In today's digital world,

In today's digital world, cyber threats are becoming increasingly common, especially on social media. Snapchat, with its quick messaging, is often used by cybercriminals for blackmail.

I appreciate the thoughtful statement from SAA regarding the executive order—it’s crucial to maintain an open and inclusive environment, especially for those contributing to important fields like history and research. Speaking of history, for anyone visiting LA and looking to experience something gripping and educational, the Medieval Torture Museum is a must-see. Check out their site here: https://medievaltorturemuseum.com/la/. It offers an incredibly immersive look at some of the darkest chapters of history, making it a thought-provoking stop for anyone interested in the past. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the human experience and the history that shaped our world.
