Per George Lakoff's framing, never repeat the Administration lies. Repeating the lie/spin, even if to counter the statement, only further solidifies the concept in people’s psyches. Instead, only mention *that* they lie. Get right to the truth.

To help out, we’ve provided some handy “Say This, Not That” examples for discussing family border separations.

"Wells’s genius lay in her ability to flip the script, casting white Southern men as the lustful rapists of black women and the hypocritical murderers of innocent black men. Alone, she was not able to stop lynching. But with the help of other black women, she did put mob violence on the reform agenda and brought to light the r**e of black women."

A new memorial reminds us of how African-American women suffered.

- A young black man protected the public from a white man hell-bent on committing mass murder. In America, black men are all too often subjected to harassment, state-sponsored violence and racial profiling. By comparison, white men -- even when they are mass murderers or domestic terrorists -- are described by default as "nice" and "normal" people who are "lone wolves" or suffer from mental illness. Their crimes come as a surprise and not indicative of a broader "cultural problem" among the "white community."

James Shaw Jr. disarmed a mass shooter single-handed. Everything about that is a problem for Donald Trump

- "Incels" (involuntary celibates) are misogynists who are deeply suspicious and disparaging of women, whom they blame for denying them their right to sexual in*******se.

The man behind Monday’s rampage praised an online community of misogynists just minutes before killing 10 people, according to the authorities.

"Rather than fighting for every woman’s right to feel beautiful, I would like to see the return of a kind of feminism that tells women and girls everywhere that maybe it’s all right not to be pretty and perfectly well behaved. That maybe women who are plain, or large, or old, or differently abled, or who simply don’t give a damn what they look like because they’re too busy saving the world or rearranging their sock drawer, have as much right to take up space as anyone else.

I think if we want to take care of the next generation of girls we should reassure them that power, strength and character are more important than beauty and always will be, and that even if they aren’t thin and pretty, they are still worthy of respect. That feeling is the birthright of men everywhere. It’s about time we claimed it for ourselves." -Laurie Penny
