In this episode of Critical Defiance, hosts Neils Olesen and BobbySox delve into the alarming trend of digital erasure of historical and cultural information from government websites. They discuss how significant data on topics like climate change, women’s health, LGBTQ+ issues, and diverse historical contributions are being systematically deleted or manipulated, likening it to a modern-day book burning.
The episode features a new streamlined news segment entitled ‘The Big Three,’ covering topics such as the impact of tariffs, the forced deportation of Kilmore Abrego Garcia, and the disrespect shown by the administration during a dignified transfer of troops.
The hosts also explore the success of DEI-based boycotts against companies like Tesla and Target, celebrate Cory Booker’s record-breaking filibuster, and suggest ways to combat this digital dystopia, including supporting Wikipedia and the Internet Archive. Listeners are encouraged to share their outrage, contact their representatives, and actively support public libraries.
