I like social media very much, but I do not at all like the aspect where it turns into a laser cannon that shoots out the highly refined and coherent byproducts of people's clinical depression

The Right to Truth: Protecting Indian Residential School Records
In less than one year, the largest archive of survivor testimony on residential schools is set to be destroyed by order of the Supreme Court of Canada. In the context of rising residential school denialism, this Yellowhead Fire, in collaboration with the Indian Residential School Records Project, is an important conversation at a critical juncture.

I’ll add to this that a big part of why Biden’s approach failed is because he tapped Title IX administrators to lead the effort, instead of survivors and their advocates. He picked the betrayers instead of the betrayed.

Sadly this didn't go very well for our side, partly due to conflicts with the pro-Cuba rally happening at the same time. Our numbers were way too scarce and we were unable to stop the fash from marching. We are working on trying to get the word out and get our numbers up for next time.

Despite Cromwell's dictatorship and the Restoration, the English Civil War/Revolution was still a good thing, because it established the principle that the King rules only by the consent of Parliament, as proven in arms in 1688. I don't know whether the Russian Revolution will be vindicated.

Despite the guillotine, the Terror, the wars, the Empire, and the Restoration, the French Revolution was still a good thing - it kept getting reborn in 1830, 1848, 1871, and one could argue 1946 and 1968. "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" march on despite the crimes and blunders of their promoters.

Worth noting that there are a number of historical pivot points in which leaders were unwilling or unable to end a deeply unpopular war, even after a more conservative regime which began it was ousted, because they feared it would make them look weak in the eyes of the populace.
