Wokism
John DePetro and Justin Katz discuss the political news of the week.
Well, look, Electric Boat relies hugely on government funding in Rhode Island and Washington, D.C.: Radicals in the Democrat Party will hold a lack of such policies against Electric Boat, while even the most conservative Republicans who can possibly gain decisive power in government won’t hold it against them very strongly. Barring discrimination lawsuits in…
While the news cycle has definitely moved on from Michaels’s explanation of how crazy California has become, it’s worth pausing for an observation. By her own admission, she is and remains progressive. She’ll play along with a child’s gender dysphoria, for example, even if she thinks puberty blockers and schools’ lying to parents is beyond…
The explanation is worth a read in full: Maybe you’re not convinced. Perhaps you’re inclined to agree with former U.S. ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, who tweeted in May, “Hamas has nothing in common at all with liberal or progressive values.” If you think he has a point, look more closely at those protesting in…
Rhode Island’s governor and Democrat legislators are willing to trample the rights and bodies of children in order to protect medical butchers from facing consequences for their actions.
Maybe some Millennials are too young to remember, but the ability of government school students to wear whatever t-shirts they wanted was once a major theme in the mainstream media.

Jordan Peterson has this right, but the darkness of the fact needs to be emphasized: We’ve been seeing teens charged with felonies for riding over these sections of road disrespectfully, even as Hamas supporters get away with defacing statues. It’s obvious we’re being demanded to treat these symbols with reverence, as if they’re the state religion,…
I’ve been pondering Joe Biden’s stated belief that Americans have no standing to complain about illegal immigrants’ raping American women because we rape our own brothers and sisters in the home. It’s tempting to hope he’s just a rambling old man who can no longer construct coherent thoughts (whatever that might mean for the fact…
What a silly cartoon this is: If the position for which they’re selecting involves climbing, then this exam is dead on. Ignoring context and purpose for the sake of identity-group parity is a DEI sleight of hand.
I’ve been railing for years against the public policy inclination coming down from the state Department of Education to have schools actively lie to parents about their children’s expressed gender identity. Social media can sometimes give the impression that the tide is turning, and it may be, but we should expect progressive strongholds in Rhode…
