A good illustration of the utter incompetence of the wholly unqualified partisan hack who—absurdly, inexplicably—runs the National Archives on a day-to-day basis.
Also: a "Freedom Plane"?? While firing federal employees, and with decades-long FOIA backlogs?
Seriously, Jimmy?

Too long, apparently.
I ask this every now and then and I’ve yet to get a good answer.
How long does it take for people to realize they’re on the wrong side of history?

Revisiting this — still true:
I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.

A sleep trance

A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible

Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Nothing is invincible
