A long, fascinating, and insightful read. Best thing I’ve read in a long time. A poignant and illuminating story of the life of Peter Putnam. Left me wanting to know more. Very well written, by @amandagefter.bsky.social via @nautil.us

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Please don't normalize talk of a third term for ANY presidential candidate of any party, ever. It's throwing gasoline on the flames of authoritarianism.

DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.

Raskin: He destroyed more than $10 trillion in American wealth in a single week. And then he went golfing and bragged to America about winning the tournament at his own golf course. That's like bragging about being endorsed by your own campaign manager. So much winning

Raskin: They say the number of courts striking down trump's policies is completely unprecedented. So what? That's only because the number of his illegal actions are completely unprecedented.

Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

They will
But that doesn't prevent their constituents from holding these meetings anyway
Or Dem Reps from other districts -or Gov Tim Walz- from coming to MAGA districts and holding one
Get out there
MAKE NOISE
Bring them the attention they so desperately want to avoid

Hey guys
Just a reminder:
The House and Senate are both in recess next week
They will all be in the district & state offices
-or at least they're supposed to be
Check with them to see when & where they'll be holding Town Halls in your area during recess
It's the new hot ticket
And it is your right

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

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
