You may have noticed that most of the headlines right now revolve around President Trump and the Republicans. It’s almost as though the Democrats don’t exist.

That’s because they don’t. They have almost lost the will to resist, as you have Bernie Sanders and AOC taking private jets to large venues.

Democrats are struggling for what their message ought to be, so they have unleashed a new term.

It is “Dark Woke,” which is going to go about as well as “Dark Brandon” did.

Just a few years ago, at a NASCAR race, people started chanting “F*** Joe Biden” and a woman who was covering that race then suggested the crowd was actually chanting, “Let’s go, Brandon!”

Republicans started using the slogan “Let’s go Brandon” to imply “F*** Joe Biden.” And then the Biden administration, trying to seize the language back, put out memes of old Joe Biden with laser eyes calling him “Dark Brandon.” Or they put up memes of him with his sunglasses, grinning, and they called it “dark.”

It didn’t go well because he then physically died in the middle of the race and dropped out. In fact, it went very poorly.

So now they’re trying “dark” again. They think that just by adding the word “dark” to things, that makes it cool.

Dumb.

They’re obviously trying to copy the Elon Musk memery of “Dark MAGA.” And so now they have “dark woke.”

According to The New York Times, “There was a time last summer when the Democratic Party was cool.”

That was a really, really short period of time. (There was a point in time when I was significantly closer to weighing 150 pounds. It was a moment, and then it went away.)

The Times continued:

Kamala Harris had just stepped in as the Democratic Party’s nominee for president in the waning days of Brat summer. She went on the popular podcast “Call Her Daddy.” Tim Walz’s outdoorsy drip led to a Chappell Roan-inspired camo trucker hat. The mems were flowing, and the party’s mood was high.

You’ll recall that even by the end of Brat summer, it was pretty much over for Kamala Harris. The “Call Her Daddy” appearance was a giant failure and cost her a bunch of money.

Tim Walz was never a bro. Nobody ever saw Tim Walz as a bro, unless the bros were hanging out at a high school musical production using jazz hands.

But now, apparently, Democrats are in search of a new memery. The New York Times writes:

As liberals try to get their groove back, some party insiders say Democratic politicians have been encouraged to embrace a new form of combative rhetoric aimed at winning back voters who have responded to President Trump’s no-holds-barred version of politics. It’s an attempt to step outside the bounds of the political correctness that Republicans have accused Democrats of establishing. And it requires being crass but discerning, rude but only to a point. Online, it has a name: “Dark woke.”

“Republicans have essentially put Democrats in a respectability prison,” said Bhavik Lathia, a communications consultant and former digital director for the Wisconsin Democratic Party. “There is an extreme imbalance in strategy that allows Republicans to say stuff that really grabs voters’ attention, where we’re stuck saying boring pablum. I see this as a strategic shift within Democratic messaging — I’m a big fan of ‘dark woke.’”

What exactly is “dark woke?”

The Times again:

During a meeting of the House Oversight Committee last May, Representative Jasmine Crockett, Democrat of Texas, found herself in a spat with Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican of Georgia, after Ms. Greene made a jibe about “fake eyelashes” that the chair, Representative James Comer, Republican of Kentucky, declined to prosecute under the committee’s rules on decorum.

“Mr. Chair, a point of order,” Ms. Crockett said. “I’m just curious, just to better understand your ruling. If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blonde bad built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”

Ms. Crockett’s moment became a meme. It was printed on T-shirts. It got her an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel. And now, Democratic strategists say, it has become a perfect example of “dark woke.”

Democrats are very much in love with this sort of stuff.

And it ain’t gonna get them out of their morass.

Meta’s Oversight Board expressed indignation at the social media giant for its January policy overhaul that axed fact-checking and eased restrictions on discussions about immigration and gender identity.

The independent oversight board railed against the company for implementing the changes “hastily” with supposedly no transparency about “what, if any, prior human rights due diligence” was performed.

Zuckerberg acknowledged that previous content moderation efforts had resulted in “too many mistakes and too much censorship.”

President Trump had frequently criticized Facebook during his first term, culminating in his platform suspension following the January 6, 2021, Capitol events — a ban eventually lifted as he launched his successful 2024 campaign.

Since President Trump’s election to a second term, the Meta CEO has been working to mend fences and roll back a decade of content policies that prohibited “hate speech” and supposed misinformation that conservatives have long criticized as biased.

As part of the January policy overhaul, Meta scrapped its U.S. fact-checking program, replacing third-party partnerships with a Community Notes tool similar to Elon Musk’s X, per Reuters.

In addition, Meta removed restrictions on “hate speech” towards LGBT individuals, and also announced it would stop proactively scanning platforms for “less severe policy violations,” instead focusing its automated systems only on serious content like terrorism and child exploitation.

Among its 17 recommendations, the board requested that Meta improve enforcement of its bullying policies while clarifying which hateful ideologies remain banned.

The board expressed concern about potential impacts in countries experiencing conflicts, urging Meta to “assess whether the changes could have uneven consequences globally.”

Despite the success of Community Notes on X, the Oversight Board still requested that Meta assess the new tool’s effectiveness and release reports every six months.

Meta said it would respond to the board’s 17 recommendations within 60 days.

The board did uphold Meta’s decisions to allow some controversial content, including posts discussing transgender people’s access to bathrooms, while requiring the removal of posts with racist slurs.

A Meta told Reuters the company welcomed decisions “that leave up or restore content in the interest of promoting free expression,” but did not address rulings calling for content removal.

Despite tensions, Meta has so far committed to funding the Oversight Board through 2027, allocating at least $35 million annually over the next three years, placed in an Irrevocable Trust designed to protect the board’s independence.

Oversight Board Co-Chair Paolo Carozza stated, “We have no reason to think that Meta is soured on the board or planning to make any large-scale structural changes in terms of its commitment with the board.”
