Against the day we know will come, when genuine justice can once again be served, let us make sure we remember the names of every one of Musk’s script kiddies, every recipient of Trump’s January 6 pardons, every member of every Texas or Florida governor’s rat squad, every fake elector put up by Republicans for the 2020 election, every member of every right-wing militia or lawless county sheriff’s posse comitatus, and every member of the U.S. Supreme Court who voted with the majority in Relentless, Inc. v. Department of Commerce, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, and Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. If we are ever to restore what the Constitution once promised us—to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity—we will need them to answer publicly and completely for what they’ve attempted to do to our country.
Indeed. Worthy of a Wikipedia index since we can’t trust our esteemed print media to put forth such a catalog. And my money is on the abilities of those fierce defenders of Wiki’s pages to preserve it as opposed to the amnesic editors at the NYT or WaPo.
I’m hoping, yes. I suppose, given enough undisturbed time in office, Trump could conceivably do to Wikipedia and the Wayback Machine what Xi Jinping has done to independent information sources in China, particularly if the broligarchy gives him and his idiot minions a hand. Dark optimist that I am, though, I don’t think he’ll get that time. Besides, this is still America. Millions of us have even more millions of terabytes of our own disk storage, and no reason to feel any love for the swine currently trying to undo everything good we’ve done and hoped to do for our country for the last 249 years. Let a million Madame Defarges bloom!
