50 year old cat lady, I guess? One cat, one dog…and a whole lot of anxiety, which has recently become much, much worse. Trying to un-freeze, and be useful.

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

Thank you! A federal judge blocked U.S. DOGE employees from altering any records of payments at the Treasury Department while she weighs a request by public interest groups for a broader injunction against their activity. Thank you, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly’s! 🙏

The Trump Administration’s hiring freeze has led the National Parks Service to cancel job offers for seasonal employees. We are concerned this could leave our parks understaffed during the busy summer season, which sees over 100 million visitors annually.

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

Please implore Governor Kathy Hochul to stop sending tax dollars to the fascist regime, and to block the ICE Gestapo from acting in your state. We must form a New Union of blue states to beat back this New Confederacy. We must begin by cutting off their funding.

If a federal judge says THIS about your party’s leader, you are in the wrong party. You are part of a group of people that is Anti-USA. You are NOT a patriot. And that means all of you. Every single Republican. This is your fucking mess. Fix it.

Our coalition has now grown to nearly 2,000 federal employees. During the last term, the Trump administration initiated searches for resistance members. This is a reminder to use only our designated communication channels.

The Trump administration warned federal employees of “adverse consequences” for not reporting colleagues resisting orders to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, giving a 10-day deadline to report via a special email account.

Three Trump nominees advanced through Senate committees this morning: Lee Zeldin for EPA administrator, Doug Burgum for Interior Secretary, and Chris Wright for Energy Secretary. Burgum and Wright for their ties to fossil fuel industries—Wright being a former fracking executive.
