Before conservatives appropriated "wokeness" as a political pejorative for things that give white people the heebie jeebies, Black people used the term to describe a state of social consciousness necessary to resist white supremacy.

Either way, it also describes Jesse Jackson.

Criticizing your president at the Olympics is un-American
Tweeting a racist picture of a president is not
The Super Bowl "belongs to America"
An American singing in his native language is Un-American

Confused?

Trump was mentioned 38,000 in the Epstein files...

But after 1600 pardons
91 felony indictments
34 convictions
12 jurors finding him liable for rape
2 ICE shootings
1 insurrection
& a pandemic in a pear tree...

What could Trump possibly do that MAGA cultmembers won't excuse?

According to the rules set by award-winning expert Chris Cillizza, the following ppl are now eliminated from being considered journalists:

Ida B. Wells (because of her anti-lynching "activism")
Frederick Douglass (bc of his "partisan" views on slavery)
And, now, Don Lemon
