GOP mouthpiece Suzanne Downing is accusing Fairbanks protesters of being a"tour group".

That makes perfect sense. If you don't recognize someone in Fairbanks they must be a tourist says the weirdo comparing people to video game characters.

Charging into the weekend, time for a list.

5 ways to #Resist and #Recover:

1) meet up with friends at a protest. Go have a beverage afterwards.

2) do something that makes an immediate difference. Support people you know, share information to those who can promote it (FWS, DM me!), postcards.

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

Everyone reading this page must play a role in stopping the madness. Today I want to focus on some hard work with family/friends. We all have people we love who voted for Trump. Many have been sucked in by lies and misinformation. I know it feels hopeless, but we need you to talk to them.

The University of Alaska is in trouble folks.

Based on these two documents, three words have been banned from public facing web pages and in many cases web pages containing these words have been deactivated.

This is erasure, censorship, and the active banning of words without legal precedent.
