They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

The US has a Department of Defence.
Who is it actively defending from?

And given all the invasions the US has done in the past few decades, it should be called Department of Offence.

I have been noticing a pattern in my brown friends and family where they never seem happy with their current govt or system, and this cynicism is the talk of the groups or gathering.
Whether they’re in India, Pakistan, Canada, or USA, grass is always greener somewhere else for them.

Breeds despair.

The 1956 Soviet invasion of Hungary cost a lifetime of trauma for my parents, and half of my childhood spent in repression. It makes me happy that when the EU says “We, Europeans” now includes Hungarians. (And I hope that it stays that way.)

Can you imagine that Twitter was once a place where millions of famous artists and musicians and athletes (and unfortunately journalists and politicians) and so on would just log onto for free and post every day all day off the dome the thoughts and details of their every day lives?
