So question, is us history being saved and safeguarded by any1? Outside the government or the country or something?

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Better donate to Wikipedia!

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago

And the Internet Archive. Maybe get an extra drive for preservation.

It's being backed up, torrented, and seeded actually.

It is. It has already been written in books. It will continue to exist. They just know that the people they want to brainwash doesnt read books. So the general public will learn the fascist version, while historians and other book readers will read the actual thing. Until they burn the books and thr historians, then it will only be kept outside of the US.

There are far more local and state museums than federal, fortunately. This is still disgusting bullshit though, don't get me wrong.

They're scrubbing all government systems of DEI in the laziest and most reckless way possible with keywords

That's how this keeps happening

I fully expect any mention of black holes to disappear from NASA's systems in the near future

[–] verdantbanana@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

white holes coming to a nasa near you

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've seen some "documentaries" involving "white holes" in space before...

[–] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

"Brown Dwarves Feeding White Holes"

I just finished ^that ^one

This isn't lazy. It's on purpose. Erase history the Trump admin doesn't like.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

She would never have become what she was, if she wasn't black. Clearly a DEI hire. Checkmate, leftists!

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The magoffs this was done for are delighting in people being angry about this.
