Both ‘libel’ & ‘slander’ refer to defamation and are often confused for each other.
‘Libel’ is a written/published statement.
'L' for 'letters.'
‘Slander’ is for spoken.
'S' for 'spoken.'
‘Label’ & ‘slender’ are different words and are rarely confused for each other.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…
“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social
Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

" ... men don't follow titles, they follow courage. Now our people know you. Noble, and common, they respect you. And if you would just lead them to freedom, they'd follow you. And so would I."
