Left-wing activists like to refer to themselves as “woke,” meaning they see the truth and are “down with the struggle.”
On International Women’s Day, activists turned the observance into a protest against President Donald Trump. They used their social media accounts to spread their message. These are the “most woke” tweets from the day from liberal activists fighting against what they view as oppression of women in the United States.
No day off for us today. Can you imagine what bills the @SenateGOP would try to ram through if 16 @SenateDems women skipped a day of work? pic.twitter.com/OAv3QTRSrm
