For those of you upset about the government\'s muzzling of government scientists, but unsure of what to do about it, may I suggest donating to Sci-hub?\
\
Sci-hub\'s mission is to make all of the world\'s scientific papers accessible for free to everyone. Since fulfilling their mission requires flouting government enforced copyright monopolies, they risk imprisonment and financial ruination. For example, founder Alexandra Elbakyan is currently in hiding as a result of her activities:\

\
They\'re a new org, and operate on a shoe-string budget, so small donations will have much greater impact than donation to more established organizations such as EFF or the ACLU.\
\
Donate by sending bitcoin here:\
