Iβm back after a 3 day suspension for sharing a link to publicly available police reports exposing Blood Tribe nazis. They also removed the post. Bluesky evidently prioritizes the protection of literal, active nazis over community safety. Unfortunately for BT, theyβre already in the sunlight now :)
FFS, at this point I might even tell all my relatives they're not allowed to go to the US.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

Way to make me feel old!
In case you're wondering what "ππΊπΈπ₯" means, it's "We're going to keep abusing the USA until it's on fire"

Read about the new additions to the Data Rescue Tracker! Thank you so much to @icpsr.bsky.social, EDGI, and others for participating in this effort. If you are doing data rescue, please get in touch. We'd love to track where the data are going. www.datarescueproject.org/dr-tracker-d...
#Pubmed is unreachable from Melbourne, Australia, just now. But as noted upthread, EuropePMC is available, and the #SafeguardingResearch project has backup copies.

Are any users of NOAA data willing to share how potential loss might impact their work? We could use some for an event next week. Please share if you feel able: forms.gle/zvx2eoLLzKU5...

I will never not promote libraries, they are a vast public good and worth celebrating for themselves, and also they buy lots of books, which keeps a whole bunch of authors in the business. Please support them!
Good on you Ro β Kirsty and I have been looking for all the names we know/recognise.

Always! We are still definitionally in a Covid pandemic (according to the World Health Organization), and other airborne diseases like the flu are killing at extremely high rates. Masking up is essential! We protect each other <3 π·
One of my tools as a critic had been a Twitter list called, "Top Journalism Linkers." Designed so that I could survey the space. It was the first thing I read in the morning. When I left it had 6.8K users.
Over the weekend I rebuilt it for Bluesky. You can subscribe. bsky.app/profile/jayr...

New β The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

We just launched a 16TB archive of every dataset that has been available on data.gov since November. This will be updated day by day as new datasets appear. It can be freely copied, and we're sharing the code behind it to help others make their own archives of data they depend on.
Support local libraries. Weβre witnessing censorship on a massive scale. Digital scrubbing is modern day equivalent of book burning
Our ability to get accurate info about public health, science, history, LGBTQ & marginalized groups is under threat
Libraries will be critical part of the resistance

Second weekend in a row that I get a #GLAMR -adjacent sticker in the mail. This one's from #JohnnyDecimal who teaches us how to apply decimal-based #classification to our whole life.
Good to see that the #SafeguardingResearch (mostly fediverse) and @datarescue2025.bsky.social (mostly bsky) communities are in contact with each other πΎ
Is this how they're going to stop people from leaving the country?
Great typo, careless cash.
This is why I get multiple copies!
