As the Club Q mass shooting showed us, these are more dangerous times for some, and it's being fuels by dangerous speech. In this episode we take a look at what constitutes dangerous speech, how it's different than hate speech, and what we can do when we see and hear it. We use some recent exchanges from our social media accounts as examples. Links mentioned int he podcast below:
