woke is just a word used to dehumanize people in a minority that have been begging their country and fellow Americans for help and the opposition says fuck you and your empathy like what! the Dems capitulated they should have all been like Al Greene he was the only true patriot there.
Moves like this are cruel and inhuman. And I think cuts in public research like this are so that Big Pharma can get such funding to create their own medicines and charge big bucks for them.
So it's woke to care? I think woke to these folks is a word that means showing concern for anything or anybody. God forbid they have a heart or you're a woke piece of shit. At the same time, many of them believe in God and God cared for others so he's woke too? How does this work in their brain?
I remember Elon said, America's greatest weakness is Empathy. Well, I angrily disagree Mr shit bag. I have 3 siblings lost to Maga and we all were brought up the same in a good household. I don't speak to them. Fuck them.
How else does empathy become a sin rather than just another regular word?
These people just eat and shit out of their mouth with the amount or garbage the produce..?
Real question is what can we do to help ourselves??
Trump and his Republican lackeys declare that any spending that does not directly profit them (personally) is “waste”, anything that they don’t personally like is “fraud”, and anyone taking any money that they’ve put into those categories as committing “abuse”. And every bit of that is fabrication.
Can any of these right wing geniuses just come out with a direct definition of woke? No examples, just a definition. Because from what I can tell it means empathy. No wonder these selfish assholes are so against it.
See i posted 3 or 4 years ago about something i read, it said people are living to long.
It was a story about how medical advancements have kept people alive longer, survive illnesses that usually claimed lives.
I said at that point, somehow someone will want to fix this to make money!$!
“I’d hate anyone to think I have empathy for sick children but maybe someone could look into trying to help them, maybe…I’m so embarrassed, I hope no one I know sees this!”
Can see 3 possibilities for funding:
1 Government
2 Capitalism
3 Self-Help
Govt good at long-term projects.
Capitalism can raise funds but wants foreseeable returns, caring scale and timetable.
Self-Help.. Crowdfunding etc is too inchoate, unreliable, sensation-driven.
Of course, 1 and 2 cooperate.
It’s gonna be a challenge when we are living in squalor with not a dime to our name. Donations will not be plentiful. The people with the money to donate do not care bc if they did we wouldn’t have bi/millionaires.
It should involve govt, but we need all new reps. It may be the one thing dumpy was right about. This govt needs to drain the swamp and unfortunately that includes some Dems like Schumer and of course all of the ReTrumplicans.
This is exactly the comment I came on to make. "Woke"?!!! God, I am sick (and embarrassed as an American) of the soulless, ignorant, dolts that use that word as a negative to disparage or offend.
Yglesias is a sell out...money is better on the right wing side. Always follow the money.
And no republicans care about kids...except possibly their own.
Musk killed food for starving children, Medicaid is all there is for more than 50% of American children, and SNAP and free school lunches gutted.
They never will! Let's not forget DEI is the new way to say the N word! They are too incompetent to understand DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION ... they are basically illiterate and repeat talking points
I thought Republicans were pro-life. Obviously, when they hear about this, there will be a massive outcry from all the anti-abortion folks, right? I mean, they couldn’t be hypocrites, right?😳
Brought to you by the same people who are actively working to utterly destroy the United States, democracy, the rule of law, and everything we stand for - while oppressing and killing as many as they possibly can worldwide.
Maybe Republican children don’t get brain cancer or more likely, they don’t know what pediatric means and like transgenic mice, have it all confused in their muddled minds.
No matter what party you affiliate yourself with the ONE that COUNTS is the party that will save lives, fund research, assist those who need help emotionally, financially, and physically. The rest can go pound sand! It’s people over party! Start voting like you care for your families!!!
Look at this, Americans.
We looked at you as the country that used to support freedom around the world. But now, your majority chose to be slaves to a dictator, his party, his billionaire friends, & Putin.
Europe is rising, and you are dying.
You know, it is gratifying to see that the entire world is using the Clown car shit show of the US nazi party as a example of what they don't want their countries to be. Yes we are dying, it is sad but it is what Magats wanted.
The question you should be asking is “Do you want it, will your children/grandkids want it”
If the answer is No then you all need to unite and fight it, it maybe MAGATS fault but it doesn’t have to be your future
Not sure how many (especially men lacking empathy) still aren't understanding this, but women of my daughter's generation are choosing to never have children. There will be no grandchildren for fascists in the USA.
People are protesting in smaller scale in probably all 50 states. Unfortunately, we don’t see it on broadcast on national news outlets. I did see it on msnbc when I watched.
It is very gratifying, but could do with a little less superiority from other countries, as this is serious and can happen anywhere. The unfortunate thing is that we have a lot more stupidity and hate here. But the world would be wise to remember that hate spreads.
