(Not The Bee) Fact: You’ll never be woke enough for the woke mob.
Let me show you an example:
A new lesbian bar in Portland shut down less than one week after opening its doors. The owners were accused of cultural appropriation and racism leading to employees demanding ownership of the business.

Ladies and gents—see, I’m allowed to write that because I don’t work for a woke organization—this is how the woke mob works.
It is not enough to be a lesbian bar in Portland—a bar which on opening night saw a line of “200 lesbians” “wrapped around the block” for a chance to get in. No, if you want to be a woke establishment, especially in Portland, you must do much more than simply open your doors to the alphabet community.
You must make sure you’re inclusive enough for trans folx and BIPOCS. You must get your art approved by the woke mob, just in case there’s something wrong with it. Hey, you never know, it may have been painted by a straight white man. And apparently, at a packed lesbian bar, you must take proper Covid measures, too.
Doc Marie’s, the Portland lesbian bar we’ve come to speak about today, forgot to do some of these things, and now they’re paying for their mistakes and apologizing to the woke mob.
🤣🤣🤣
One post from the employee Instagram page reads, in part:
The employees even demanded the owners relinquish their ownership and hand the business over to the workers. They gave them 24 hours.
So brave!
Well, needless to say, after five days—FIVE DAYS!—Doc Marie’s was forced to close their doors and reexamine what it means to be a woke organization.
Spoiler alert: They’re still closed and likely will remain so.
Here’s Doc Marie’s message to Portland’s Most Woke:
