XOR cleartext once with a key you get ciphertext. XOR the ciphertext with the same key you get the original cleartext. At its core this is the way the old DES cipher works.

A bit of useful trivia: If you XOR any number with itself, you get all zeros. You can see this in practice when an assembly programmer XOR's a register with itself to clear it out.

We should hit pause on the satire. This coming week could be our last chance to remove these impostors before Trump gets the go-ahead on declaring martial law by manufacturing a border crisis. The report on whether or not he can use the insurrection act is due on Apr. 20.

Yes, satire is a good way to keep our sanity, but now is not a time for sanity. We need zero distractions. We need to fully face our enemies.

It is time to get mad as hell.

They have so much more to lose than we do, and they are proving that they deserve to lose it.
