A special archiving event is being held in collaboration with Archive's End of Term project. Since 2008 this has saved US government websites at risk during government transitions.
Canadian "guerrilla" archivists will be assisting a rushed effort to preserve US government climate data.
Environmentalists, climate scientists and academics are collaborating to protect what they view as fragile digital federal records and research.
They want the data saved before Donald Trump takes office.
The CBC report interviewed a Canadian scientist who described some of the scientific data that was lost during the Harper government.
Help and donations are requested.

Keep moving those goalposts, boy, eventually you'll happen upon a point that sticks while ignoring every other argument that was made.
Let me direct your attention, again, that the black church (note that hint of segregation there? Thanks for pointing out the obvious) is a large component of the Democratic party, but somehow is different from white churches because "reasons". And even when pointing out that it was indeed segregated even with churches moving towards integration, the point that was missing: prosperity gospel.
From your own link:
Jesus never issued any call for political change, not even by peaceful means. He did not come to earth to be a political or social reformer. The gospel Jesus preached did not have to do with social reform or social justice or political change.
How can you tell me the black church is more a part of the social gospel, when your tirade vindicates every example of moving towards social justice? Can you not even read your own source material? You see any examples or outreaches for the poor? Google scholar indeed.
No, you're just another twit reading in what hey want to believe, missing the obvious, but because they voted Trump (because you can see into their hearts), they must be in league with TBN, but fuck me as long as the black church toadies down to your political beliefs, their hypocrisy can be overlooked.

> that the black church (note that hint of segregation there?
Don't be a dipshit. Black churches are black because the white churches are exclusionary. Blaming the excluded for being left out is some whack bullshit.
> somehow is different from white churches because "reasons".
No, not "reasons." Greed and racial animus wrapped up in religious rationalization. Like most people they prefer to be told they are good people rather than confront the results of their choices.
> How can you tell me the black church is more a part of the social gospel, when your tirade vindicates every example of moving towards social justice?
Sorry, what? You pulled one sentence out of context and think that means something? Could you be any more reductive? Typical google-expert behavior.
> because they voted Trump (because you can see into their hearts),
No, I don't have to see it in their hearts. White evangelicals overwhelmingly voted for Trump, [washingtonpost.com] at even higher numbers than they voted for Bush. They did it during the primaries too [fivethirtyeight.com] when they had actual evangelicals like Carson and Cruz to vote for.
You are profoundly ignorant of the realities here in the south. You know nothing about southern baptists as they live their actual lives and the history of their churches. And you clearly know nothing about the gospel either. Give up trying to rationalize your ignorant bullshit, its completely transparent.
