  1. 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."

  6. 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.)

    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

  8. Here is a complete list of the “forbidden words” issued by America’s fascist dictatorship. This is why we must fight now and fight hard.
