The Week in Woke

We're hitting levels of True Conservatism that shouldn't even exist!!!

I've gotta say, I'm rapidly becoming more anti-anti-Zohran than anti-Zohran. https://t.co/NqVH18uKcH -- Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) June 26, 2025

In other words, the True Conservative is pro-socialist/globalizing the intifada.

I hope the globalized intifada starts at Kristol's home.

Obligatory cruise ship.

When Pete Hegseth praised the "boys" who dropped the MOP on Fodrow, some idiot reporter whined, buh-buh-but what about the single woman pilot?

Shut up, Silly Woman!

Los Angeles liberals: ICE has scared illegals into not coming to work so we think that everyone should be free to remain in their apartments without paying rent.

Several unions are calling on the Los Angeles City Council to vote for a rent moratorium on the basis that deportation operations have severely shut down business activity.

The community groups say that businesses have been crippled by the loss of workers as well as consumers who are fearing detainment from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

...

"We know that many tenants will not be able to pay their rent come July 1," said Kenia Alcocer of LATU, who said she is also an illegal alien.

"Why? Because this militarization of our communities, this occupation of our community, this terrorizing of our communities have closed down businesses, have taken away street vendors, have separated families -- and then people cannot pay their rent," she added. "They have barely the minimum to survive."

...

"Our businesses are struggling. Entrepreneurship is at a standstill," the man said. "Fear has taken a toll on our society and our local economy."

That's not all. The Denver City Council voted to end a highly-successful program to apprehend car thieves. Why end a successful anti-crime program? Because it's successful, and they're catching a lot of illegal alien car thieves, and Denver doesn't want ICE deporting the illegal alien car thieves stealing citizens' cars.

Jonathan Turley:

In May, the council refused to renew the $666,000 contract with Flock for camera monitors around 70 Denver intersections to screen for car theft. That system resulted in the recovery of 170 stolen cars and 300 arrests. It is also credited with key evidence in the investigation of hit-and-run and murder cases.

However, it could also be used to assist ICE, and that is all that matters. Councilman Kevin Flynn explained it is all about Trump's election: "We know that it can help solve crime. But I think since maybe Jan. 20 of this year, those concerns are greatly heightened and have a new reality about them."

Note that hit-and-run killers are now being let free to kill again.

Andrew Sullivan wrote that the transgender movement has set back the gay movement by doing what the gay movement swore it would never do: Go after people's kids.

This is pretty obvious, yes, but it's published in the New York Times, which indicates that the left is attempting to prepare the base to abandon the transgender extremists.

John Sexton quotes Sullivan's obvious and very late take:

In the gay rights movement, there had always been an unspoken golden rule: Leave children out of it. We knew very well that any overreach there could provoke the most ancient blood libel against us: that we groom and abuse kids. You can bring up your children however you like, we promised. We will leave you alone. We will leave your children alone.

So what did the gender revolutionaries go and do? They focused almost entirely on children and minors. Partly because the adult issues had been resolved or close to it, and partly because true cultural revolutions start with the young, it meant overhauling the education not only of children with gender dysphoria, but of every other kid as well.

Kids all over the country were impacted. Your children were taught in elementary school that being a boy or a girl was something they could choose and change at will. Your daughter found herself running against a trans girl (i.e. a biological male) in athletics. Children in elementary school got to pick pronouns, and some children socially transitioned at school without their parents' knowledge or permission...

Soon enough, the right began associating what used to be the lesbian and gay movement with this gender extremism, and the L.G.B.T.Q.+ movement responded not by moderating tone or substance, but by closing ranks, seemingly determined to prove its point.

As LizLem said in a comment: Drag Queens never visit senior centers to read "Swish-Swish Go the Hips of the Drag Queen." The go right for the children.

See Sexton's article for NYT subscribers comments on the article -- they seem to agree. Oh, they don't really agree, I'm sure. But they've recognized the electoral apocalypse that's coming if they don't at least pretend to disagree with the child-obsessed trans groomers.

The feds are investigating Minnesota for allowing a hulking 6'2" man to dominate "girls" softball by pitching whiff shutouts like he's F*cking Thor hurling Mjolnir from the mound.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced it has launched a Title IX investigation into the Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League.

The inquiry will investigate whether Minnesota violated federal law by permitting male athletes to compete on girls-only sports teams--including in a recent high school softball championship.

OCR said the investigation was triggered because the "male athlete's participation was instrumental, leading the team to win the state title."

AOC continues lying about being a "Bronx girl." A former classmate of hers posted a picture of her in the Yorktown High School yearbook, proving this "Bronx girl" grew up in the affluent NYC suburb Westchester County.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's 'Bronx girl' narrative was shattered when a New York State Republican lawmaker exposed her yearbook photo from a top-ranked, high-performing public school.

On Tuesday, State Assemblyman Matt Slater jumped into the online clash between AOC and President Donald Trump, after the liberal progressive called for Trump's impeachment over his approval of airstrikes on Iran without congressional authorization.

The online clash ignited a fiery exchange between AOC and Trump, during which the congresswoman appeared to invoke her Bronx roots as a source of her toughness.

'Also, I'm a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully,' AOC wrote to X in regards to the president's Queens upbringing.

But Slater escalated the debate by unveiling a yearbook photo of her as a high school freshman in the affluent suburb of Yorktown, Westchester County - a 40-minute drive from the Bronx.

'If you're a BX girl then why are you in my Yorktown yearbook?' Slater wrote on X. 'Give it up already.'

Alongside his tweet, the Republican lawmaker posted two images: a black-and-white throwback of a young, smiling AOC, and the 2004 yearbook cover from Yorktown High School.

In a statement to The New York Post, he dismissed the 'AOC-Bronx mythology' as 'laughable,' adding that the claim is just as laughable to the 36,000 residents of the Westchester community.

'The truth is AOC is Sandy Cortez who went to Yorktown High School and lived at the corner of Friends Road and Longvue Street,' Slater told the outlet.

'She may think it makes her look tough or like some kind of champion for the radical left who voted for Zohran Mamdani, but she really needs to come clean and drop the act,' he added.

...

But Slater - representing parts of both Putnam and Westchester counties - quickly jumped in, posting the two photos with the caption beneath one: 'Here's the Yorktown High School '04 yearbook pic. Friends Road looks nothing like the Bronx.'

...

However, at just five years old, AOC moved with her family to a modest two-bedroom house on a quiet street in Yorktown Heights - a suburban relocation driven by the search for better schools, according to a 2018 article by The New York Times.

In 2007, the congresswoman graduated from Yorktown High School before attending Boston University, where she studied economics and international relations--and briefly engaged with establishment politics - before returning to the Bronx.

AOC has an answer to this: See, she visited her cousins who did live in the Bronx, and their tales of the desperation of Bronx-living are, like Jenjhis Khan, seared, seared into her memory.

Throughout her childhood, Representative Ocasio-Cortez traveled regularly to The Bronx to spend time with her extended family,' it adds.

'From an early age, the stark contrast in educational opportunities available to her and her cousins, based on their respective zip codes, made an impression on her.'

I once did a book report on Martin Luther King Jr. so I grew up in Georgia under Jim Crow. Do not deny My Truth.

Lawsuit alleges that the woke, anti-white racist corporation IBM fired a white man, claiming he was incompetent.

The lawsuit further alleges it then hired two minorities to do the job that the one "incompetent" white guy did.

Two legal groups are suing IBM over claims the technology company discriminated against an older white employee for the purpose of advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

America First Legal (AFL) and JW Howard Attorneys, LTD, filed a federal lawsuit against IBM on behalf of former employee John Loeffler, 64.

The lawsuit alleges that Loeffler was targeted to "advance IBM's internal DEI quotas," accusing the company of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The lawsuit claims that despite Loeffler's history of positive performance reviews and successfully leading a $30 million project, IBM placed him on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) with conditions that were "impossible to meet."

Loeffler objected to the plan and his recently assigned manager, Eric Castillo, conceded that the PIP's goals were unattainable, according to the lawsuit. Loeffler's lawyers contend the PIP was intentionally designed to force him out of his role in favor of younger, non-white staff.

