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

A non-elected oligarch’s aide is locking career federal employees out of their computer systems.

The same oligarch has seized control of the Treasury Department’s payment software.

This is a hostile take over. Will no leaders stand? What are we to do? Is no one coming?

Language matters.

Trump’s immigration policy is not targeting criminals, it is racial profiling.

Guantanamo will not be a detention facility, it will be a concentration camp.

Migrants will not be detained, people will be interned.

Mainstream media will get this wrong. We need to get it right.

Everyone needs to hear this.

This is not about opposing Trump and the GOP agenda.

This is about fighting for the future and what can be.

Bishop Mariann Budde on the role of faith in young people's lives:

"It's not about what the Church wants them to do for our sake -- but that we are channels of love, grace, & investment in them. If there was ever an opportunity for us to be of service to those coming up behind us, it's now."

This from @aoc.bsky.social.

The targeting of migrants for detention & deportation, without due process, is an outrage in itself. But it’s also about profiteering.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.
