The deletions began shortly after #Trump took office. #CDC web pages on #vaccines, #HIV prevention, & #ReproductiveHealth went missing. Findings on #BirdFlu transmission vanished minutes after they appeared. The #Census Bureau’s public repository went offline, then returned w/o certain directories of geographic info. The #DOJ expunged the #Jan6th #insurrection from its site, & whitehouse.gov took down an explainer page about the #Constitution.

The New Yorker · The Volunteer Data Hoarders Resisting Trump’s PurgeBy Julian Lucas

From the convicted #felon who blamed the Capitol police for the #Jan6th violence, coming now to #CorporateMedia outlets near you: a new breathtaking special of unabashed lying, blaming #Ukraine for getting invaded by Russia. #Corporate #media is as usual focused on their profit margins and enabling the #oligarchy that its owners want, so they will faithfully repeat the lies enough times to give them the ring of familiarity.

What's at stake when the government erases the historical record, and tells its people that the things they saw didn't happen?

' [This] push to whitewash recent history carries a disconcerting echo of countless autocratic regimes, [such as] the Chinese Communist Party’s memory-holing of the Tiananmen Square massacre ... It comes at the same time as the administration is also seeking to whitewash the teaching of American history ... '

Yet another #Jan6th #criminal that #Trump pardoned: this one was driving on the wrong side of a highway at double the legal blood alcohol limit when she hit another car. The driver of the other car was killed and passenger injured.

Thankfully this criminal pardoned by Trump is going to prison for 10 years for killing a person while drunk driving.

NPR just came out with this story about several other #Jan6th criminals who have illustrious #criminal careers spanning "rape, sexual abuse of a minor, domestic violence, manslaughter, production of child sexual abuse material and drug trafficking."

These are the criminals that #Trump released to our streets because they are his criminals. And the #GOP is the party of criminals and pedophiles who go along with that.

When #Trump pardoned the mob that attacked the Capitol on #Jan6th, he freed criminals who assaulted the police. Turns out at least one of them also solicited a minor for sex. He was out on a $20,000 bail for a third-degree felony charge when he decided to attack the US Capitol.

Il Douche and his team did not even do enough diligence to check this before pardoning him. The #GOP is not the party of law and order, it is the party of crime and pedophilia.
