“History shows…” STOP RIGHT THERE. History is not some kind of Ted talker with a killer PowerPoint and one memorable anecdote. History is a *narrative*, a story created anew by every single human who attempts to make sense of the past. History is not born. History is made.
Working on my MKULTRA database with ChatGPT. I asked if it could join a thing for me across data silos and it declined. “I’m not like Palantir.” True story.

So I should finish this book about MKULTRA after all?
Cory Booker: "I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America."

Historians, crawling back into daylight from the depths of despair: "Did somebody somewhere ask for some wretched truth?"

MAGA’s spoon fed conspiracy theories and believe they’re gospel. Dems, confronted with unsavory American history dismiss facts as the stuff of conspiracy theories.

Many 1960’s resistance radicals who protested & exposed The System aged into right wing Russia-apologist Trump fanatics obsessed w/ dismantling The Deep State. It’s an unsavory personality type to be sure but they tend to know a lot about American history and foreign policy.
