yes, Big Brother is watching you (…and way more intrusively than you think)
Musk has had young, inexperienced DOGE workers collect and combine medical, financial, employment history, and deeply personal data they’ve gotten from inside government agencies. They plan to create a massive, searchable database. None of these workers have Secret or Top Secret clearances but most of the data they’ve gathered is heavily classified and controlled

I was a school age kid when John F Kennedy was president. He encouraged kids to exercise, eat healthfully, and study science and math to prepare for the future. Now it’s amazing to see how quickly Trumpism is able to obliterate the good in American values.

Didja know that the US had a plan to invade Canada in 1930? I'd love to see that plan to see what the White House considered dangerous

I’m watching a docu on Watergate and all the familiar faces: Hunt, Olson, Liddy, Dean etc. Liddy was interviewed for the film while sitting in front of a large table full of shiny steel and brown objects.

Ummm, tools of the trade…?
G Gordon Liddy, a former Pres Nixon advisor, sitting in front of a large conference table that has lots of shiny objects on it… 6 or 7 guns and an old film camera. He was being interviewed for a documentary about the Watergate break-in.

Debunking myths and misinformation is difficult because people don’t like to be told their beliefs are wrong. This pdf booklet is very good at suggesting truthful statements to help anyone dealing with “fake news”

Obviously, the traditional ivy plant on the mantelpiece wasn’t to Trump’s liking. He’s happier with dictator-levels of gold opulence.

It’s difficult to believe that supposedly intelligent men have made insane plans to invade Canada before

This is not a Russian pleasure cruiser but one like it has been photographed by fishermen in the English Channel. We’re relearning how to ID ship and aircraft silhouettes from all our WWII survivors.

Yes, British newspapers are quite sophisticated and highly regarded when it comes to low-brow scuttlebutt…
