If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

The spine and cover of a book. The spine (left) has four images of people: Jim Beckwourth, Sacajawea, Ovando Hollister, and Polly Bemis, separated by colored lines. With the title and author in white. The cover includes the title in white (The Westerners: Myth-Making and Belonging on the American Frontier) above and the author name (Megan Kate Nelson) below. The image is in mossy greens, with mountains in the background and a river or lake in the foreground, with a group of women navigating it on a raft.

"THE WESTERNERS" COVER REVEAL, including the spine!

Both show how my new history of the 19th-c American West puts readers on the ground in this vast region with several fascinating individuals (four of them pictured here), all of whom put the lie to the frontier myth.

It is insane, joe rogan. But you were warned repeatedly, yet you helped get him elected and helped let this happen. It’s good that you’re speaking up, but please be honest with yourself about the role you played here.

β€œ1984” isn’t just dystopian fictionβ€”it’s a chilling warning. Orwell wasn’t predicting the future; he was diagnosing the present: mass surveillance, truth control, and thought manipulation.
πŸ“˜ Big Brother is watching you.
