This is what they used to do in the Soviet Union.

The erasure of the Jan. 6 records comes while the administration is also seeking to whitewash the teaching of U.S. history, threatening to withhold funds from schools that teach about America’s troubled history of racial and gender discrimination.

The Ministry of Truth. The memory hole.

Of course they did this. In just surprised it took them so long to do this.

Good thing that Trump does not know what a book is. Millions of us have collected same on just what went down from 2016 on to make sure history is preserved. What an idiot. People: preserve whatever documentation you may have on this. It may save the future.

The Soviet proverb is, "The future is certain, but the past is unpredictable." A propagandist can choose what future story they will tell, but that means they have to keep changing the past to fit with the ever changing new narratives. They knew the power and peril of revisionism better than anyone.

The brownshirts now understand that there will be no repercussions for their violence. That was the intended message of Trump's actions.

if we don't learn we are destined to repeat our mistakes.

Moot point because when they destroy the Dept. of Education, they're already going to withhold money.

This Is where the culture of oral storytelling from non-white groups is very powerful.

mgobrandon.bsky.social•12 days ago

In the Soviet Union, they started with a populace that was accustomed to being beaten down by authoritative rule. We're born & live free. We have much more to lose and much more to fight for.

I know that the penny thingy a sensitive subject, but comparatively the penny thingy is just another distraction. It's a big deal, but minor in the scope of everything else. Critical thinking is needed now. Keep your eyes on the prize.

Brings to mind Tiananmen Square.

Why erase such a beautiful pleasant day, with people casually strolling thru our nation’s great legislature, taking photos, shitting on the floors, etc.

Why?

grifro74.bsky.social•13 days ago

Hopefully all the information being erased is backed up somewhere to be restored when we have a legitimate government again.

amybean62.bsky.social•13 days ago

We cannot let this happen! Fight for our Dept our education and don’t let Christian nationalists win.

They can't erase You Tube

Exactly. The Russians love to tell everybody about how they are so anti-Nazi. Especially since their history books omit the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.

Isn't this what they accused the House Jan 6th investigators of doing? It is always projection.

masitax.bsky.social•13 days ago

But they can't silence oral history. Especially from a grandmother, who is a former teacher, a digital editor for a major publisher, and a badass historian. 😎

Hitler trying to burn down the Reichstag ... OOPS!

Oaths of office mean nothing anymore

butterfielda.bsky.social•13 days ago

Perhaps in current times, The internet has too much legacy information to erase history.

doomscroll.bsky.social•13 days ago

Exactly this. There’s acres of text, hours of video. The government can’t hide this one.
