MODERATORS
Fortunately for everyone, they had to define "woke" during a court case.
So there we have it. Recognizing the flaws in the justice system is woke.
If they actually have that level of self-awareness, which I doubt they all do, then we should just reclaim the term. As in, “Yeah, I’m woke. Fuck you”.
That's what it used to mean until DeSantis and his ilk intentionally abused the term to mean anything they don't like from the left.

For all their faults lawyers tend to speak the truth when they get into court. The risk of losing their profession is all too real.
