archive.ph

If that doesn't work, then try going to this link and entering the url for the article: https://archive.ph

"In addition to eroding our democracy and constitutional norms, the incoming Trump Administration presents one of the greatest modern threats to the safety, health, and well-being of American families.

A plurality of American voters decided they were fine with possibly dying just to temporarily feel great again."

@Nonya_Bidniss You've taught me something, that there are two separate urls for that site. I hadn't known of the .is one.
