nobody really @nobodyreally.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Fear not, Americans will continue to learn about the world from the CIA, it's what the US media is for. Though for real I got to ask, you really think there is like a different benevolent CIA than the one doing all the torture and nazi stuff? 000

Buckleup36 @buckleup36.bsky.social · 05/02/2026The CIA World Factbook was widely used by U.S. businesses who export, have overseas distributors or have or are considering a local foreign office or operation. It was also widely used by teachers and students. Why shut it down?

Maty 🇨🇦 @matts1967.bsky.social · 05/02/2026It was such a valuable resource for teaching World Issues Geography. Trump and his MAGA people know the price of everything and the value of nothing 000
