"[A] democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - FDR (1938)

Back in June, I travelled to Ottawa to visit The Canadian War Museum's exhibition on the US Civil War entitled "Close to Conflict." Visitors learn how the war impacted Canada, and it provides clues to two ideas: Confederation & sovereignty. www.civilwarmonitor.com/close-to-con...

My pet peeve is if you roll your eyes at me, I'm done speaking with you. Possibly for good. I find that act to be so repugnant and dismissive that I cannot forget that it occurred.

More than 4 years on, Russia Today is still busy trying to deny the Bucha massacre, despite multiple investigations by human rights organisations, international bodies, and investigative journalists that showed Russia's responsibilities.

OTD in 2015, I started The Tattooed Historian from a small corner of the cubicle in the archives. And it's still going! It's all because people followed, shared, and showed up in live chats and at in-person events. So, Thank You for your support!

"Most conversations about the ethics of war footage have focused on who should watch it and how. This case suggests that we also need to ask who else is watching and what are they going to do with it." Read my first article for The Conversation now! theconversation.com/russian-team...

Russian team ‘misused’ Claude AI to train a killer drone on scraped Ukrainian war footage

Visual footage — even that created by journalists and civilians to document conflict and hold nations accountable — can now become raw material for weapons development.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

John Van Evrie spent four decades building a media empire on racism and pseudoscience, dressing white supremacy up in the language of medicine and statistics, and he did it well enough that the term "white supremacy" itself likely traces back to his output. www.youtube.com/live/TuEktmO...
