What is "woke"?

[Winehole23]

the wokest shit ever is Donald Trump threatening to withhold federal money for schools and universities who don't teach US history how he likes.

literal state ideology, top down direction of the content of pedagogy, with robust prior restraint of expression and viewpoint.

for the right, woke is a pejorative catchall. the vagueness is the point.

anything emanating from the general direction of "the libs" that happens to annoy them, fits the mold.

the purpose of doing this is to provide a legalistic rationale for rolling up the civil rights and voting rights of the 1960s as well as those of the 1860s.

"it's all woke."

"the only extant racism is racism against white people, to be punished to the full extent of the law by the US government"

the USG using its might and prestige to relitigate 20th century civil rights law and 19th century Reconstruction law (14A) in favor of the losers is a historic turn: for a long time, racism has not needed the explicit support and power of the US government, merely its acquiescence.

*John Brown's Body*

the paramilitary action is mostly on the right now


In early March 1860, Abraham Lincoln (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln) spoke in Hartford, Connecticut (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartford,_Connecticut), against the spread of slavery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_the_United_States) and for the right of workers to strike (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_action). Five store clerks that belonged to the Wide Awakes decided to join a parade for Lincoln, who delighted in the torchlight escort back to his hotel provided for him after his speech.[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Awakes#cite_note-Courant-3) Over the ensuing weeks, the Lincoln campaign made plans to develop Wide Awakes throughout the country and to use them to spearhead large voter registration drives, since they knew that new and young voters tended to embrace similarly new and young parties.[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Awakes#cite_note-Audacious-4)
Members of the Wide Awakes were described by The New York Times (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times) as "young men of character and energy, earnest in their Republican convictions and enthusiastic in prosecuting the canvass on which we have entered."[5] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Awakes#cite_note-5) In Chicago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago), on October 3, 1860, 10,000 Wide Awakes marched in a three-mile procession. The story on that rally occupied eight columns of the Chicago Tribune (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Tribune). In Indiana (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana), one historian reported:

1860 was the most colorful in the memory of the Hoosier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoosier) electorate. “Speeches, day and night, torch-light processions, and all kinds of noise and confusion are the go, with all parties,” commented the “independent” Indianapolis Locomotive. Congressman Julian too was impressed by the “contrivance and spectacular display” which prevailed in the current canvass. Each party took unusual pains to mobilize its followers in disciplined political clubs, but the most remarkable of these were the Lincoln “Rail Maulers” and “Wide Awakes,” whose organizations extended throughout the state. Clad in gaudy uniforms the members of these quasi-military bands participated in all Republican demonstrations. The “Wide Awakes” in particular were well drilled and served as political police in escorting party speakers and in preserving order at public meetings. Party emulation made every political rally the occasion for carefully arranged parades through banner-bedecked streets, torchlight processions, elaborate floats and transparencies, blaring bands, and fireworks.[6] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Awakes#cite_note-6)
By the middle of the 1860 campaign, Republicans bragged that they had Wide Awake chapters in every county of every northern (free (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_states_and_free_states)) state.[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Awakes#cite_note-Audacious-4) On the day of Lincoln's election as president, Wide Awakes had grown to 500,000 members. The group remained active for several decades.[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Awakes#cite_note-Courant-3)

Staff at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spent Thursday figuring out how to comply with a memo sent out to federal agencies from the Office of Personnel Management demanding an end to anything that promotes “gender ideology.” The agency is planning to scrub CDC materials of forbidden wordshttps://gizmodo.com/cdc-ordered-to-scrub-website-of-words-like-transgender-and-lgbt-2000557177

Trump administration is so woke it's speaking from both sides of its mouth on Black History Month


The Trump White House issued a proclamation Friday recognizing February as Black History Month around the same time the Defense Department issued guidance declaring “identity months dead.”

The conflicting messages came as President Donald Trump (https://apnews.com/hub/donald-trump) has been targeting diversity, equity and inclusion (https://apnews.com/hub/diversity-equity-and-inclusion) programs for removal in the first weeks of his administration. He has referred to DEI initiatives as “discrimination” and insisted that the country must instead move toward a merit-based society.

The White House proclamation calls for “public officials, educators, librarians, and all the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities,” though there is no elaboration on what constitutes “appropriate.”

A news release from the Defense Department titled “Identity Months Dead at DOD” says official resources, including working hours, will no longer be used to mark cultural awareness months. Black History Month, Women’s History Month and National Disability Employment Awareness Month were among the events listed as now barred.

"patriotic education" is state ideology and censorship

"protecting women" is gender ideology and censorship

[Winehole23]

for example, the mass retraction of CDC research manuscripts to scrub "forbidden words"


The CDC has instructed its scientists to retract or pause the publication of any research manuscript being considered by any medical or scientific journal, not merely its own internal periodicals, Inside Medicine has learned. The move aims to ensure that no “forbidden terms” appear in the work. The policy includes manuscripts that are in the revision stages at journal (but not officially accepted) and those already accepted for publication but not yet live.


In the order, CDC researchers were instructed to remove references to or mentions of a list of forbidden terms: “Gender, transgender, pregnant person, pregnant people, LGBT, transsexual, non-binary, nonbinary, assigned male at birth, assigned female at birth, biologically male, biologically female,” according to an email sent to CDC employees (see below).”
https://insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-news-cdc-orders-mass-retraction

[Winehole23]

The policy goes beyond the previously reported (https://insidemedicine.substack.com/p/uganda-confirms-a-new-ebola-outbreak) pause of the CDC’s own publications, including Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), which has seen two issues go unreleased since January 16, marking the first publication gap of any kind in approximately 60 years.


The edict applies to both any previously submitted manuscript under consideration and those accepted but not yet published. For example, if CDC scientists previously submitted a manuscript to The New England Journal of Medicine, The Journal of the American Medical Association, or any other publication, the article must be stopped and reviewed. (These are hypothetical, but are examples of major journals where CDC officials often publish.)

The data being deleted runs the gamut from LGBTQ+ health (https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/risk-factors/diabetes-risk-lgbtq.html) to the causes of HIV (https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/causes/index.html), all apparently in compliance with executive orders issued by President Donald Trump on his first day in office opposing gender diversity and ordering agencies (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/) to “remove all statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications, or other internal and external messages that promote or otherwise inculcate gender ideology.”

free speech rights for teenagers?

how utterly woke, yet another L for Paxton


It is far from clear that Texas has a compelling interest in preventing minors’ access to every
single category of information listed above,” Pitman wrote. “Many interests are not compelling, such as regulating content that might advocate for the deregulation of drugs (potentially ‘promoting’ ‘substance abuse’) or defending the morality of physician-assisted suicide (likely ‘promoting’ ‘suicide’).”


He also cited the Supreme Court’s opinion in the 1975 case Erznoznik v. Jacksonville, where it found that “speech that is neither obscene as to youths nor subject to some other legitimate proscription cannot be suppressed solely to protect the young from ideas or images that a legislative body thinks unsuitable for them.”


“In its attempt to block children from accessing harmful content, Texas also prohibits minors from participating in the democratic exchange of views online,” Pitman wrote. “Even accepting that Texas only wishes to prohibit the most harmful pieces of content, a state cannot pick and choose which categories of protected speech it wishes to block teenagers from discussing online.”

because of a political ideology, Sec. Hegseth is ditching black engineers


The Army (https://www.military.com/army) and other service branches are abandoning recruiting (https://www.military.com/join-armed-forces) efforts at a prestigious Black engineering event this week, turning down access to a key pool of highly qualified potential applicants amid President Donald Trump's purge of diversity initiatives in the military.https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/02/10/military-drops-recruiting-efforts-prestigious-black-engineering-awards-event.html

[Winehole23]

because they are "too racial"?


The Navy, Air Force (https://www.military.com/air-force) and Space Force (https://www.military.com/space-force) are also pulling out of the event and forbidding officials from attending in an official capacity or in uniform. It was unclear Monday whether the Marines were still participating.

[Winehole23]

Much of Hegseth's diversity rollback had centered on bureaucratic changes, such as replacing references to "gender" with "sex" in policy language and scrapping the heritage month observances, including Black History Month.

But some officials now see the move away from recruiting events as a deliberate step to reduce outreach to Black applicants.

