The term “DEI” is being used as a cover to tear apart much of the federal government. It’s not that this language didn’t exist before, but it’s being weaponized now. Suddenly the cold, impersonal-sounding acronym DEI has replaced “diversity initiatives,” “civil rights,” “equal rights,” “fairness,” and “anti-discrimination” in everyday conversation. I would suggest that one small thing we can do is return to using those actual words. This week's comic:

in reply to Jen Sorensen • • •"They will distort the language, coin new terms and labels, repeat shocking phrases until you accept them as normal and subconsciously associate them with whom they like. A “thief”, “liar” or “traitor” will automatically mean the opposition, while a “patriot” or a “true American” will mean their follower. Their slogans will have double meaning, giving strength to their supporters and instilling angst in their opponents."

Hoping Veterans wake up about this.

in reply to Jen Sorensen • • •Yep, and if anyone uses DEI or woke as an insult you can cancel them forever.
Like the new Spiderman film whose lead actor said he made sure the script wasn't woke, before joining.
Fuck that bro. Cancel.
