@AliceFromQueens I find it had to see how anyone sees “woke” as a uniform or delimited thing. People feel pressure to respond to historic discrimination, they do it to greater and lesser degrees, there are uncertainty and second thoughts and confusion. It’s not a single ideology or contingent.

@DKThomp@AlecMacGillis Or continental European countries have a higher level of resistance in traditional cultures (poss: English as a late imperial language more porous, cultures more diverse)
I’ve been pretty critical of Democrats’ response on Iran, but credit where it’s due: both Joaquin Castro and Chris Murphy have been outspoken and engaged.
