Why people donβt demand data privacy β even as governments and corporations collect more personal information
How people talk about data privacy can overcome β or reinforce β their skepticism that things can change.

Both NYT and WaPo took the same dishonest approach: skip how it was done without Congress or public feedback, skip how it's funded illegally with private money, then also dodge the merits of the Epstein ballroom itself by framing the issue around the strawman 'can the White House ever be renovated?'

Fascism does not break normal life, it feeds on it.
"History has already shown us how this story unfolds. Fascism is not built only in the camps and cells. It is built in the shrug, the silence, the insistence that life can go on as if nothing has changed"

It wasn't fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech β an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube β to rail against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade.
