The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

The campaign against trans rights is also about stripping away everyone’s protections against discrimination, reviving, as Douglass put it “the moral blindness” of those who “persuade themselves that they are safe, though the rights of others may be struck down.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

These mfers tried this once in 2017 and they are trying again. This is disastrous for higher education and graduate students in this country. I can't believe they want to increase the tax burden of students who make below federal poverty line to fund for tax cuts for the rich. @costasamaras.com

The hard truth about the consequences of the #ClimateCrisis — wildfires, floods, storms, droughts, heat waves and more — won’t come from climate activists who are too easily ignored or even vilified. It will come from central banks. And insurance companies. And every rational evidence-based sector.

I can’t think of a better way to honor Jimmy Carter than donating to Habitat for Humanity. He and Rosalynn first began volunteering with the nonprofit in 1984 — 3 years after leaving the White House. They volunteered every year until 2020, eventually helping to build and repair 4,390 Habitat homes.

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

I can't imagine the thought process and moral gymnastics that justify removing cancer research funding for children so that, down the road, taxes can be cut for the wealthiest people in the world.

Truth. Thirty years ago I interviewed some Holocaust survivors. I heard them tell me the same thing. Stanley Milgram showed the academic world how easy it was to get people to treat others horribly. Later, Philip Zimbardo did the same thing.

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
