Every single time the right, or even center-left, goes ballistic over a "woke" controversy, the slightest bit of investigation shows the scandal is almost entirely bogus. This is not a new phenomenon; it dates back decades. It's an intentional tool used to protect the powerful and preserve the status quo, while further scapegoating and otherizing those who push for political progress. This podcast... more

I would love to see men try this - no, really - it would be a fun competition to watch! Poor Neal DeGrasse Tyson, bringing science to debate ego…t... more
