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

I need these food companies to market vegetables to my kids, not more bars and fruit snacks and cookies. Like, bring out the Paw Patrol Pup Salad and the Transformers Veggie Patties.

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary.
It can't get a distributor in the US.
Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

It's not over yet. Let's get on the phone to our senators.
The fight for medicaid isn't over, the republicans scrambled their vote to pass the budget in the house, they still have to pass the senate, & there's huge national opposition, & there are still opportunities to push for it to be saved, don't count battles lost prematurely.
