Love this: "The Forbidden Words Quilt, led by Lorraine Woodruff-Long and Patricia Hickey, is a community quilt project launched in August 2025 and completed in 2026 with contributions from 195 quilters from all 50 U.S. states and D.C. and 5 countries. The quilt features 384 words and phrases identified by #PENAmerica.org [@penamerica] that are among the growing list of words being scrubbed from government websites and documents and flagged for review by federal agencies."

For the 50th year in a row, a group of linguists chose 10 English words that need to be banned

The #NaziDon Administration gave #Headstart a 6 page list of #BannedWords they are PROHIBITED from using when filing for Federal Funding. 🤦♂️
Look at this list. They aren't "swear words" or overtly sexual. They're banning words like "activism", "black", "Native American", "climate crisis", "systemic" & "trauma".
(I'll post the 6 page list below.)

After the #Trump administration is revealed to have a list of #BannedWords used for #censorship, I think we can a safely assume it's an emerging #dictatorship, not a #FlawedDemocracy.

As the #OrangeHitler Administration orders gov't #websites to "#scrub 27 #BannedWords" from all websites......I'd like to remind everyone that the job of "Winston Smith" in the novel "1984" was to remove words from the English #language.
The People were told it was to "streamline" language, but in fact, it was a means of CONTROL, b/c when people lack the words to express themselves, they are easier to control. #Fascism #FascistInChief

"Straight white men are seen through the MAGA worldview as the default human and thus wouldn’t be suspicious and in need of a review. Any other type of identity is inherently suspect." https://gizmodo.com/the-list-of-trumps-forbidden-words-that-will-get-your-paper-flagged-at-nsf-2000559661
