The US is deporting ILLEGAL criminals, not sending people to gas chambers. Anyone making this analogy is cheapening the actual holocaust and is a deplorable fuckhead.
With the start of tribalism, looking to belong. We lost our humanity. Chanting "We're number one", simply because a collection of professional athletes outlasted some other group, is a reason to celebrate? If you need to belong to some group, join a charity or volunteer organization.
Do some good.
May surprise you to learn no one from the period is alive anymore. May want to look up hypocrisy too. “You can’t call out racism because Southerners were Democrats” doesn’t prove I’m a hypocrite so much as it shows you’re stupid.
No it's not. Websites die or change all the time. None of the world wide web is permanent, it's in constant flux. That's why organisations like https://archive.org are crucial when it comes to preserving digital content.
#America ISN’T THE CENTRE OF THE KNOWN #UNIVERSE. The rest of the world not only maintains #history, but has a history dating back thousands of years, not just the last 250 or so.
Our history will be fine. We don’t need yours, and never have. #BlackSky
This is why when my local library was selling books, I grabbed as many historical books that I could, especially regarding WW2 and Civil Rights Movement
They think that’s a good thing though. Yesterday my brother literally defended hitler and commended him for burning books cuz he claimed that Jews invented transgenderism :/
Good morning, bluesky!! As an Eng.teach for 34 yrs I am so disheartened about what is happening in education, our libraries, museums. Erasing Harriet Tubman is insane!!! Along with the other things this govt is doing in educ.
The same goes for tearing down statues and monuments and renaming buildings and military bases along with mountains and national parks.
Anymore genius observations 🤔
Republicans are rewriting history to reflect their ideology. If you have history books, encyclopedias,newspaper clippings,any hard copy history info—hide them.
If America keeps going down this road the government will confiscate the info deeming it subversive or opposing Republican authoritarianism.
Eliminating half truths and outright fright falsehood is not scrubbing, it is restoring actual truth and facts rather than continuing “editorializing” and rewriting actual history. Democrats like rewriting actual history.
Nothing like pretending it didn't happen just because you don't want to deal with it or accept that maybe America isn't the great moral compass for the world that it keeps trying to pass itself off as.
In the digital age it's important to remember that taking down a web page has no more impact on history than taking down a statue. The history is still there, and it's recorded in many other places.
People are much more exploitable when they don't understand the entire context of things. However, this doesn't do us any favors in an interconnected world, where other countries will hear what people say, and judge the country for it.
Of course. But the way forward student will not know how to look up that history if they didn’t know it existed in the first place. Maybe, as a teacher, I should teach my students how to utilize the WBM.
Doesn't it though? If there's no record of it, and no one left who remembers it. Did it happen? Does it matter? I'm totally against erasing history, but I also understand why the forces of evil want to do it.
check out @knowledgeapp.bsky.social…they seem to building cool product on highlighting underrepresented narratives, the ones that’s didn’t even make it to the books.
Call the Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121) every day and ask: Why isn’t my Senator/Representative calling for impeachment? When the president tramples the law like a Nazi thug, the Congress’ job is to impeach. It’s in the Constitution.
They can scrub all they want. We know it happened and we shld find every way to continue teaching it, and since history has a way of repeating itself, we all know how this ends for them. We shall overcome!
Specifically, Trump & the criminal enterprise formerly known as the republican party. Handmaid's tale was written for Reagan administration. Ronnie & Donnie the twins of American destruction. When will Never Trumpers realize it started with Ronnie, he wasn't great, he was just like Donnie.
“We retracted the legislator rankings that we published for 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019 including a ranking of then-Senator Kamala Harris as the most liberal senator in 2019. A newer ranking that we published in 2021 says she was the leftmost Democratic senator.”
Far right had and is organazing many hatred cults around the world. Many of em funded atleast by Putins russia. Its somehow its working in many countries... Maybe kkk is alive and well and not so much in hiding
That's why I keep telling people there's parallels between the rise of the Third Reich and the Trump Administration. I suggest everyone here read about the rise of the Third Reich.
That is 1 of playbooks. T uses AH rhetoric word for word except replace word 'jew' for 'immigrant'. 2024, Orban went to maralogo 3x @ least (illegal-see Logan Act) to see T personally. T now doing what orban did to be dictator. Also using China & KGB playbooks. Autocracts use ea others methods.
Don't waste your time with this guy. He's one of those "I have Black friends so I can't be prejudice" twits. Just block & move on. It won't matter how many parallels you show him. He'll only see what he wants to see.
They’ve forgotten a very important rule of the internet. Nothing is gone completely or forever. Taking it off their websites literally only takes it off their websites. They aren’t getting rid of anything.
Trumpster the mob boss cult leader prolly planning on making new internet like Putin has and so on so he can read only good stories about him and only him no matter what he does.. 😬
Fragile white men with delusions of grandeur are paying *everyone* back for removing confederate statues from public places...oh, and questioning their genetic superiority...
Keep fighting those back by pushing the wins of the Tuskegee Airmen and promoting their museum; Jackie Robinson; Code Talkers. Push reality down their throats.

