Leaked Memo Reveals Insane Ban on Words Agriculture Department Can Say
cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/60051791
A leaked memo from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Research Service division revealed Sunday that the agency has banned some key language from its vocabulary, including the words “climate” and “vulnerable,” as well as the phrase “safe drinking water.”
Other baffling entries on the memo’s banned language list are “greenhouse gas emissions,” “methane emissions,” “sustainable construction,” “solar energy,” and “geothermal,” as well as “nuclear energy,” “diesel,” “affordable housing,” “prefabricated housing,” “runoff,” “microplastics,” “water pollution,” “soil pollution,” “groundwater pollution,” “sediment remediation,” “water collection,” “water treatment,” “rural water,” and “clean water,” among dozens of others.
Where's the line, Americans? I know this has been talked about for months now but they're banning words, erasing people's identities, dragging people from their houses for saying genocide is bad, imprisoning innocent people in foreign prison camps. Anyone wanna actually do something or are you waiting for a specific trigger?
Too many are just too comfortable for there to be any taking up of actual arms. The younger generations may not care enough yet, and if hit especially hard, may be too apathetic to do anything. It’s going to take a lot more than what we’ve seen so far for them to do anything… which by the time that rolls around, may be laughably too late.
We’re waiting til they make the first move and inevitably enact martial law. No one wants to be the reason/scape goat to take the bait.
Why would they need to enact martial law? They're already doing the things.
There is some suggestion that Trump may declare martial law on April 20th, which is when Hegseth and Noem's advisory committee is due to recommend to Trump whether he should invoke the Insurrection Act. Coincidentally, perhaps, it is also Adolf Hitler's birthday (perhaps one reason for Elon Musk's fondness for 420 references).

Just a reminder since this seems relevant: The abuser's Waiting Game includes consistently rescheduling plans.
Hey this was bad, but wait a few weeks and then something really bad happens. You just wait Then all the others around you will finally see.
From someone who's been around for a few years: No this specific bad thing will not happen. No those around you won't see for themselves.
I saw a billboard about April 5 being ‘day of action’ that had him on it. Is that anything relevant or-?
We don't all have the same tipping point. Some of us thought violence was necessary before he was even elected. And those were more rightward leaning folks. I think violence is inevitable at this point. But no one wants to be the first to jump in front of the train.
And too many of us are still thinking this is a political war rather than a class war. Things are going to have to get much worse before they get better. That's a truism going way back.
At the start of the presidency, I determined that my personal Rubicon was "Rounding up trans people into camps" (prompted by this video). I expected outrageous deportations, monstrous as they are. But after the line is crossed, I won't just be protesting.
This is double-plus-ungood.
Can't even say clean water? Guess we need to water our crops with sewage than.
Brawndo.
The obvious choice is Brawndo (R) - its got what plants crave!
Sorry to burst your bubble but there is quite a bit of sewage on crop action
"Please only drink clean sewage."
A new leadership that was going to remove big government and stop telling people what they can or can't do
In America, that’s the only kind of people acknowledged.
Why can't they just use them anyway? Like, who the fuck cares, there's no rule of law anymore anyway.
Not having the rule of law means you can get black bagged for disobedience.
So, what words are allowed? Are there any agricultural terms left for the agriculture department to use?
Just need to find synonyms or some other coded language or simply spell it out. Work around these stupid rules.
It's fun and easy!
- clean drinking sewage
- carbon in-air-ification
- ultra-fine Barbie vitamins
- farts
- gay-o-thermal (not that it means the same as geothermal, it's just that it's not on the list & I would try to work it into my publications somehow)
Gonna unalive the poo-stink aqua
This headline is making my head hurt.
Depending on what your head hurts, reading the article can either help with it or aggravate it.
If your are confused by a combination of words you never thought about reading in one sentence, it helps of your read the article.
If your head just over the concept of a governement entity banning words that they feel are uncouth and may not be used, then reading the article and the list of banned words will only worsen your headache.
This is only "baffling" if you're a total fucking moron who hasn't been paying attention.
Where are all the freedom of speech nutjobs?
