In 1970, Ronald Reagan was running for reelection as governor of California. He had first won in 1966 with confrontational rhetoric toward the University of California public college system and executed confrontational policies when in office. In May 1970, Reagan had shut down all 28 UC and Cal State campuses in the midst of student protests against the Vietnam War and the U.S. bombing of Cambodia. On October 29, less than a week before the election, his education adviser Roger A. Freeman spoke at a press conference to defend him.

Freeman’s remarks were reported the next day in the San Francisco Chronicle under the headline “Professor Sees Peril in Education.” According to the Chronicle article, Freeman said, “We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. … That’s dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow [to go to college].”

A network of fake accounts spreading propaganda on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook&Co. has been found and shut down by the services.

Big chunks of the accounts belonged to the Trans-Regional Web Initiative of the US government, and their goal was to propagate Western narratives&propaganda in the Middle East and Central Asia, which was met with limited success there.

The fake accounts were exposed by the Standford University´in collaboration with Graphika.

The City of Jackon, MS will be without running water for an "undetermined" amount of time, potentially several days, after a main pump at the city's water treatment facility was damaged during major storm-related flooding. The water outage affects the entire city and is total, meaning no water for toilets or fire hydrants either. The state's governor is working on an emergency declaration over the issue.

So, a whole city's water system was shut down because there was too much water?
