John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz
It turns out, "Woke" is Republican-speak for anyone who gives a damn about other human beings or the planet; a dog-whistle slur against expressions of humanity that seek or to spread resources, opportunity, power, and a voice to more people.


To Republicans, Decency is “Woke”

The politics of fear is nothing new.
We’ve seen it throughout history.
It’s a well-worn playbook.
When you lack actual ideas, you need an enemy.
When you have nothing redemptive to offer, you have to create a monster to push back against.
When you are devoid of decency, you need to vilify it and somehow turn that decency into a threat.
That’s what we’re seeing right now in America.

Turn on any Fox News show monologue, read any Right-wing hack news outlet, visit any MAGA influencer’s TikTok page, or sample any Republican politician’s social media account and you’ll find their latest ubiquitous boogeyman: the “Woke Mob.”

They shoehorn the words into every televised conversation, every incendiary think piece, every pearl-clutching press conference—usually tethered to other recently-wielded phrases like “the Radical Left” and “cancel culture.” These repetitive, nonsensical word salads are designed to terrify their constituents, leverage fear in the easy-manipulated, and to misdirect them from the reality that they have no actual platform, outside of the opposition to progress, the resistance to diversity, the aversion to equity, and the evasion of justice.



It’s woke to want fair elections.
It’s woke to be anti-racist.
It’s woke to be anti-fascist.
It’s woke to trust Science.
It’s woke to wear a mask in a pandemic.
It’s woke to be the parent of a bullied child.
It’s woke to want to be addressed with the gender you identify with.
It’s woke to want a less-polluted community.

Anything that brings equity gets this label from the Right because inequity is its only goal.

DONALD RUMP'S FAVORITE CONDIMENT.

DONALD RUMP'S FAVORITE CONDIMENT. Has a baby temper tantrum throwing his lunch against the White House Walls.

I bet the cleaning staff could not get the Ketchup red stains off the walls and they had to paint before the Biden's moved in.

Anyone around here think Trump is evil .... as in Anti-Christ Evil ?

TRUMP on TAKING COMMUNION :

"When I drink MY LITTLE WINE, and eat MY LITTLE CRACKER" I guess that's a form of asking for forgiveness."

is HERSHEL WALKER MENTALLY ILL OR JUST DUMB.

Ron Filipkowski 🇺🇦 @RonFilipkowski

In an old interview, Herschel Walker explains why he didn’t think his Multiple Personality Disorder is a mental illness: “Do our Lord Jesus Christ have a mental illness because he said he’s the father, the son and the Holy Spirit? To me, those are 3 different personalities.”




this makes no sense. GOD DOES NOT HAVE MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES.

The NRA has no problem allowing our children to be killed. More guns is always the solution. The only place the NRA bans guns is at an NRA conference.

TWITTER JUST banned me --- they said i was ADVOCATING SELF HARM or Suicide

this is what i posted


Hey @TuckerCarlson .... go ahead and burn your testicles moron haven't you ever heard of skin cancer ???
Telling men to "Tan their Testicles" is BAD ADVICE. It's dangerous. People can DIE if they take your advice.
