A viral video featuring a thin Marine Corps drill instructor—compared by the hosts to actor Elliot Page—shows recruits being encouraged to report mistreatment. The hosts contrast this "social justice warrior" approach with traditional military discipline and the "drink from the hose" mentality of previous generations.

An ex-member of the "woke left" describes the movement as having cult-like characteristics, including the discouragement of questioning and the isolation of members from dissenting views.

NPR and MSNBC commentators have intensified their rhetoric against unvaccinated Americans, specifically targeting Republican-leaning communities.

The House has passed the "Racial and Economic Equity Act," a bill sponsored by Maxine Waters that would amend the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The bill seeks to expand the Fed's mandate to include the elimination of racial and ethnic disparities in employment, income, and credit access. Critics argue this would saddle the central bank with social justice responsibilities, potentially setting the stage for a central bank digital currency.

The term "frontline communities" is being used by organizations like EcoTrust to describe low-income neighborhoods and communities of color most affected by climate change.

A producer in Detroit shares an "equity and inclusion" survey sent to parents of first graders.
