A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

The cruelest lies are often told in silence. A man may have sat in a room for hours and not opened his teeth, and yet come out of that room a disloyal friend or a vile calumniator.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1879-05), “The Truth of Intercourse,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 39

#EPA #lies #liars #lying

"The US federal agency tasked with protecting the environment has edited a section from its website about how human activity drives the climate crisis, media outlets have reported.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tweaked its pages to focus on the 'natural processes' driving climate crisis - like volcano eruptions and variation in solar activity - in October, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

A webpage titled 'Causes of Climate Change' and another that tracks global warming impacts in the US were also altered, the New York Times reported.

And a page describing rising seas and shrinking Arctic ice - both key indicators of a changing climate - was also deleted, the Post reported.

President Donald Trump regularly rails against wind power and sustainable energy, calling for more drilling on US lands, and has slashed research and development to track and mitigate the effects of the climate crisis."

A quotation from George Orwell

I know it is the fashion to say that most of recorded history is lies anyway. I am willing to believe that history is for the most part inaccurate and biased, but what is peculiar to our own age is the abandonment of the idea that history could be truthfully written.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1942-08), “Looking Back on the Spanish War, ch. 4, Such, Such Were the Joys, essay 8 (1953)

It's on the backs of all those #republicans who actively supported and provided cover for the #fraud, #lying, #violence, #racism, #sexism, #insurrection, #brutality, #hate and #antiscience #ignorance that's dripping from every orifice of this #fascist 'administration'

And it's also on the backs of every #gop member who Remained Silent.

Today's #Republican Party is directly responsible for permanently #damaging America and the entire #planet. It's not just #Trump. It is the #GOP.

Ever since the 1960s, it's been the Republicans to blame. They get worse with every decade.

No video? Never happened. ICE and DHS have been lying from the beginning of the Trump term.

I can’t find video of the supposed shooting. I’ve tried.
