At SFgate, a report of the purging of the history of the Blackfeet people at Glacier National Park contains this nugget (emphasis added);
Methinks an edit is called for and that this phrasing more accurately describes what’s going on here:
- They want to “restore truth and sanity to American history” as long as the truth does not “disparage white, racist Americans past or living.”
The Rule of Lawless Meets a Notion of Immigrants 0
The EFF reports that the Trump maladministration wants to track those who disagree with its tactics. A snippet:
These subpoenas are unlawful, and the government knows it. When a handful of users challenged a few of them in court with the help of ACLU affiliates in Northern California and Pennsylvania, DHS withdrew them rather than waiting for a decision.
