‘Clean Water,’ ‘Equity,’ ‘Microplastics’ and Other Words Banned in Leaked USDA Memo
Agricultural Research Service sent out a list of 110 terms that can no longer be used
I remember the times when all online content had a list of search words so they would score higher in the search result. Still see a youtube video with this. Good for them they are trying to resurrect this trend, I miss it.

double posting because these photographed email printouts (!) are absolute gold:
Imagine being opposed to clean water. Death cultists, one and all.
We are so fucked.
"clean water"? So we'll refer to it as "water not full of shit"
lol, I’m at the point that I just can’t understand my fellow MAGA human who would think clean water is a bad thing anymore.
I just can’t even stoop to the level of holding a serious conversation with them anymore at all.
I never in my lifetime thought this country could turn such a complete 180 in such a short period of time and yet here we are.
We need to get those social media kids to start coming up with alternatives asap. They're good at that shit
Freedom juice, bootstrap subscriptions, and trickle down polymers
Trickledown polymers is incredible ngl
Another day another fascist idiot move hurting everyone
I'm so glad that most imported products in my country are no longer made in the USA. I'm not even a strong believer in the effectiveness of consumer boycotts, this is just a health consideration at this point.
It is long past overdue for torches and pitchforks.
It's time to break out the guillotines.
The protests start tomorrow. Big one is somehow 4/20(we live in a TV show). The only ones I can see them swaying are congress though so I guess we're all in on the House and Senate caving to protestors and a rapidly cratering economy... We're going to need a general strike.
Start tomorrow? They’ve been every damn day for months now. Tomorrow is a big one.
Let's replace them with "dirty water" "polluting plastics" and "preferred discrimination".
If nothing else, their sheer inability to understand reality would make it much easier to put Dogey America to sleep. Animals use language, however primitive, to warn of danger. Trumpkins fundamentally fails at this, and will start to die in record numbers when they eat RFK Burgers with rat diarrhea as the sauce.
Not even sure if I am kidding there. They are tearing down the institutions that protect everyone from everything.
Ok I had to do this. This quote is too awesome.
Its woke to drink anything but pisswater.
Het its my favorite videogame tie -in beer!
Let me tell you a little story about The Fenhalloway River. About a year before I moved to that area as a kid in the early 80's, some reporter came to report on it. Some locals assaulted her buy burning her with cigars and cigarettes, then pouring the river water into her burns.
I remember wandering some places with my step brother. One spot was along that river. The spot was out there, but still on a decently used dirt (sand) road. We got to the end and to an area we heard was a swimming hole. This was before we heard the river was badly polluted. It was littered with empty bullet casings, KKK signs and nazi symbols. We noped the fuck out of there quick.
While I lived there, at one point, the EPA provided everyone who wanted it with cases of bottled water. We lived close enough to see the sign over highway 19. A 30 second walk and I could just read it. Our well water stunk of the paper mill and you couldn't see the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket. The EPA water program lasted about a year. Then...nothing. The river wasn't any cleaner. It was still black coffee. Still smelled of satan's farts. I just now get the irony of living there and watching Captain Planet.
The mill shut down last year. It will probably take some time before the pollution from it will fade. Decades.
This has happened multiple times in the USA. There are so many Erin Brokovich type stories.
If something is causing so much environmental damage, do we need it?
Thankfully for that area, the plant closed last year. It wasn't profitable anymore. Unfortunately, it and logging are really the only game in that town. They took 2 direct hits from hurricanes in fairly quick succession as well. Keaton beach, Fl is only about a 45 min drive from Perry. Some potato chip company was talking about moving there, but it remains to be seen. If I were them, I wouldn't with the 2 direct hits. Too much risk.
I didn't know how gnarly paper mills were, that sucks
The entire town got filled with that sulfur smell a few times a day. When we first moved there, we were baffled about the smell. The locals all said; "smells like money." Even the other kids in school. I never got accustomed to it. It's a smell that will forever be stuck with me.
My God I can't ever comprehend how people can be so wrong
And like, a LOT of them too
At least when my dog hurts me they don't try to convince me it's for my own good too
Pollution remediation banned terms runoff, membrane filtration, microplastics, water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, groundwater pollution, pollution remediation, pollution abatement, sediment remediation, contaminants of environmental concern, CEC, PFAS, PFOA, PCB, nonpoint source pollution
What a massive gift to the worst people
I feel like at some point there will be so much banned that every government document is just going to be like caveman talk about how amazing petroleum and guns are
Gas good and drill good so money good too. All is good if gas is gas. Oil and gas and drilling is great. Guns for army man. Make America great again.
You mean Newspeak, don't you?
They could save a lot of ink by just saying the word pollution, but that's not the point
"Party Of Small Government"
This is fascism, by the way.
These people are so ridiculously evil. Banning the phrase clean water is insane.
Perhaps, but before you label something insane you compare it to all the words that the Biden - and even the Obama - administrations banned.
Oh, wait, there isn't a list of banned words from those administrations?
Microplastics are woke? Fellas, is accumulating microplastics in your balls gay?
