SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT

On March 31, 2025, one of the most trusted historians in America watched her own words disappear from the internet. Heather Cox Richardson confirmed that two of her Facebook posts were no longer visible — not just to her followers, but to herself and her husband.

“Hi Folks: my two posts from last night have disappeared for many of us, including me and Buddy, but appear to be here for others. I’m trying to figure it out but if anyone has any ideas, do let me know in the comments. Eager to see if this post shows up.”

Then, in a follow-up:

“OK, this is now gone for me, as well.”

Not flagged. Not disputed. Not taken down with explanation. Just gone — silently, and without warning. This is what erasure looks like in the age of algorithmic control.

USERS CONFIRM THE SILENCE

Across the platform, her readers confirmed what she feared: the posts were no longer on her wall:

“Seeing this but no other posts, not even on your wall.”

“No posts after March 26. Gone.”

“I can’t see anything on her page past March 26.”

The rhythm of her voice — so consistent, so reliable — had been broken. Not by choice. Not by glitch. By force.

Heather Cox Richardson’s reply?

“Oh, this is SO not good….”

THE POSTS THAT VANISHED

One of the missing posts dealt with allegations that senior members of Donald Trump’s administration had discussed military strikes on Yemen over unsecured channels. It was already spreading fast — more than 130,000 likes, 60,000 shares — before it disappeared.

That matters. Because this is not a celebrity being muted. This is a historian documenting power. And that history — our history — is now being selectively hidden.

This isn’t content moderation. This is strategic memory loss.

HER MESSAGE: GET OFF FACEBOOK

Richardson, sounding the alarm as best she could, urged readers to escape the platform altogether:

“Please remember you can get these letters from Substack at Letters from an American, and can sign up to get them by email there, too. No paywall, and all free.”

Her Substack:

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

If Facebook can make the voice of a presidential historian vanish — not just from your feed, but from her own timeline — then what else is being filtered? What else is being buried? What else are we being kept from seeing?

This isn’t about one post. This is about the infrastructure of truth itself.

And the scariest part?

There will be no notification when history is deleted.

Only silence.

He was in the country legally, as a permanent resident.

They expelled him not for anything he did, but for HIS BELIEFS.

Brilliant how prescient this comic remains (The Patron Saint of Engineers!) in this day and age.

I told one of my technicians one day that I was going to have to run him through a xerox machine. Then I worked that Sunday afternoon on top of all of the other overtime that week.

She married Russel Brand. Her circus should've ended there.

She performed at Biden and Charles' inauguration, picked the wrong president and wrong monarch 😂

I have to say as a former state employee that I never voted for that blow hard. Someone who talks about term limits and bloated state government but at the end of this term will have been in statewide office for 24 years. Someone put one of his campaign signs in my front yard once. I tossed it out in the street. I could go into a lot of details of his hypocrisy but I want to keep my blood pressure under control. I will predict that he is positioning himself to run for the US Senate.

If you would like another potentially illegal action of his , read this article.

Sorry you have him for a governor there man, he sounds like a weapons-grade jackass.