Mr Krasnov would say: its amazing cult such a beautiful cult where i am the leader the messiah the king of all that is and ever will be cos my daddy didn't love me im gonna make every love my by my amazing law just so beautiful law.
I have little to no reach. I need your help to spread this simple graphic around. It's damn important. The admin has said they will not comply with the courts and Garcia will stay imprisoned. If they get away with this they can disappear anyone they want. This effects YOU, ME and every one of us.
The ignorant, the stupid, these are the people who scrub websites of this information. It probably goes without saying that, no, they do not realize the two things are basically the same. Unfortunately they will only get stupider and they're bringing as much of the nation they can with them.
It’s another way to plant the seeds of how the US education has failed our young. The ignorant will always blame the current when they know nothing about their past.
Subscriptions..... don't forget most don't own physical books, movies or music. The stripping of choices in those subscriptions will be only of those approved by the regime.
Reminds me of that Star Trek episode where the people walked themselves into disintegration booths instead of bombs being dropped. Much cleaner, still bad.
Dreadful. And the far left trashes books too I’m sorry to say. To Kill a Mockingbird. Huckleberry Finn. So many others. Books that put the past in context. Even if you disagree, they should be there to disagree with!
Burning books is a threat for democracy. And if both opposye sides of the political spectrum do this, i’m sorry but both are wrong. Always choose democracy!
I will make an assumption, that by ‘this administration’, you mean the Trump administration.
Based on that assumption, you are grossly incorrect. I know many people who support ‘this administration’ that are voracious readers that seek multiple views with some writing stories and books themselves.
Indeed. It is a mistake or so much delusional reflexivity to declare the illiteracy of a group one does not favor or that seeks one’s harm. It is sobering to look at the clear eyed if morally/logically corrupt (imo) highly educated people enabling and justifying previously unconscionable actions.
Reading is connected to TRUTH, and even alternative truths! But reading is avoided because it involves thinking. Reading with comprehension requires work, thoughtfulness, discretion -
Qualities the red do not always value.
Um .. a reference is just that, a reference. When you burn books, you destroy an original source. No, pulling down a digital copy of an original source does nothing to destroy the original or any other archived primary source. That's not how historical erasure works.
The original source of a book isn't destroyed either (unless it's the only copy in existence & the ms is lost), but it's harder for people to access the content of books they can no longer find easily.
As a genealogist who works almost exclusively with primary sources and who is also a citizen transcriptionist for the Nat'l Archives, I can assure you, Americans don't need a tyrant to make them "forget".
There's a good deal they's already forgotten -- like why we fought a war to begin with: to free ourselves from people like Trump. The reality is, Trump has claimed for himself powers that not even King Charles has. Many of his EOs are, arguably, Bills of Attainder, which are forbidden.
Ok...fun game...list every administration in the last 50 years that has systematically gaslighted, banned books, and scrubbed websites. I'll give you a hint...
Those people would just as soon burn books but instead want to make it look like everyone was in on it from the authors to the publishers to the teachers to the students to the colleges that accept these students to the employers that hire these students. Like we all agreed to the changes.
I really hope someone is keeping tabs of every thing this REGIME is doing to whittle away at our Democracy because when they are ousted out of our lives, the successors will be real fawking heros when they put them all back! Books can be reprinted, & KKK dresses (that's what they are) can be burned
Remember when trump said that if he would run for president he would run as a republican because theyre stupid?
Yeah that video has been completely scrubbed from the internet and there are a bunch of news articles trying to gaslight people into believing it never even happened.
Except when the truth is already out there. I agree with what you argue, but it's my belief that the truth always gets out. ESPECIALLY now with social media, the internet, etc. The problem is what the person believes.
I agree, HOWEVER, deductive reasoning and the ability to critically think go a long way in minimizing effects of brainwashing. In some cases, like Karoline Levitt, it takes VERY LITTLE of either to see through the bullshit
Yeah, it isn't the same as in 1930's Germany.
I could go and make a webpage with proper historical info in under 10 minutes. Try printing a book in under 10, and try getting it published. Far harder to clamp down info now. Obfuscation is the best bet.
Is it too much of a stretch to imagine Zuckerberg developing AI which could rapidly scan and identify all facebook/instagram/gmail etc users who have posted or liked content disparaging the current US government. Likewise Musk with X?
This technology already exists. It’s how Twitter knows to limit visibility on certain posts the moment you post them, and it’s how a lot of bot and spam protection works too. It just needs to be given the specific parameters to look for.
The internet is a funny little place, when you think pictures of your pre gender affirming surgery are removed they pop up randomly and avoidably. Nothing once put on the internet is truly ever gone.
They're destroying our history, our successes, our culture, even the failures that we learned from. They're also destroying science and moving us backwards toward the feudalism many of them long for.
It’s all around in storage locations. They may be offline, but it’s all there. Disbelieve it if it makes you more comfy at night, but you’re incorrect.
Yeah, no. Maybe websites that sell off your data have storage banks of all your shit, but most websites don't hold onto that shit after they go down.
Like I wish that was true, but it's not the case.
Idk, I've just had whole communities I've been a part of vanish because the servers went down.
When an American president appears in a Hitler doc, a Cult leader doc and Mar a Lago is the scene of a sex assault by Jeff Epstein you know that the devil is in power.
It is so disrespectful to our true heroes. I pay taxes so my children can learn and have access to information about those who shaped and fought for my country. I don't appreciate trump and his followers trying to erase it. When Dems get back in there, please make laws to prevent this!

