We know that many people are commenting (over 80,000) on the OMB's proposed changes, but there is still time, and every voice matters. APS has created a great tool that you can use to respond to specific portions and customize your comment for submission. www.aps.org/initiatives/...

Today we're recognizing a full year of #SaveOurSigns. We can't say we're "celebrating" this anniversary - but we are incredibly grateful to everyone who submitted a photo to the #SOSArchive. With more than 15,000 photos (!!!!!) we can track and monitor censorship of the signs in our national parks.

New post from the #SaveOurSigns crew about the current administration's active efforts to whitewash and erase history. We will not forget. www.datarescueproject.org/presidents-s...

Join @resistancerangers.altgov.info and partners for a public teach-in, postcards to elected officials, and a call to protect public memory. Black history. Indigenous history. LGBTQ+ history. Slavery. Climate science. Labor history. Civil rights. These stories are part of the American story.

This is great news! Thank you to everyone who helped to sound the alarm or contacted their reps to fight this. I’m no sure what will happen to the sensors already pulled from off the coast of Washington, but the rest of the network is saved for now. Keep fighting! It matters!

We have joined the Association of Population Centers, @apduorg.bsky.social, @copafs.bsky.social, and @icpsr.bsky.social for this statement on the Department of Commerce's new order on Disclosure Avoidance for Statistical Products buff.ly/kofjV6m

@dataindex.us has a new post on the Department of Commerce's changes to the use of noise infusion. The post does a great job of explaining, in clear terms, the importance of the technique and the impact of these changes. dataindex.us/newsletter/a...

Do you use NHANES data? If so, consider submitting a comment in support of the data The prior request for comments received only THREE responses www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Second: Come get (re)oriented to the world of the DRP during our first office hour of the summer on June 10! www.datarescueproject.org/summer-re-or...

It's finally Friday, and we've set aside time to explore the new Federal Data Field Guide from Denice Ross and Chis Marcum. It has truly the best animal illustrations and plain-language, all designed to make it easy and fun to engage with federal data! Check it out: www.federaldatafieldguide.us

Thanks to @theguardian.com for highlighting the people involved in the effort to save and demonstrate the importance of federal public data. ❤️🛟 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

📚 CFP is open at Journal of Open Humanities Data for short papers related to data rescue. The journal is open access but generous with waivers. Abstracts due May 22. I'm one of the editors for the collection. openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/collections/...

To anyone interested in conspiracy theories, a really thought-provoking paper was just published by @robert-m-ross.bsky.social et al. We have probably been overcounting the number of people who believe in conspiracy theories. 🧵

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

📣📣📣 Calling all #DataRescuers! The #SaveOurSigns crew needs our help capturing interpretative panels at key National Parks, including the Grand Canyon, before they are erased, removed, silenced. Learn more and get involved: www.datarescueproject.org/sos-help/

New DRP post on #SaveOurSigns and the recent removals in #Philly and Fort Sumter. 🛟 Please share and let us know if you see removals. You can also submit "after" photos you may take of the removals. www.datarescueproject.org/sos-only-the...

But our archive will never replace the power of the originals that were at 6th & Market. Again, the community fought to have the history recognized. #SaveOurSigns

This is why we did the work of #SaveOurSigbs The signs of the presidents house in #philly will remain available in our archive. We will not forget our history. saveoursigns.org

Alright #DataRescuers -- as we approach our first anniversary, we have some questions for YOU! First: what has been most helpful for you from the DRP? (and don't forget that we're hosting an #AMA on January 30, 6-8pm Eastern! Please submit your questions through our form.)

📚 Does anyone have any good examples of predatory journals for a workshop activity for residents? I give them a few journal websites and they have to identify the predatory ones. Tricky ones welcome.

New Post on work to back up the BRFSS.  Big thanks to @quetzal1234.bsky.social for a huge undertaking! www.datarescueproject.org/cdc-brfss/

Happy #MemeMonday to everyone else who is struggling today. We can do this -- but it will be easier to get through it together!

Hey rescuers! Help @climate.us make the Fifth National Climate Assessment easier to find!

And I'm really bad at self-promotion, but if you want to contribute to my storage costs I have a GoFundMe at https://gofund.me/dc3798c09

The protest in Manhattan is so big there's literally a traffic jam of people. We are inching along. #nokings #nycprotest

Important update! The #SaveOurSigns initiative has released the first batch of photos captured in National Parks. Check out the website as well as the press release for more info: sites.google.com/umn.edu/save...

I remember being at faculty meetings at New College of Florida right before the right wing takeover. It was obvious what was coming. People would suggest we should do something, speak out against DeSantis, and the response was that we were so small, let that come from UF. (1/n)

thanks to @quetzal1234.bsky.social for representing the DRP in the @nytimes.com A Trump Administration Playbook: No Data, No Problem www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/c...

Very surreal to have a senator use a hashtag I came up with...

@ithakasr.bsky.social recently spoke with DRP members @lyndamk.bsky.social, @quetzal1234.bsky.social, @halle-burns.bsky.social, and @mikalarae.bsky.social about the founding of DRP and all things #DataRescue sr.ithaka.org/blog/preserv...

@nickofferman.bsky.social has "several undeniable loves in [his] life" including "of course, America's national parks." Support our national parks, be courteous to other visitors, clean up after yourselves and your pets, and don't forget to #SaveOurSigns

One of our members is conducting a study about instructors using government data. You can read more about her work on today's post: www.datarescueproject.org/teaching-wit...

If you are signed up with us and in Mattermost, please check in. We have an urgent rescue that could use some help in the next three weeks. It is for the HIFLD Open GIS repository. hifld-geoplatform.hub.arcgis.com/search #DataRescue

Nerd???! Ok, fine. Anything for public data as a public good. Well, almost anything. Thanks @quetzal1234.bsky.social for representing us! @dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/art...

You can help us #SaveOurSigns ! Take a pic and send to saveoursigns.org www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/c... @nytimes.com

Get ready for some fun coming at you this Fourth of July weekend?! DRP has teamed up with some awesome UMN librarians and @safeguardingdata.bsky.social to #SaveOurSigns Read more, spread the word, and get to taking those pics! www.datarescueproject.org/save-our-sig...

The purpose of government is to provide public goods. Public data are a public good. This should never be privatized. While we can (and have) rescued some of this data, we need people to speak out about the halting of data collection!

Really nice discussion of actionable items nightingaledvs.com/data-communi...

We have a big announcement & it involves a bevy of nautical themes. The DRP can now take donations! Read more about what we need & how you can help. Everyone is welcome to become a part of the crew, though, even if you don't have the financial means. 🛟 ❤️ www.datarescueproject.org/help-us-keep...
