We have a president who insists on taking us back to a day without science, and perhaps into a future of oppression. Here is a list of words his administration has banned the Centers for Disease Control from using in future budget proposals:
Similarly, our Florida governor, Rick Scott, has forbidden the use of the term “climate change” among members of our state government, as if banning words could make the reality behind them go away.
So, let’s also ban these words:
Murder
Injustice
Poverty
Hunger
Abuse
Disease
Misogyny
There. That should do it. Pesky words.
Seriously, who bans words? Oh, we all know the answer to that. I’m sure North Korea has a long list of words that are illegal to use. Trump’s friend, Putin most likely has a tablet filled with words his people aren’t allowed to utter in public.
Can we panic now? Or will panic be banned, as well?
Peace, people. Please don’t ban peace.

An old piece of satire from the great Randy Newman. I think Mr Trump may miss the satire and perhaps claim this song as his own! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqBrw3rQvKo

I’ve been pretty horrified lately, in the most literal sense of the word. Just horrified about all this. Where the checks and balances are I have no clue. Trying to have faith 😔

Same here. Even in the Bush II years, I still had a basic feeling of trust in the government. Not anymore, though.

I know! I didn’t always agree with his policies, but I wasn’t in fear of our democratic process going down the tubes.
