MC @samalamanphd.bsky.social · 25/06/2025The clarification states that there have been incidents. A2 is not like A1 that shares space with the NARA museum. Perhaps persons have wanted to gain entrance to A2 but have no research to conduct? 000
MC @samalamanphd.bsky.social · 25/06/2025NARA issued a statement this morning clarifying everything: your parking is being restricted. Not your access to the building or the records. You won’t be able to park in front anymore-that lot is now for staff only. Researcher parking is moving to a lot behind A2: please forward this announcement 140

There's a simple answer. The wrong side of history will always tell you to be afraid - the right side of history will always expect you to be brave. 11370431711

And that those records can hold people w/political power ACCOUNTABLE for what they do. The accountability of politicians to the people who gave them power is the ESSENCE of democracy. Signal prevents accountability. 943950959