Getting rid of microplastics is gay, retention is alpha
guns
God forbid someone mentions ”clean water”.
Yeah man. Nestle owns that word.
Please don't say the "N" word.
next we see Trump saying "Microplastics? I solved that too, it no longer exists folks. America is great!"
What's interesting is that other then three minor places reporting in this. Not even a comment from the democratic party. Nothing in major news publications. Nothing on CNN that I can find. Nothing on AP or NPR. I'm questioning if this is even real.
A lot of the time major publications won't print something like this unless it can be verified. They are probably trying to get confirmation it is real.
Gonna make it hard to talk about home REDACTED loans
Oh, but that’s ok, because you can always REDACTED using the REDACTED by speaking the REDACTED. That’s the best way to REDACTED REDACTED the REDACTED.
All I hear is the Nutshack theme
Oh man... i just completed my home microplastic loan application.
Hard to believe there are still people willing to pose for a photo with Elon.
It just takes one brave soul with a hidden weapon to pose next to him, and we can be on a better timeline.
I imagine fellow nazis would be quite proud to.
At this point we already know they have "frontotemporal dementia," so my question is at what point do we bar them from government positions because of known brain damage?
Maybe they already read the article, and that's why they hate science, knowledge and free speach so much? I think it goes way deeper then that though.
Hopefully if we come out of this alive we'll come together and finally do something about the things we already know, and I'm not talking final solution, I'm talking about banning people with known brain damage from office, then helping them with their known problems and possibly allowing them government positions again once recovered from this nazi disease.

Just putting this out there because these numbers give me hope that we still have a chance to move past this. Keep in mind that these are raw numbers that include everyone, including non-voters like children and felons. still makes me hopeful though.
Number of U.S. population 2025 = 347,276,000
Number of votes for Trump = 77,284,118
Number of people who didn't vote for Trump = 269,991.882
This translates close to 22.2543793% of the U.S. population voted for Donald Trump.
This also translates close to 77.7456207% of the U.S. population didn't vote for Donald Trump.
I was the one who did the calculations... sooo maybe check my work, it's been a long time since I had to deal with percentages, I think it's correct though.
Good luck, and stay safe out there.
If you want to work as a politician it should be required to take psychological evaluations. If you have narcissistic or psychopathic tendencies, you should be barred from that. I have no problems both a rule like that
While your point is valid in that a lot of people didn’t vote for Trump, you’re being slightly disingenuous here. Ok maybe that’s the wrong word since I don’t believe it’s malicious. But in my opinion the number of eligible voters, not the total number of US Residents is really what you should be comparing. And that number is more like 244,600,000. So while the number is still very high, it’s more like 68.4% didn’t vote for him.
I agree, those numbers are the complete population, (not only eligible voters) that's why I added the statement "Keep in mind that these are raw numbers that include everyone, including non-voters like children and felons."
In my lifetime I haven't known many people that would be considered left leaning that vote, yet I'm pretty sure everyone I've known who are conservative vote every chance they get.
I should also point out that my view comes from someone who only ever lived in vary conservative areas in the south. Hopefully this election will finally get the left out to vote more.
Plus ineligible and disenfranchised voters still have a voice and they still matter, hopefully many of them will use their voice as protests are dramatically on the rise now that people are starting to take a financial hit.
So with my experience (which is subjective) the voting numbers definitely don't represent the whole story because so many people don't vote and many more can't vote, so that is why the raw numbers give me some hope.
This is some truly 1984 double speak bullshit
DOGE would make a good Ministry of Efficiency.
Step 1 prevent agency from doing it's job
Step 2 shriek about how agency does nothing and must be dismantled
Land of the free
Landfill of the free
If you're not drinking Oligarch piss or raw sewage you're fucking woke
Fuck these guys, what time is the white house raid?
So, in other words, we will no longer be able to trust the USDA to safeguard our food supply and companies will be able to bastardize any and all foodstuffs without any kind of oversight whatsoever.
You can also forget about exporting those.
Yeah, the EU is already pretty wary of US agriculture goods. This is going to absolutely murder the farming export business in the US.
Paper bags for everyone's head! No more problems!
To be fair though the Democrats tried to stop dumb shitheads from pushing horse paste on Twitter during a pandemic, so no one's blameless in the censorship game.
(Please don't make me reply clarifying the intent of this statement.)
Is that fair? One follows scientific consensus and the other defies it.
taps the sign
Free speech still has limits and distributing false medical information should be restricted.
Genuine question because you absolutelyalready took the time out of your day to clarify the intent with your parenthetical at the end there: is this an ego thing? Like what is it about tone indicators like "/s" that you hate so deeply that you feel the need to go out of your way to create a bespoke, alternate tone indicator which was 10x longer and 100x whiny-er? Where did these feelings come from? Clearly you understand that they're needed, so why do you persist in this nonsense?
chill
I don't know why because I've never done it before today, but as I was about to post that I imagined someone taking it seriously and I was not in the mood to deal with that today so I cut it off proactively. And I've never liked /s.
Where was this taken? Wondering who owns those photos.
Rollins is pregnant with Musks baby.
What the absolute flying fuck…
