having no minimum age for marriage is very woke, and not at all groomerish
This sounds a lot like poor white monkeys not wanting to be treated as such.

Rolling back child labor protections is very woke.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...aws-violationsAs child labor law violations have been on the rise in the US, some state legislators are pushing for changes at state and federal levels to roll back protections in what some see as a threat to return child labor to the country.
The laws aim to expand permissible work hours, broaden the types of jobs young workers are permitted to do, and shield employers from liability for injuries, illnesses or workplace fatalities involving very young workers.
Child labor law violations have increased in the US, with a 37% increase in fiscal year 2022, including 688 children working in hazardous conditions, with the number likely much higher as the recorded violations stem from what was found during labor inspections.
The Department of Labor issued a press release in July 2022 noting child labor violations and investigations have increased since 2015.
Several high-profile investigations involving child labor have been exposed over the past year, including the use of child labor in Hyundai and Kia supply chains in Alabama, at JBS meatpacking plants in Nebraska and Minnesota, and at fast-food chains including McDonald’s, Dunkin Donuts and Chipotle.
Amid these increases in child labor violations, legislative efforts have been introduced in several states to roll back child labor protections.
In Iowa, Republican legislators introduced a bill in January to expand the types of work 14- and 15-year-olds would be permitted to do as part of approved training programs, extend allowable work hours, and exempt employers from liability if these young workers are sickened, injured or killed on the job.
Had a former carrier guy point that out to me. culture war hysteria meets chickenhawk ignorance of military affairs.

Navy has historically had way too many uniforms/outfits for its personnel compared to the other services, tbh.

You're so full of man and I don't believe for a second that you have this big group of diverse friends so who the are you kidding? I'm in a gym constantly with blacks and mexicans all the time yet here you are lecturing me when I grew up around nothing but blacks and mexicans too.
If I rock your woke world view and you don't like what I say simply off already bro. Simple as that.
What are you arguing? You claiming you didn't state that in black and white for the world to see? You pretend everyone has to understand the context behind why you post what you post but at the end of the day you still posted it and it's there for everyone to read for themselves.
Forcible detransition after a grace period, if the doctor thinks discontinuing treatment will do harm.
Literally a law that contemplates harm to patients, then makes the harm mandatory.

Who's policing pronouns and putting kids in danger again?
Papers, please.
Because requiring minors to upload their government issued ID, by which they can be personally identified and located, has no foreseeable downsides for their privacy and safety.
15 year olds aren't mature enough to use social media or read about Jim Crow, but they are mature enough to assume the responsibilities of parenthood and open carry in Missouri.
"The “cancel culture” and anti-“wokeism” moral panics rely on a complete inversion of the actual balance of power, portraying traditionally marginalized groups as mighty forces that urgently need to be reined in – and those in elite positions as desperately in need of protection.---Thomas Zimmer.
It’s an unbelievably cynical game: Some of society’s most vulnerable groups – trans people, for instance, whose fundamental rights, including their right to exist in the public square, are being stripped away – are presented as a dangerous, powerful cabal.
n a way, the New York Times recently elevating an unhinged anti-“woke” crusader like Pamela Paul is actually useful: In everything she writes, the cynical inversion of power is dialed up to 11 – which gets you to “In defense of JK Rowling.” It’s not gonna get any more obvious.
Think about how silly this is: “Oh, the woke militants dominate everything over there!” – when the New York Times has just hired staunchly conservative David French to join the existing stable of famous anti-“woke” columnists like Pamela Paul, Bret Stephens, and David Brooks.
The only “persecution” that is happening here is David French being criticized online. Some of that criticism may even be unfair or cross the line – the internet is a nasty place. But that’s it. No one is firing or “canceling” him. No one in a position of power is doing anything.
In this way, this whole affair captures the anxiety that fuels the reactionary crusade against “wokeism” and “cancel culture”: Societal elites - and elite white men, in particular - face a little more scrutiny and public criticism today than in the past. And they don’t like that.
As soon as traditionally marginalized groups gained enough power and acquired the technological means to make their demands for respect and their criticism heard, traditional elites started bemoaning “persecution” - “The hordes are coming to cancel us!”
Important to note that it’s mostly the *threat* of scrutiny, the *potential* of being held to account that is enough to cause the next round of reactionary panic. In practice, the power structures that have traditionally defined American life have unfortunately held up just fine.
These moral panics appeal to (predominantly white, predominantly male) elites because the threat to elite impunity is real - “cancel culture” and “wokeism” may have made it slightly more likely that people get in trouble for racist, misogynistic, disrespectful behavior.
Simply put, elite life in the public spotlight has become slightly more uncomfortable, at least for elites who used to be able to get away with absolutely everything and now they (potentially) don’t anymore. People like David French and Pamela Paul get more public criticism."

Wokism is anything which threatens white elite power. Best definition I have seen so far, tbh.
just... wow.
what does DeSantis need this information for?
https://www.insider.com/ron-desantis...al-care-2023-2DeSantis asked to see anonymized information of any student who has experienced gender dysphoria in the past five years. In addition, he wants their ages and the dates they received gender-affirming care. The deadline to submit those records was February 10.
Insider has confirmed that University of Florida, Florida State University, University of Central Florida, Florida A&M University, Florida International University, and the University of North Florida have complied with the request, but has yet to hear back from the rest.
Woke government denying children's right to work
Boutans took a break? Impressive. Good for him.
Winehole you don't need to spam links. I'm not judging you but this is major criticism of social media. Do you really need to know what is happening everywhere all the time. Doesn't that skew your perspective?
He's not spamming.
my takes are there, pull quotes not too lengthy, it not just bare links and copypasta. I'm not surprised you're annoyed, though.
