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.

So they’re not allowed to talk about reality, or how to make anything better. And the fascists in charge must know this is what they’re doing, but they don’t care.

I keep thinking of how the Buddha recognized three poisons of the mind: greed, hatred and ignorance. Right-wing politics is pure poison.

This shit is absolutely unreal…

So I guess we’re going back to actively speed running the ruination of our planet now.

I hope whatever takes over after us, if there is anything left, notes that humanity’s end came at the hands of a very small number of petty assholes who would rather try to kill all life on the planet than admit to being wrong about anything.

So… big brother has demanded they enact newspeak. Got it

“solar energy,” and “geothermal,” as well as “nuclear energy” are all banned.

From now on they are to be referred to as “sun coal” “volcanic coal” and “atom coal”