Children with brain cancer.
How about the literal millions of old people, or not old but just obese. Few of these folks, if poor, will make it through the next blistering hot summer. No money, no air conditioning,
As Markwayne Mullin said about the 'new' SS. No work, no get any money.
Science? Other than military or biological needs to you see large amounts of 'science' going on in Russia?
trump is more concerned about population control. Isn't that obvious?
Kind of like Mexico handles their drug addicts.
They just die.
Die like the starving or the med. untreated.
When did cancer research become woke? When did supporting veterans and mail delivery and ensuring retired people have access to funds they paid into their entire lives become woke? When did woke start to mean that anything good is bad?
Efficiency, too. These psychos say they are destroying the United States for efficiency’s sake. Those two morons couldn’t toast a slice of bread efficiently, much less run a government.
It's similar to "bleeding heart liberal" of the 70's. Yesterday someone started some shit with me because of a magazine I read (Jacobin, here on Bsky) so I cancelled my business contract with them. I'm a Canadian (not a Venezuelan) with my Socialism but that was triggering enough so I'm done (!) 😑
So pro-life is a MAGA thing but fighting cancer after the kid is born borders on “woke.” Yup. Right on brand. Protect the fetus when it’s a political tool. Fuck the kid once they’re born.
No… Donald, no. I didn’t mean it THAT wa- oh bloody hell he Epstein’d again.
I have cancer. My daughter has cancer. I don't give a rat's ass who claps or doesn't clap at a SOTU. I care which party supports research and programs that help us live.
I'm so sorry. Cancer is terrible. I hope you have options, and agree about supporting research. North Dakota? I was born in Jamestown and grew up on a farm 40 miles south of there.
What does being woke have to do with treating pediatric brain cancer? Lord, they use the word and don’t know what it means. There are too many idiots on the internet who have influence.
Yeah Mathew…we certainly do not want you to put yourself out there too far…HAVING CONCERN ABOUT FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS..!
Just stay in your single wide and die a lonely death…👋👋👍
You know you're in a cult when having an independent thought makes you fear "going woke" LOL. Let it play out and y'all might actually understand what woke means. 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve heard folks in town halls saying things like “I’m no liberal or democrat, but you’re taking funding from XYZ institution that gives me or my family money” The qualifiers are WILD. Might as well be “I’m not a good person or anything, but I don’t love that you’re killing people”
Is that cognitive dissonance or a type of disassociation? Or is it like the pre-cult id in conflict with the cult ideology? Like the second you have an thought independent of the cult, you're waking up.
It hurts my heart how little empathy I have for trump supporters. It’s really tested my humanity. But if maga were drowning and held out a hand for help I’d high-five them and wave goodbye.
His entire statement is making a point about the absurdity of the right wing calling pediatric cancer research woke. I’m tired of people who want to fight fascism arguing with each other. And here you are trying to belittle and insult me too, now. Definitely not a great way to build a movement.
to be fair, our breakthroughs made by public institutions just get stolen and profited off of by the industry. So at this point, fuck 'em, I guess we can all just die from what could otherwise be hard won cures. They just do to the new stuff what they did to insulin.
They demonstrate to all of us that they are incapable of existing here in civilized society. They should "pick themselves up by the bootstraps" as they always like to say, and relocate themselves out to the wilderness with all the other wild animals who have no empathy for anyone/anything else.
They expect us to show respect to the President
Show me a President that is worth respect, and I will clap like hell
Just because he conned a lot of people into believing he cared about them does not mean that I fall for it
I will stand and clap for any Veteran because I respect them
Don’t forget the exploitation of a child with brain cancer. Maybe funding treatment research would have actually helped that poor kid one day become an agent.
Right now I think a lot of us are so distressed that jokes and sarcasm just don't feel good. After Friday I think a lot of us are feeling pretty hopeless about the future of our democracy.
Democrats need to take back the word woke!
These maga are using it for everything and anything.
Take it back! Make fun of these fuckers for using it for everything ! Make them feel ridiculous!
They said not supporting the Tate brothers is WOKE.. are they serious?!
Come on dems!
You'd think that it would be a gimmie, the type of research everyone feels good about, and no one wants to be on record opposing. It's not that these people have no soul, which we knew, but they don't care if we know.
In Republican ignorance, there lies bliss! It's true of every single topic - climate change, vaccines, clean air/water, forest fire handling etc. etc. Don't listen, don't learn is their motto.
From an ethical and moral point of view it is unthinkable, but also from an economic point of view it is questionable to withdraw from research projects.
Thousands of patents are registered in America through research and are an important part of the economic growth of the USA.
You can call any senator not just your own.
Use this intro:
Senator you were elected to a national level office and your votes impact every person in the country. I am calling you as one of those citizens.

