Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, the media, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

Advertising for betting should go the same way as tobacco ads did. Gambling firms are very much the modern day peddlers of misery and exploitation that cigarette makers were, and should be treated as such.

Photograph of British servicemen in full panto drag, manning (or possibly daming) a naval gun overlooking the Channel. I'm pretty sure this was taken for propaganda purposes rather than a genuinely spontaneous event - the idea that normal, sometimes silly, life was going on despite (and *to spite*) the Nazis was an important message on the home front.
