Like a canary in a coal mine who sings so sweet, the silence is deafening when the little bird goes quiet. Wait, did the bird stop singing, wait, I can’t hear it anymore. Let’s not panic, but it’s time to get out of here.

Chicken Little ran round and round, screaming “the sky is falling, the sky is falling,”

but I’m not doing that, I’m just saying, “Don’t look up.”

DEI should have been DOA.

However loud-mouthed and theatrically sociopathic she may be, she's only gotten her 15 minutes of notoriety due to obnoxiously woke conduct, meaning she's essentially a nobody otherwise, and she may have figured such conduct could advance her standing in her particular milieu. That's no excuse, but it's a potential explanation, and the fact is such reasoning is not unfounded, sad though that is.
