The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

"No, there's no fucking way
That anything's going to change
It depends on you and you know
We can protest until death, they won't listen
Don't shit back and think it will happen
They won't give up what they have robbed
Stand up and resist"

Our research university leaders are totally failing us in the authoritarian moment. Not even trying to loudly & publicly defend the project of academia or the institutions. Just choosing a combination of “keep our heads down” & anticipatory compliance. Shamefully inadequate to the moment.
Penn has always wanted to be the nation's leading university and it finally is -- in chickenshit cowardice

Penn scrubs diversity initiatives from its website to comply with Trump order
“The bottom line is this is not a time for anticipatory obedience when it comes to the university’s commitment to end antiracism and non-discrimination,” said Amy Offner, Penn's AAUP chapter president

How long until the Library of Congress faces a purge? Should historians be getting what resources they can now? I'm imagining anything related to the civil rights movement, anti-fascism, and even public health could be gone soon.

On this day in 1965, incredibly, or perhaps not, Spacemen 3's Jason Pierce (aka J. Spaceman) and Peter Kember (aka Sonic Boom) were both born in the same hospital in Rugby, Warwickshire.
