Especially stop with the acronym for Diversity, etc. I'm seeing it 100x per day and it cements The Big Lie into reality. They just won an election on 'tHeRe eAtInG tHe DaWgs.' Maga is using that acronym to blame women and brown people for everything bad everywhere. Using it makes it real. Full Stop.
First, I know mostly people have forgotten magic, but words are incredibly powerful and the words you choose and how they are deployed matters a lot and shapes the world.
Fight for our words, fight for our reality. When news organizations adjust and absorb what is truly "newspeak" they are building power for this fascist coup.
When you use their words, you give them power. When you use reality? You fight back. We already have the language, so use it. They use their nonsense to shift reality and build their in group for what will likely be violent insurrection. Refuse

Words are often those tenuous carriers of stories that hold together reality.
Especially in this moment when reality is truly diaphanous.
