🔪 Sharpen the context: the Epstein files include an email from the First Lady to Ghislaine Maxwell — “Nice story about JE in NY mag… Give me a call when you’re back in NY. Love, Melania.” Now labeled “casual.” That’s why the timing of today’s denial matters.

📢 If timing matters — this matters.
Archived statements don’t exist in a vacuum, and when leaders speak can be as revealing as what they say.
Worth sharing so others can decide for themselves. 🔁

An educational infographic titled "Introducing SIFT" illustrates Mike Caulfield’s framework for digital literacy: Stop, Investigate the source, Find better coverage, and Trace claims. Through cartoon illustrations, it emphasizes "lateral reading"—the practice of opening new tabs to verify a site's credibility—and uses a puppet metaphor to show how these skills prevent disinformation from "pulling your strings." Additional notes highlight the importance of media literacy for news and voting, suggesting Wikipedia as a research starting point.