"The PIP was pretextually designed to remove Loeffler from his position because he is an older white male," the lawsuit states. "IBM discriminates in favor of younger workers generally (as the EEOC explicitly found), and, in the name of 'diversity,' specifically discriminates against white males"

The lawsuit alleges that, after terminating Loeffler due to his inability to meet the targets, the company replaced him with two younger, non-white employees.

Prior to being fired, Loeffler had a nearly decade-long track record of success at IBM, according to AFL.

According to the lawsuit, Loeffler's 2021 performance review states, "John, your excellent work ethic and support for your teammates and others speaks for itself. I particularly would like to highlight the great work you continue to do."

The lawsuit also alleges that IBM denied Loeffler commissions he earned on a $30 million government contract that he worked on.

"Others on his team (who did less work on the project than he did), including racial minorities, were credited with work and afforded commission on the project, while he was denied it," AFL reported.

This lawsuit comes after years of IBM engaging in DEI policies that target white men. In 2021, video footage surfaced of IBM's CEO, Arvin Krishna, calling for racial and gender quotas in the hiring process. Krishna supported using coercive tactics to reach their goals, including financial incentives for those who met the quotas.

Pop singer Azaelia Banks pulls out of a London concert after alleging they pressured her to make a statement supporting the Palestinians: "I'm not putting on a f***in' hijab."

Azealia Banks @azealiaslacewig

So guys, I am cancelling Boomtown and Maiden Voyage, the promoters have been stressing me out for weeks trying to force me to say free Palestine and threatening to cut me from the bill because I won't say free Palestine and I'm not dealing with the threats and I'm not putting on a fucking hijab.

They're both basically trying to extort me - by insinuating that I need to say I support Palestine or they will drop me from the gig BUT I would much rather drop them and not associate with anything that has cheap group think bullshit attached to it.

If they want to allow some no-name dj's to bully them into desecrating the nature of this music ecosystem and make ME the issue - whilst there being absolutely no ethical consumption under capitalism. Then that's fine.

More thinly veiled racism
And overt antisemitism from the fucking gays for Hamas.

Banks is black. Azaelia Banks more like Azaelia Based, amirite

Azealia Banks @azealiaslacewig

And no, I'm not saying fuck actual Palestine. But fuck your dumb ass slogans and performative bullshit. Yall wanna make a stance so bad but stand for absolutely nothing. As soon as the media says pedophilia is "natural and normal,"
You bitches will be right there talking about #PEDOPHILERIGHTS

Like be fucking forreal.

That war has been going on in the background for fucking decades . Way before anyone alive today was born

And all of a sudden yall are throwing around words like genocide and Zionist not even knowing the meaning of those words

While you drive around in ur teslas and leave comments from your iPhones all built off the backs and the blood of children working in mines from dusk til dawn

There is zero ethical consumption under capitalism.

EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING.

I'm going to enjoy the rest of my summer and make music

It's time for a new ab record.
I don’t need to be on stage stressing out to appease some dumb ass protesters who literally rely on those people in Palestine being crushed so they can solicit donations they DO NOT give to the cause.

Kiss my ass

The backlash is growing, and it will break with a fury.

Leftwing communist c*nts are devastated by the Court's rulings:

why do they all wear those ridiculous enormous glasses

someone please explain why every communist propagandist is tryna be Swifty Lazar all up in this piece

they're so cultish

A Washington Post editor is a pedophile? And he had child exploitation material on his work computer? I shan't believe it, I simply shannot!

I don't know any facts in this case but just lookin' at him: GUILTY.

Jarvis @jarvis_best

Trump's DOJ is once again jailing journalists. This is how democracy dies. This is not normal. The Statue of Liberty.

Chilling.

The Bulwark's Tim Miller:

It's too bad there aren't any easy slurs we could lay on the Bulwark's Tim Miller.

The left claims that there's no problem with boys competing against girls in sports because there's no provable advantage to being male in sports.

Realty says that the Swiss women's adult national team, made up of the best women in the country, was just defeated 7-1 by an UNDER 15 boy's team.

Maine's woke governess Janet Mills gets heckled for her insistence that boys must be allowed to beat the hell out of girls in sports.

I love this -- the heckling occurred at a lottery for moose hunting licenses.

Why would this woke authoritarian tub-o'-lard think she can appear before hunters and get applauded? She's lucky she didn't get shot and stuffed.
