From Mirriam Webster
The new sense of 'woke' is gaining popularity

What to Know
Woke is now defined in this dictionary as “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice),” and identified as U.S. slang. It originated in African American English and gained more widespread use beginning in 2014 as part of the Black Lives Matter movement. By the end of that same decade it was also being applied by some as a general pejorative for anyone who is or appears to be politically left-leaning.

1. Listening to

Wisconsin Rep Mark Pocan on Hartman now.
He was asked about GQP Congress addressing the looming shut down, and their entire focus this week is finding ways to end WOKE.
Fucking WOKE week!!!
There should be no way we lose congress to these clowns.
And in senate, JD skipped the IVF vote yesterday.
Only two, Murkowski and the “Trump learned his lesson” rep Collins voted for it.
Yet Trump just ranted about saving IVF and fully funding it through Congress.
This election should be as big a blowout as Tennessee had last Saturday. (If we all had a brain)

2. Alternating weeks. This week is the catchall WOKE week

Next week will codify and control other people's sex and gender week, then climate hoax week, then criminal immigrants week, then undo the New Deal week.
Maybe some week, the GOP Congress will sneak in an infrastructure, health care, or budget week.

Naahh, who am I kidding?

4. Exactly

Nothing for the people, just skits to wrangle the dumbest among us to re-elect them.
While hating those dark people.

3. Well calling someone a communist became outdated

Though Trump thinks it is 1983 and anyone under 50 acknowledges the slur.

5. How about a gun safety and common sense week? Two attempts, both with AK's n not a peep about guns

Plus the assaults on our citizens just in so many days…don’t we count?
