I understand there are groups that have set themselves the task of actively preserving all the science and histories and archives and data that the current admin is trying to erase in the name of rewriting the American story in their supremacist image. These preservation task forces are storing the records they rescue for posterity on servers abroad, in countries like Canada. One should also not underestimate the cultural and generational resiliency of oral storytelling traditions. All this to say, I refuse to despair.
Awhile back I read that the internet archive had stopped working. I'm glad someone else is picking up the task. Now that non-white men are being erased, it's good to know we'll exist in the ether.
