From our political correspondent, Dorothy Dawe:
From the Washington Post: "The large color photograph that greets visitors to a National Archives exhibit celebrating the centennial of women’s suffrage shows a massive crowd filling Pennsylvania Avenue NW for the Women’s March on Jan. 21, 2017, the day after President Trump’s inauguration."
Take a closer look though.
"The Archives acknowledged in a statement this week that it made multiple alterations to the photo of the 2017 Women’s March showcased at the museum, blurring signs held by marchers that were critical of Trump" (the complete story is HERE).
Let. That. Sink. In.
The National Archives -- the agency of the United States government charged with the preservation and documentation of government and historical records -- altered photographs which were critical of Donald Trump.
I repeat: THE AGENCY CHARGED WITH PRESERVING HISTORICAL RECORDS ALTERED PHOTOGRAPHS WHICH WERE CRITICAL OF TRUMP.

All of this called to mind Emmett Lee Dickinson's now-classic poem "Yesterday is History" (below on the left). Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem with the same first line (below on the right).
| By Emmett Lee Dickinson: Yesterday is History, 'Tis a need to hide – Yesterday is Plain to see – 'Tis Falsified – Yesterday is mystery – Where is it Today While they shrewdly fabricate Gut the truth away | By Emily Dickinson: Yesterday is History, 'Tis so far away – Yesterday is Poetry – 'Tis Philosophy – Yesterday is mystery – Where it is Today While we shrewdly speculate Flutter both away |
Of course, the entire affair also called to mind this tweet:
