"Woke" is their "shmoo". permalink fedilink source hideshow 14 child comments replies: [–] TheLadyAugust@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago (1 child) A DeSantis attorney already has.

If they have to describe it, it's minorities and women having equal opportunities. Saying woke makes them sound like less of an asshole to people not willing to go beyond surface level conversations. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JustZ@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* It's civil rights. From Britannica: Civil rights are an essential component of democracy. They’re guarantees of equal social opportunities and protection under the law, regardless of race, religion, or other characteristics. Examples are the rights to vote, to a fair trial, to government services, and to a public education. In contrast to civil liberties, which are freedoms secured by placing restraints on government, civil rights are secured by positive government action, often in the form of legislation. permalink fedilink source parent [–] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago Apparently the woke was what was keeping the planes functioning permalink fedilink source parent [–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) Woke is anyone who isn't them.
