    it’s almost like “woke” has always meant aware, and being anti it is being willfully unaware of how the world work

    He’s 46, in case anyone is wondering how deep Russia is digging for frontline soldiers.

      I don’t think we can ignore the context of him being not-Russian. That makes him entirely expendable, moreso than the (fairly expendable) native conscripted Russians.

    Wow. How ignorant do you have to be to move to Russia to avoid your children being taught about acceptance and inclusion (LGBTQ+).

    But I doubt Fox News is picking up this story, so the people who need to hear this the most never will.
