“This is really going to impact institutions that we take for granted,” Internet Archive director of archiving and data services Jefferson Bailey told the Standard, “like our museums, our historical societies, our public libraries, our academic libraries — just a lot of people that keep information free and accessible and online.”

They want to remove anything that keeps history accountable. This anti accountability regime don’t want their sins to be remembered. Imagine the linage of these assholes. How they will be looked down upon because their ancestors are are bigots and liars.
They don’t deserve lineages
It’s part of the fascist playbook
They don’t want their lies to be proven false. Same reason trump regime keeps making private government information that was previously available to the public.
“My lies can’t be wrong if I erase all records of the truth”
sucks that the things we need now require regular folks to be their patrons rather than collectively funding them, but here we are…
Your taxes can only go towards kidnappings! /s
Just donated 50 ♥️
❤️Donated. Cash is difficult right now, but I had some crusty old crypto sitting around just shrinking every month - they make it very easy to send some crypto their way so I was happy to dump it.
Thank you for the reminder. I donated 👍
Thanks errer
Disposable income Lemmings, this is the way
❤️ love you Internet Archive
I donated.
Thanks for giving the link and making this an easy 1-click thing. Just donated.
Elon Musk will go to any length to scrub this image from the Internet:
Yup
Liberetard
He looks like what you’d get if you took a dick and made it a pussy.
…what
I said, he looks like what you’d get if you took a dick and made it a pussy.
As in, he’s a dick (asshole), that’s a pussy (coward).
The government funded them $345,000.
This is 100% spiteful and not an example of “wasteful government spending”
We can easily crowdfund this. Especially the parts regarding Republican fuckery.
America, where the good stuff is funded on the side.
Just join the party? Everybody knows the US is a steaming shitshow more than usual.
Sorry, I don’t see what you’re saying
I give 5$ every month to wikipedia. I can give another 5$ to archive.org every month.
Spitefulness is the point. Trying to make progressives cry. “Owning the libs”.
When donvict talked about being “your” retribution, he was throwing red meat to complete dumbasses because this is the kind of shit he is planning for them. Performative bullshit that will do nothing for the base, and certainly nothing for normal Americans.
“Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.”
George Orwell, 1984
They destroy the past to sell you a future. It’s coercion and extortionate.
We have always been at war with Eurasia
Fuck you I won’t don’t do what you tell me. -RATM
They are scared because the people don’t want things to go back to the way they were.
The people want them gone.
And it’s 100% justified.
They know they deserve to be handed over to the mob.
Extremists always destroy history so they can write their own.
Recent inconvinient history. They love to dig up ancient “glory days” (e.g., Ancient Rome, Teutonic knights…) and attach them to their image.
They’re not meticulous historians though. LGBTQ people were more accepted in the Roman Republic (and in ancient Greek) than today.
“Caius Julius Caesar: husband to all the wives, wife to all the husbands.” was a saying that my Latin professor taught us in school.
They don’t care. Just like with religious texts, they’ll shop around for the things they like and ignore those they don’t.

Being AMAB and bottom was stigmatized to the point their swearing system revolved around emasculation threats, so that’s different from what the queer movement of today aims for…
Our swearing system in modern English revolves around sex, violence and infidelity, but our society is also kinda into those things. Societies are complicated.
Edit: also sometimes people still say shit about bottoms when they curse.
Being bottom was really only stigmatized if you were bottoming for a social inferior.
Giving a woman head was more “gay”/stigmatized than taking it up the bum, unless maybe it was a slave penetrating you.
There’s no room or recognition for lesbians really. Trans issues are a tangled web, as they always are.
I doubt the Library of Alexandria had permission from all rights holders to hold copies of many books. /s
Europe here: can we have it? 😅
Ugh some asshole who’s only going to live a century depriving an endless future of historical knowledge. Musk needs to be detained and imprisoned.
Yes, “detained.” And “imprisoned.” ☠️
I just want to shake conservatives and ask “Why doesn’t your government want you to know things??”
I wished we hadn’t voted for him. Wait a minute…
If you are USian, you did vote for him, either by voting, by not voting, or by not doing enough to prevent it. We on the outside of the US dystopia do get to suffer the consequences without having voted either way.
Is there a folding@home style of effort I can contribute disk space and bandwidth to?
The equivalent would be seeding a torrent backup.
Sweet as, I’ll buy a dedicated box and spin up a few instances

He is literally a foreign terrorist. Deport his ass!
ironically hes from a country thats currently being influenced by russia too.
Deport? Dude he is still a man of serious means. It won’t stop him. He needs to be put in a supermax prison and in isolation. It is an intensely cruel punishment but the only appropriate one.
Yes, I like your idea much better
Solitary confinement is absolutely torture, and a supermax prison like USPS Florence ADMAX sometimes make people question if they even exist anymore.
But for people like Elon it is the only appropriate punishment. They need to be isolated from everyone and everything.
Trying to burn digital books. Fascism in 2025.
Who else is waiting to see “DOGE Cuts Funding for Wikipedia”?
