Anyway, Brooks helpfully lists the characteristics of wokery in bullet-points, enabling some immediate commentary: “We shouldn’t emphasize what unites all human beings; we should emphasize what divides us.” […]

A genocide of Palestinians is happening in Gaza now, in tandem with Israel’s methodically opportunistic ethnic cleansing in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Whenever something threatens the big bubble they’ve created around their precious Supreme Court majority they turn into shrieking harpies: Tempers exploded at a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting Thursday before Democrats voted to subpoena a major conservative donor and a prominent conservative activist linked to the Supreme Court’s ethics scandals. The Republican members of the committee stormed out of the hearing room in the Hart Building shortly before Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) called a vote on authorizing the subpoenas.

Durbin went ahead with the vote shortly before noon to prevent Republicans from delaying it until next week by invoking a rule to limit committee meetings to two hours.