To King Joffrey! Long may he reign!!
If America keeps going down this road the government will confiscate the info deeming it subversive or opposing Republican authoritarianism.
I am not trying to bait, here's the situation I found myself in a few days ago:
I was watching a video by a YouTuber who reminded me a lot of someone I used to previously watch, but I forgot their name.
Google turned up zero results, and all LLMs told me that I was a horrible person for trying to find that information.
Should people have the power to scrub any info about themselves from the internet?
@johnvibes.bsky.social would you share this?
A nationwide general strike would shut down everything until we are represented: https://GeneralStrikeUS.com

That's the hilarious fact-of-the-matter 🙂

Sadly, the government does do this.

Well, isn't it ironic that his "interest" is only in those who spew falsehoods and lies?
I don't listen to or watch him BECAUSE of his "interests!"
Yeah that video has been completely scrubbed from the internet and there are a bunch of news articles trying to gaslight people into believing it never even happened.
who controls the future controls the present
war is peace
freedom is slavery
ignorance is strength
brainwashing works. if you repeat a lie long enough people will believe it
i do think they can't lock down information for everyone. but they might try.
there are rumors - speculation - that an internet shut down is coming. digital IDs req to access the WWW and tracking dissidents and resisters.
will hack it, then they and everyone else will get suddenly have an opinion and express it.
No-one wants to talk about it.
Like so many who had the job in Trump 1.0 era.
Jezus! Where do they find these people?
How can they live with themselves?
fiction is to numb and distract.
so much emotional manipulation.
all of it is meant to pacify people and keep them asleep.
tv watching has less brain activity than sleep.
Unfortunately it has been very effective.
"ignorance is strength"
trust the govt, they'll handle the stuff you can't understand. science is silly
americans read and write at an 8th grade level AT BEST. studies are showing as low as 4th grade.
we are literally the dumbest developed nation on earth.
and Maga thinks that's great
Frequency & repetition does the rest.
I could go and make a webpage with proper historical info in under 10 minutes. Try printing a book in under 10, and try getting it published. Far harder to clamp down info now. Obfuscation is the best bet.
Petty, vindictive, maniacal, psychotic and dangerous…
I HATE every magat.

i wish I could find those old forums that I used to message on as a kid, but they're gone. They don't exist anymore.
The internet isn't some unforgetting entity, it's just a network of computers.

They cannot erase our memory. Facts are facts.
