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

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Someone ask RFK how he’s going to get chemicals out of food, which were introduced to maximize profits and make it cheaper, while working in an administration that is looking to deregulate all industries so corporations and billionaires can line their pockets.

Yes please
If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

Just watched a Parks & Rec episode (aired 2013 I think) that used "remove fluoride from water because it is a chemical" as biting satire to make fun of gullible people and it hits different in 2025

I love how the worst people you know try coming over to Bluesky to spread the same childish hate and realizing the same engagement boost doesn't work here as they get smacked with a nuclear report and block bomb.

It's the little things.
