An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

Among other reasons, censorship is bad because a lot of these terms are used multiple ways. “Confirmation bias” is the most common logical fallacy, for example - I’d like the folks at NSA to be particularly attuned to it.

This is the list of 27 banned words distributed to NSA staff:

A thread for all my American pals that you might not want to read, but this is pretty much how it will play out for you.
America!
The exact same Think Tanks and money behind Trump were behind Brexit. Literally the same people.
Simply put, everything in the UK now costs 3 or 4 times as much, billions were stolen and everything not nailed down was given to the 1%.
Buckle up.
It's an intentional economic crash.

Sampdoria's Ebenezer Akinsanmiro was subjected to racist abuse and monkey chants at Brescia last weekend. The game was stopped. An announcement was made on the PA. Then Samp scored. This is what he did.
The referee gave him a yellow card, and the Brescia coach accused him of 'incitement'.
