might as well be state media.
