We need to be "WOKE" - in the TRUE sense of the word. Back in the 30s it was coined as the word for the phrase "stay woke", by the African-American community. It was their way of saying "STAY AWAKE, BE AWARE OF WHAT IS AROUND YOU!" Now the GOP uses it to call out anything they don't like!

Woke has many meanings, all good and the term should be embraced and not runaway from…🤷

Interesting that its origin is in black culture… maybe racism is a big reason MAGAs hate the word?

By accident I've been using it like in the 30's. I don't want to walk through this mess asleep! Think we should all use it proudly, that we're AWAKE! Thanks for the history on this!

The way this administration has stolen the word woke shows they don't even know what the word means.
