Hereโ€™s a thought: what if it wasnโ€™t the DEI, but the fact that most organizations only adopted DEI as a messaging strategy and not as a policy strategy? Are we ready for that conversation?

If you're in New Orleans this Monday and Tuesday, come out to the Mahalia Jackson Theater for The Monarch Forum, a series of important, healing, community-driven conversations. Yours truly will be moderating an illustrious panel on Tuesday afternoon at 3:45 pm. Would love to see you!

Just listened to a LibBro podcast where the hosts described Stephen Millerโ€™s antics as โ€œfascist cosplay.โ€ So that explains a lot.

I wasnโ€™t sea lioning you. I was genuinely asking because, as I read those definitions, none of them are inherently nefarious.

no... words mean things.

Propaganda, by definition, is full of manipulation and deception. So calling a lie propaganda is actually accurate.

Can you share the definition youโ€™re using?

Then how do you define โ€œnarrativeโ€? Every story youโ€™ve ever read has a narrative, true or false

Please stop saying "narrative" when what you mean is "propaganda"
