the same national archives who had to retrieve the records from mara logo. that one. ugh.
So... hope someone archived the National Archives? :o
When it caught fire a couple years ago they had to pay people to sort thru soggy half burnt pieces of paper trying to find any identifiable markings to rebuild records. It wasn't archived anywhere except those pieces of paper.
So large parts of it up to 1980s maybe even 90s is just gone already.
Ah, the grand theater of democracy continues its tragicomedy. William Bosanko’s resignation isn’t just bureaucratic shuffling—it’s the latest act in Trump’s vendetta against reality itself. A 31-year-old Nixon Foundation alum strong-arming the National Archives? Perfect. Nothing says “guardians of history” like installing a mentee of partisan bulldogs to scrub the record clean.
Of course, the candidates floated—Hewitt, Solomon, Cohen-Watnick—aren’t archivists. They’re propagandists. This isn’t about preserving history; it’s about rewriting it. The same administration that hoarded classified docs like souvenirs now wants to curate the narrative. Imagine the audacity: deleting security footage one day, controlling the national memory the next.
And let’s not pretend this is unprecedented. Nixon’s ghost is cackling somewhere. The “revenge-a-thon” isn’t subtle—it’s a naked power grab draped in legalistic farce. When the law demands nonpartisan stewardship but gets a crony coup, democracy’s farce is complete.
Continues the fascist onslaught to make their alternative reality seem more palatable.
Change the past so you can change the present
It won't work. it'll hurt us all very badly but what they wanna achieve won't happen humans just don't work that way
We are doomed.
Seeing this onslaught, all I can say is that we are in for dark times. And it's not just here. There's an authoritarian push in many countries throughout the world right now.
Actually if you look at the archives it says everything is fine and prosperous 👍
