There’s almost nothing that Bari Weiss’ Free Press can’t blame on “wokeness.” A white woman who called a 5-year old black boy the n-word has been flooded with well over $700,000 in donations from white nationalists and other monsters? Blame the “woke left.” Right-wing conspiracy queen Candace Owen is cheering on still-convicted-rapist Harvey Weinstein? Blame the “vigilante[s]” of #MeToo.

Liz Bruenig is an odd duck. Though ostensibly a leftist, the Atlantic columnist is famous for pushing reactionary views disguised as progressive common sense. She has a remarkable ability to make the worst ideas sound innocuous, writing so blandly and “civilly” that readers may not even be aware of what she is doing. She is famously against abortion. In the past, as Jude Doyle notes in an excellent takedown of all things Liz Bruenig, she has suggested that “gay people might still be acceptable in the eyes of God if they stayed celibate” and “that crisis pregnancy centers — fake abortion clinics that promise “help” with unwanted pregnancy, then terrorize patients into promising they won’t get an abortion — could end poverty.”
The white shooter painted swastikas on his guns and left behind several racist manifestos; he apparently intended to kill students at the historically black Edward Waters University but was chased away by security and went to a Dollar General store instead.

In many ways, Kimbrady Carriker seems to be the very model of a modern mass shooter. The suspect in a gun rampage in Philadelphia that left four men and a teen boy dead, Carricker was reportedly carrying an AR-15-style assault rifle and wearing a bulletproof vest. On his now-deleted Facebook account, Vice notes, “he posted repeatedly about his second amendment rights, his pro-gun stance, his support for former president Donald Trump, and his disdain for President Joe Biden.” A Tucker Carlson fan, he also posted ominous passages from scripture, turning them into threats.

The “get woke, go broke” crowd has egg on its face again, with Disney’s new live-action The Little Mermaid raking in a cool $117 million at the domestic box office and another $68 million internationally over the Memorial Day weekend. The anti-woke haters, you may recall, were outraged that a black actress, Halle Bailey, took on the titular role, and had convinced themselves that the film would be a colossal flop.

Noelle Dunphy, the ex-business development director for repellent political operative Rudy Giuliani, is spilling some seriously hot tea. According to a lawsuit she just filed against him, Giuliani’s job requirements were a little, er, unconventional, with the frequently drunk MAGA lawyer insisting on sex-on-demand and forcing her to wear scanty clothes while working out of his apartment with him. She’s seeking a cool $10 million in damages.
