Dismantle the whole carceral state. Police don't actually accomplish their purported goal of protecting communities. And removing perpetrators from society does little to address the harm they've done.
"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 booked my tire change appointment for today three weeks ago, but of course we got the first snowfall of the year yesterday. They are completely swamped, but they were at least nice enough to call me an Uber home and another one to bring me back when they're done to spare me a 3+ hour wait.

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.
