Another reason why Wikipedia remains so important and will always have a raison d'être! -

None of these lists are exhaustive. None of these lists could be exhaustive. And that is a damnation in and of itself: that there are enough thoroughly-documented, air-tight incidents of each of these to have their own Wikipedia page, but that this isn't even a tenth of what's really there.
Wikipedia's editors are brave as hell and some of the heroes we desperately need.
@theogrin @molly0xfff I just want to say as well for anyone inspired by this: YOU too can edit Wikipedia! There is no special bravery required, it is many thousands of ordinary people around the world maintaining it, day after day. I do it and I enjoy it, it can be very fun!
Molly actually has a guide called "Become a Wikipedian in 30 Minutes" that is a fantastic entry point for anyone who is curious about editing, but intimidated by the process of getting started. It is available both in text and video form: https://blog.mollywhite.net/become-a-wikipedian-transcript/
I always see many people advocate for donating money to the Wikimedia foundation, but in my opinion what is even more valuable is contributing your time to be an editor. A high quality source of knowledge like this requires constant maintenance, and there are many articles which have not been maintained or looked at for a long time.
There are many types of small tasks you can do, to help with this maintenance. One of my favourite types of edits to do is to check the citations on pages, to ensure that the text actually reflects what the citations say. You would be surprised, on smaller less frequently edited pages, how often the text doesn't reflect what is cited!
There are a million small edits like that, and edit by edit, that's how Wikipedia is built. There are so many small edits one can do, but because of how widely read Wikipedia is, even small edits make a huge impact.

@molly0xfff ME (25 years ago): Wikipedia sounds a little sketchy. Best to go with traditional media sources.
ME (now): Thank God for Wikipedia.

This is part of why I consider my volunteer editing on #Wikipedia to be the most important job of my life. An accurate record of the atrocities of this administration must be preserved.

@molly0xfff Perhaps Wikipedia should move the records outside USA jurisdiction

@molly0xfff I really don't have the capacity to help with this but the Minnesota section is lacking some high-profile arrests such as (1), as well as a review of the many many arrests of US citizens who have been observing and documenting federal activity. I'd be grateful to anyone who can help fill out this section.

날이면 날마다 찾아옵니다. FediDev KR, 올해에는 자주 스프린트 모임을 열어보려고 하는데요. 지금까지 그래왔듯, 튜링의 사과에서 장소 후원을 해주신 덕분에 스프린트 모임을 작게 자주 열 수 있게 되었습니다. 아무튼....... 다들 언제쯤 참여하기 괜찮으신가요!?!?!?
