Email leaked to Ken Klippenstein telling NOAA employees that their course material can’t contain ANY of the following words in order to remain complaint with Trump’s executive order on DEI.

The party than ran on freedom and speech and avoiding censorship now actively censoring people.

Every word breaks my heart… but I want to pause on the inclusion of “empathy”.

The fact that they can’t use the word empathy is a perfect encapsulation of this whole administration.

I guess they are _handicapped_ now, when they don't have the _ability_ to use _binary_ formats for the data they work with.

And there it goes, the land of the free. Censored and cancelled by those who were spraying all their hate telling this was free speech.

And the worst ... Members of the.most vulnerable groups have the least chance to make it out of there. I'm German, I learned a lot about our history. And this smells like 1933.

@loran_hayden @alice Those are great but that sort of stuff requires me to work there or be in such a location some how.

Basically, read the document first and note the cautions and contexts. And realize one major context is the doc is from ww2 before universal surveillance. So to go back to your sponges, how do you do that in a 5th circuit courthouse where you are under video surveillance the whole time and messing with cameras gets you noticed faster?

@loran_hayden @alice Of course. But be cognisent that such actions don't make sense for most of us since we do not live in a ww2 context of occupied Europe with military checkpoints, massed troop movements, and generalized war footing. We live in a peacetime economy and most of what we are surrounded by is our community's materials.

Unless you are saying to go after trumpers.

@loran_hayden @alice We're not in a civil war, yet. At worst you could say this is prewar. If it was a civil war we would see the fellow travelers (proud boys, etc) doing their own purges en mass in my 1/3 Hispanic city, where mixed race marriges/relationships are common, where people proudly fly the pride flag.

That is all still there, we are not in the cvil war, again I say yet.

Be ready to do all this but we are not there quite yet.

@InkySchwartz If you want to believe that, I'm not stopping you. But I don't play with the /s tag except maybe on Reddit. If you can't figure out when I'm being sarcastic then what I wrote wasn't made for you. I know Poe's law is running at 120% over rated maximum but I'm not watering down jack shit on this feed. If you don't like it, you should know about mute or block.
