It's time once again for my annual
#treebybike
post. This is the December 19, 1942 cover of The New Yorker, so one full year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This would be the first real Christmas alone, or without a family member, for millions. Gas and tire rationing had begun that year. #biketooter

Facing rationing, feds had promoted the idea of controlled production and distribution of adult bicycles to fill in for lost automobility.

Utterly shameful behaviour at the US National Archives as anything remotely confronting to white Americans seems to be being purged from the public national record. Whitewashing history is a shockingly regressive step.

To clarify this, we're talking public display and education. As far as I know, they're not removing items from the archives themselves, although if Trump wins that level of cultural vandalism wouldn't surprise me.
