Russia anyone? A coalition of #news organizations said in a #court filing that video exhibits from a #Jan6 #riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform #DOJ that provided access to evidence used in court. "It is unclear whether the Department of Justice intentionally removed the files." npr.org/2025/02/11/nx-s1-52934 #disappearing #data #government #websites #politics #maga #trump #riots #CapitolRiots #legalresearch #censorship #freedomofinformation

Asking for assistance from folks who can save #data rapidly #disappearing off .gov sites in the US - #climate data is almost all scrubbed - I have located one cache of datasets here that are critical and currently still accessible hifld-geoplatform.hub.arcgis.c The datasets are managed off of DHS servers so have not been wiped yet. #censorship #DHS #scholarship #research #ClimateCrisis #weather #governmentDatasets #geospatial

Digital Marketing Podcast — Today in Digital Marketing (daily)todayindigital.com

👉 The #disappearance of #Indigenous #peoples in #Mexico,
👉 the #impunity of perpetrators committing #crimes against Indigenous, 👉 how some #self-#defense groups are #criminalized, and
👉 the #response by the National Indigenous Congress (#CNI).

In Mexico, Indigenous #defenders of #land, #territory, and the #environment are #disappearing

A prominent example is Santos de la Cruz Carrillo, Wixárika (Huichol) land defender and attorney.

Meanwhile the state and local #authorities have shown no interest in conducting real investigations. Perpetrators of crimes against Indigenous peoples are acting with impunity while Indigenous peoples are being #falsely #charged of criminal activities.

When the government fails to provide security or actively collaborates with violent criminal organizations, Indigenous communities may form their own armed groups out of desperation, but this rarely ends well.

In #Pantelhó, in the highlands of #Chiapas, Los #Machetes began as an Indigenous self-defense group but have degenerated into a criminal band.

Next, we get an update on the National Indigenous Congress (#CNI) held in Tehuacan, Puebla on 4-5 March 2023, describing their efforts to resist several megaprojects which adversely impact Indigenous peoples.

Lastly, some preliminary analysis of the #Vatican’s 3/30/2023 statement #repudiating the #Doctrine of #Discovery.
