And that's a wrap! The DRP Steering Committee has completed our first retreat. Please be on the lookout for posts, announcements, and updates!

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

Ah. Ma. Zing.

Want to know about all of the initiatives related to federal data preservation efforts? @shadac.bsky.social at the University of Minnesota has created a great guide with lots of resources! 🛟 🔗

The DRP Steering Committee is in Philadelphia for a retreat, so here's a Philadelphia-based #DataRescue meme

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Calling all #DataRescuers! As the federal administration begins removing #NPS signage and information, we need your help. It's not too late to get out there and #SaveOurSigns. Check out this @washingtonpost.com article (linked below) for sites currently at risk.

@esipfed.bsky.social For more information!

EDGI’s @gretchengehrke.bsky.social will discuss the landscape of federal data — and what groups like EDGI, @publicenvirodata.bsky.social, and others are doing to monitor and preserve it — one year into this Trump administration.

We didn't forget #mememonday, so we hope YOU won't forget to join us for our very first #AMA happening this Friday, 6-8pm Eastern. Learn more and submit your questions: www.datarescueproject.org/ask-me-anyth...

Our project director Rebecca Lindsey features in a new TIME story, “The Women Saving America’s Climate Data.” The article features our efforts to save content created on behalf of NOAA and the Fifth National Climate Assessment. You can access the full article through Climate.us "In the Press" page.

My neighborhood is in the news for a horrible reason. But at the protests and vigils today, I saw humanity at its best. People constantly distributing hand warmers in the subzero temps. People opening their homes and businesses. People setting out tables with supplies. People caring for each other.

POWERFUL “The murderers are ICE. They are who we need out of this city. Let us carry on our lives safely and not in fear of being shot. If we help a woman who slips on the ice, as I saw happen earlier today before that man was murdered… let’s say his name, Alex was murdered while he was helping.”

Um, Ace Hardware?

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I just saw a video of more than 6 masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?"

"Slavery was real" Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington. Presidents House, Philadelphia.

ICE SUCKS (both kinds)

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

I told the White House the state must lead the investigation. Let state investigators secure justice. As we process the scene, stay peaceful and give them space. The State has the personnel to keep people safe – federal agents must not obstruct our ability to do so.

I learned that people can be motivated to care about government information. We just have to talk about it in ways that make sense and relate to their everyday lives. Like .... #publicdataisapublicgood

Hey #Philly we got you boo. No replacement for the originals but we will remember and fight. ✊🛟❤️

❤️ A friend of #SaveOurSigns pulled out the interpretative panels from our archive. This is our history.

According to an @inquirer.com update this morning. The city of #philly is suing the federal government based on an agreement between the city and the government about the independence hall sites. The city will keep fighting for its history.

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 #SaveOurSigns The signs of the presidents house in #philly will remain available in our archive. We will not forget our history.

@quetzal1234.bsky.social and @cynthiaheider.com y'all should talk zines. Maybe a zine about the Independence Hall panels that were removed today???

The erasure of history has begun. Today in #Philly, workers dismantled an exhibit honoring the lives of enslaved people. Not only was this a monument to their stories, but to the community that came together to support its creation. Today, the federal government dismantled it without their input.

We will not allow the erasure of history. This is why we fought to #SaveOurSigns The digital memory is not the same but at least it gives us something to point to. #philly

The bears have it. Tip of the hat to Alt National Park Service. Good people doing good things for our nation. #RadioFreeAmerica

New mention of #SaveOurSigns in @nytimes.com article focused on the removal of a sign at Fort Sumter. A sign detailing the risks the site faces from climate change was removed. Don't forget that we are still taking submissions! www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/c...

Al Gore is doing the good work. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Wow. A world leader who sounds reasonable and sane. Any Canadians want to adopt me? My grandma was PEI. 🍁 globalnews.ca/news/1162087...

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.

We’ve seen a year of people coming together to support, celebrate, and advocate for public data. The DRP will continue to bring the librarians to the table because the right to access information of all kinds is fundamental to our profession.

WHYYYY? This is ethnic cleansing. This is inhumane. This isn't making us safer.
