Erick Erickson breaks down Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s first big TV interview in two years—a soft sit-down with ABC’s Jonathan Karl—and argues “Woke 2.0” is just the old defund-the-police, abolish-ICE agenda with the honesty stripped out. He closes on the new FIRE college free speech rankings, where 166 of 257 schools earn an F, with Barnard finishing dead last. AOC’s Jonathan Karl interview: “Woke 2.0,” the dodged defund-the-police question, abolish ICE, open borders, and boys in girls’ sports and locker rooms. Brian Kemp reopened Georgia first: The Atlantic’s “human sacrifice” story, Anthony Fauci, Ron DeSantis, Stacey Abrams, and Georgia’s fast economic recovery. FIRE’s 2026 college free speech rankings: Claremont McKenna, Purdue, and the University of Chicago on top, Barnard last, Hassan Piker canceled at the University of Washington, and Samford, Mercer, and the coming enrollment cliff.
