Alison Roman lost her NYT column in 2020 because she published Asian-fusion noodle recipes without doing the food version of a land acknowledgment.
i think when people say “woke 1 was crazy” they should be required to specify exactly what was so crazy about it because i’m getting scared 😐

I survived “Woke 1” and all I got were some memes and friendships to last a lifetime.

I’ve had enough conversations about abortion to know this never happens which is why it needs to be legally protected!
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signs the bill for abortions up to birth as Democrats celebrate.

Minneapolis city council member saying “violent criminals needs to be taken off the streets”. Police chief saying “NOT going to remove from home”. Is this the bizzaro Minneapolis? m.youtube.com/watch?v=V74BVI…

The people who went all in for “Woke 1” were not “overzealous with their good intentions”. Rather, they kind of failed a marshmallow test and showed that they couldn’t resist an opportunity to dish out punishment and were willing to use flimsy pretexts to do so. Nobody who was ever excited by its possibilities to enact “change” should be trusted to lead anything ever again

"What she means is, 'We tried to shove it down your throats through the sheer power of our freakout before. This time, we’re going to get elected first.' AOC has to refer to 'Woke 1' because 'Woke 2' is now ascendant, and its primary characteristic is its effort to remarket itself as a viable electoral movement, less insane than that initial run from a screeching mob of torch-bearing half-literate buffoons who tried to burn the American project to the ground. Since Woke 2 is, like AOC, dusting itself off to run for office, it wants you to forget this earlier incarnation, even though none of its adherents have apologized or changed their minds" xitter.cf/mtaibbi/status/2086872…

This new tactic of AOC and her allies -- to giggle away their past "crazy" ideas -- should not be tolerated. "Woke" wasn't just some harmless, zany moment. It was a sinister movement that destroyed careers and reputations for the smallest thought crimes. It needs a reckoning.

The best argument against birthright citizenship is to just watch an hour of @hasanthehun’s greatest hits.
