Of course. Why would the US regime willingly permit Americans to know facts about the world?
The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!
This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

We’re fighting for at least a decade trying to find the moral character in the English 🏴 public.
we need to start by saying Farage and his supporters are 1930s style fascists.
Because we need to know who we are dealing with.
If you are not ready to accept this, you’re not ready for the fight.

The true question right now is whether you believe in the moral character of the British public. If you do, you'll want to have the fight with Reform. You'll believe that the public will hate the idea of breaking up families, spying on & deporting people who've worked here for years.

Over 100,000 people are marching through The Hague against Israel's war on Gaza.
Wearing red clothing and forming a line, they are demanding the government draw a red line in its stance against Israel.
It's the largest protest in the Netherlands in 20 years.