The move also comes after the Army Band canceled a concert at George Mason University in Virginia, where it was set to play music by Janelle Monáe, a Black singer and rapper.

you know what is woke?

when nouns have genders

rooting out DEI with brute force censorship of naughty words is blockheaded


A grant to study linguistic differences between Hebrew and English was flagged as an example of “woke DEI grants” in a new database released by Sen. Ted Cruz.


The database is part of ongoing Republican efforts to justify significant cuts to federal research funding and diversity programs under President Donald Trump.


The $226,000 grant, given by the National Science Foundation to the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2022, was flagged by the Texas Republican senator’s team as having an inappropriate focus on “gender.”
But according to the description of the research in Cruz’s own database, the sole mention of gender in the grant’s description is in reference to the fact that the Hebrew language (like many) assigns gender to nouns.

In letters to the editor published in the Financial Times (https://www.ft.com/content/f49cfc3b-ce6f-460a-8901-c6857b998de5) and the Los Angeles Times (https://www.latimes.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/story/2025-02-13/our-father-helped-create-target-its-rollback-of-dei-programs-is-a-betrayal), Anne and Lucy Dayton said their father, Bruce Dayton, believed in clear principles of happy customers and strong communities.

"We are alarmed how quickly the business community has given in to the current administration's retaliatory threats," they wrote. "It is not 'illegal' for a company to create a business model based on what it believes to be important ethical and business standards."

Disease Information

Summary

46,XX testicular disorder of sex development is a condition in which a person with two X chromosomes (which is normally found in females) has a male appearance. More specifically, people with this condition have male external genitalia, ranging from normal to ambiguous. Other common signs and symptoms include small testes, gynecomastia, infertility due to azoospermia (lack of sperm), and health problems related to low testosterone. Less often, affected people may experience abnormalities such as undescended testes and hypospadias. Gender role and gender identity are normally reported as male. This condition may occur if the SRY gene (which is usually found on the Y chromosome) is misplaced onto the X chromosome. This generally occurs to do an abnormal exchange of genetic material between chromosomes (a translocation). Less commonly, the condition may be due to copy number variants or rearrangements in or around the SOX9 or SOX3 gene. In some affected people, the underlying cause is unknown. In most cases, the condition occurs sporadically in people with no family history of the condition.

HF 274 was introduced by Helena Hayes (IA District 88). The bill would erase protections that public libraries and educational institutions have related to “obscene” materials. The bill would also restrict where and how minors could access the public library. As the obscenity laws are written now, minors are permitted to attend any event at a public library or public school, as well as access any materials available therein. HF 274 would kick open the door of barring anyone under the age of 18 from utilizing the library or its materials were it believed so-called “obscene” material were available.https://bookriot.com/iowa-rushes-advances-librarian-criminalization-bill/

They said in a court filing (https://assets.bwbx.io/documents/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/rsOvw5SxTq_4/v0) that the US Department of Transportation had exceeded its authority and abused its discretion.

not comparable to mass partisan purges, nullifying appropriations, censoring and criminalizing core functions of government

True, but you opened the door, you struck the mold.

Now? Get the fuck out of the way, OR, stand down AGAIN.

Trump's solution to woke?

Censorship and resegregation of public service


PEN America, one of America’s largest non-profits dedicated to protecting free expression in literature and beyond, warns that the current barrage of book bans and the growing traction of the movement is dangerously reminiscent of authoritarian regimes throughout history.



“What we’re seeing right now mirrors elements of different historical periods, but this has never all happened at once,” Jonathan Friedman, Sy Syms managing director for US free expression programs at PEN America, said.


“That is what makes this moment so unprecedented,” he added. “We are seeing multiple levels of law, of political officials from local school boards to the federal government all trying to exert new ideological control to censor what can be taught in schools.”

malicious compliance ftw


During Friday’s Wyoming Senate Agriculture, State and Public Lands & Water Resources committee meeting, Britt Boril joined the meeting via video (https://www.tiktok.com/@wy.hippie.lpc/video/7473666093874302254?lang=en) and addressed French as “Madam Chairman.” When French told Boril to call him “Mister Chairman,” Boril responded that she “cannot be compelled to use” his preferred pronouns.

“I prefer to be called Chairman French,” French said. “That’s my preferred pronoun.”

“I know, and you all voted that preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech in SF77,” Boril said. “Anyway, my name is Britt Boril...”
