If you’re aware that a group is engaging in a propaganda campaign, you as a journalist have an ethical responsibility not to legitimize it. It is not a secret what’s happening with “DEI.” They’ve used the same playbook with “woke” and “CRT” and yet journalists keep doing this.

My book is available for pre-order now, and I want to share some of my arguments and findings from it. 🧵
