The archive took the message down, y’all.

Just went to the #NationalArchives website, and the announcement shared below has been removed. It seems the question of whether historical research is a "legitimate business need" is moot, at least for now... www.archives.gov/college-park #Archives #NARA #ArchivesAreForEveryone #speccolls 🗃️📜

We all have a lot of questions about this. It seems to apply only to NARA II at College Park, as none of the many other NARA facilities have the same notice on their websites. Someone should ask Marco Rubio about it since he is the Acting Archivist and has nothing else going on right now.

Authoritarianism comes for the archives. (Whatever the proffered reason for this, NARA has always been understaffed and under-resourced. Nevertheless, archivists welcomed students and the public, along with scholars, which created incredible opportunities for learning.)

This is certainly terrible. I don’t want to downplay that. But you can’t stop history from being written. We’ll keep on doing what we’re doing. Historians of women, BIPOC, and lgbtq+ have long learned to read against the grain, find the voices, and uncover the stories.

this is some bullshit. the Supreme Court can say what it wants and Congress can play possum while the republic crumbles, but authority in this country comes from the people, and these are our documents they’re restricting us from, not their documents. We have the right to see and study what’s there.

We’ve been concentrating all our efforts on the erasure of digital history, but I’ve been worried about possible restrictions to actual archival material. It looks like this applies to visitors only so I’m assuming that historians don’t count but I’m unsure what “business” means.

What makes DMVs inconvenient sometimes is not the people who run it, but the people who use it. DMVs have done an amazing job trying to control the chaos.

CW: racism, dehumanization, child harm It's not that bizarre, it's a technocratic spin on the racist trope of Black (or Brown) people being "alligator bait". There is no shortage of racist cartoons about it. Y'all need to understand that we are dealing with bedrock American racism.

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.

Just randomly thinking of the press response to Biden’s “big fucking deal” hot mic after signing of the ACA by Obama.

I went out to check on my plants at 7am. Had to go back inside at 7:30 because I felt like I was going to pass out. It’s no joke out there, friends.
