Democracies don't have some god-given right to prevail. Great nations can descend into autocracy, and more - throughout history - great civilisations have been known to crumble practically overnight.

Astonishing to see this statement from the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. All Americans need to internalize where we are and where we’re headed and the urgency of the situation. www.amacad.org/news/board-s...

Such a horrible thing to happen to a wonderful bookshop. Please support @littletollerbooks.bsky.social by following them - on here and on Instagram, if you have an account. And do share the word around. Thank you 😊🙏
On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

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

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants.

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st.
He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses."
They didn't show him a warrant.
They didn't give him paperwork.
And he's now suing.
