Few publications have risen to the moment like Wired. Kudos to them for courageous, quality coverage of our current national crises.
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

It is human trafficking.
Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.
@washingtonpost.com They were not DEPORTED. Deported means sending them back to their country of origin. These people were sent to a maximum security prison in El Salvador, without any due process or any analysis as to whether they feared harm in El Salvador!

No NYT, a Trump-Putin meeting isn’t like the Yalta Conference.
Yalta 1945 was allies who fought for years against aggression planning for after Germany’s defeat.
This is the US—which didn’t fight in the war—trying to help Russian aggression, pretending Ukraine lost in the field and has no agency.

She spoke with grace, love and courage about treating the vulnerable with compassion and care, something which is a constant the words of Jesus, the Apostles and prophets. That Trump would react like this to Gospel preaching is sadly predictable. As is the incoming support from certain Evangelicals.
As I said, he would not be able to help himself ... will the folks who perpetuate and preach Christian beliefs (i.e. Church Leaders) now stand up to remind Trump this is against the Gospel?
All Rev. Budde did was preach practice from Gospel.
Let's see which Christians stand up to him now.

If you want to see the opposite of “obeying in advance,” here it is. Remarkable bravery by Reverend Budde.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
