Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer.

Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

Learn. Contribute. Be joyful. Resist.
I keep seeing people be like “I’m useless. I have no skills. How can I help?”

So I made a list of skills to learn so we can start pulling labor away from the capitalists and into our own communities.

Remember, she lifts her lamp above a door, not a wall . . .

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

A stunning moment from MLK Jr’s speech to the American Psychological Association Sept 1967. He anti-war, anti-capitalist, was beaten and imprisoned, spied on, assassinated. Never ever let them distort his radical legacy or how the majority of America was opposed to him.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