So a funny thing. France just offered a deal for any American scientist to emigrate you France and immediately get a place to work and a permanent visa
They got so swamped with applications they are begging other Europeans countries to take them, who are happily obliging.
Looks like it is time to call out the *woke*. Accuse him of catching the *woke mind virus* and force him to take the statememt back to prove he's NOT infected.
russia has the average American so brainwashed & confused. Ever wondered how it is that masses for so long tolerated monarchies, tilled away until they withered & died with praise on their lips for their leader? Enjoy your American North Korea! You voted for this

Some people are born with a reduced empathy response or are conditioned to turn it off as a defense mechanism from an abusive childhood.
These people chose to kill their own souls to own the libs.
These people just eat and shit out of their mouth with the amount or garbage the produce..?

Ask yourself who that serves?

Speaking of science is woke ?
This shit aint far from when Galileo was silenced by the church.
Science Saves Lives
Stop This Shutdown of Saving Lives

Republicans are embarrassed by empathy. Like WTAF?
Just, just, why was that a necessary thing to throw in there, Matty?
And no republicans care about kids...except possibly their own.
Musk killed food for starving children, Medicaid is all there is for more than 50% of American children, and SNAP and free school lunches gutted.
He’s worried that defending childhood cancer research might make him appear too “woke”?
WTF
how do legitimately fuckbrained imbeciles like mattY ever become things
It helps Russia and Putin.
Bad writing, bad faith in evidence.
I read it as him being like "not sure if this is too progressive, but minorities should have rights"
But it's probably not worth even like 25% charitably reading into his tweets haha
It will cure the brain cancer. A Brazilian jungle shaman told him so. Or maybe it was his heroin dealer.
Their lives are science and the work they do feeds them
Trump is making us irrelevant to the rest of the world
When we face challenging situations, our initial response is often negative.
By focusing on one positive thought each day, I cultivate stability.
With constant practice, this habit helps me stay steady, even in the toughest of times

MAGA celebrates the survivor, but not the people in the work who make it possible to survive.
Make that make sense
Just stay in your single wide and die a lonely death…👋👋👍
DJT callously trying to show he cares about pediatric cancer patients while defunding research?
You'd think the media would speak out.
You'd think the opposition would speak out.
Youd think cancer patients would speak out.

Be vocal.
Be visible if you can.
Out it in a BigMac
Deliver it to the White House
And then you’ll have funding to cancer research
You just have to say cancer cell cannot be digested and those morons will believe it
That’s the bottom line
They got so swamped with applications they are begging other Europeans countries to take them, who are happily obliging.
Thanks for the scientists
i believe that's what some would call rock bottom, sir.
Research for terminally ill children. Lord have mercy.
If these people were any less self-aware, they'd be in the hospital
