When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.
Why Do Historians Still Have To Go To Archives?
Why do historians go to archives? Hasn’t everything already been digitized?

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

In 2002, Jewish Women Watching sent over 3,000 Jewish community leaders a condom affixed to a postcard telling them to be careful about who they're getting in bed with.

Very suspicious timing between the false claims being made, leading to a devaluation of the brand, back peddling on those false claims, followed by a quick purchase at the lower price. Smells a lot like collusion and market manipulation.
Tylenol, Kleenex, Band-Aid and more put under one roof in $48.7 billion consumer brands deal
Kimberly-Clark is buying Tylenol maker Kenvue in an approximately $48.7 billion cash-and-stock deal, creating a massive consumer health goods company.

With only a few days to go, this is still my favorite video from Zohran Mamdani's campaign, because it is such a great blend of platform points, informational comedy and genuine heart: youtu.be/-VEuPsobr3Q?...

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

Great column by Philly's own @willbunch.bsky.social
The 7 million Americans who took the streets for 'No Kings' made history, and they did something even more important
They got under the skin of Donald Trump and his dictatorial regime, on a day that showed that most Americans love democracy instead

I know they're loud now, but this is what they have ALWAYS been able to do! If you have no guaranteed right to a trial, to prove/disprove anything they're saying, you can be abducted for any reason & held indefinitely!
They had ppl over 7 years w/o trial by the time Obama got in office.

ICE can arrest anyone at any time for any reason and detain them however long they feel like. This is the official stance of the U.S. government.
Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.
As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.
