“What you might call diversity, I just call an open door.”

~ Russell T. Davies, "Dr. Who" screenwriter, in response to charges that the show is now too "woke" because it has two leading characters who are from minority communities

The Guardian · ‘Why be toxic?’: Russell T Davies hits back at claims Doctor Who too wokeBy Hannah Al-Othman

Agree with this take, but it’s frustrating seeing people using the right wing reframing of progressing justice as radical, and then equating fascism with that. Wording makes a difference because that’s a shorthand way to think about abstract ideas like freedom and privilege.

Conceptually it’s easy, but attacking language was literally the first way they vilified progressives in the first place and then tore down a rallying idea. #woke #fascism

#Tories bezeichnen #Veganer als Extremisten.
Man kann heutzutage scheinbar nichts mehr essen, ohne von den Tories als „#woke“ oder „#extrem“ bezeichnet zu werden. #Tofu, Avocados, Sandwiches, sogar Quorn. Es ist schon seltsam genug, die Liberaldemokraten, die gemäßigtste aller politischen Gruppen, als #Extremisten zu bezeichnen. Aber das bei einem Teller #Gemüse zu tun, widerspricht jeder Logik.

The prototype is rated at 40 Himmler's per hour, though with a skilled loader-operator the processing may be increased to 80 Himmler's per hour.

#DOGE is allegedly recommending wide spread adoption of these units at border crossings, ethnically ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ neighbourhoods, Social Security Offices, Hospitals and Residential Aged Care facilities.

The Deportment of Homeland Insecurity has allegedly placed an initial order of 200,000 units at the cost of $ 420690 each.

The #efficency driven units are HAILed as "The final solution to the useless eaters" by true American #Patriots.

"The #Woke virus must be destroyed, or else"

This is the quiet part spoken out loud. Thank you!No amount of #Trump, #MAGA voter suffering will change anything. In fact, it will only convince them they were right to feel victimized by the #Woke. All of this is, like he said, painful medicine they need to take to cure the #LiberalAgenda. No sacrifice is too great for them to maintain #WhiteSupremacy.

Raw Story · The suffering of white Trump voters isn't going to change a thingBy John Stoehr

In Canadian election, top #Conservative candidate vows to end ’#woke ideology’ in science funding | Science | AAAS science.org/content/article/ca “The vow—which echoes rhetoric used by U.S. President Donald #Trump’s administration to justify canceling research grants and shutting down government programs—has alarmed many researchers. “I think this is the first time a politician in Canada has crossed that line to officially say they want to interfere to control #research topics,”

"U.S. Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the only woman on NATO’s military committee, was fired over the weekend by the Trump administration, U.S. officials said Monday."

The decision was made last week by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Chatfield is the third top female officer to be fired since Trump took office.

Chatfield was on a list of senior military officers targeted as “woke” by the conservative American Accountability Foundation, which sent a letter to Hegseth saying that “purging the woke from the military is imperative.” They complained in the letter to Hegseth that those responsible for DEI policies “must be dismissed,” adding that military leaders should be focused on cultivating lethality, not on fostering diversity, equity and inclusion in the ranks.

« One prominent deals lawyer described himself as “flabbergasted” as he grappled with how far the share prices of his clients had fallen. A top Goldman Sachs executive summed up the frustration with Mr. Trump succinctly: Someone has to stop him.»

corruptocrats are now #woke to the fact the orange fuckwad was talking LITERALLY about destroying the world economy.
