The First Amendment protects our fundamental right to speak freely and to hold power to account.
Today, the greatest threat to that freedom is coming from our own government.
I spoke @themediainst.bsky.social today to warn about the Administration's campaign of censorship and control. 🧵

In her speech to @themediainst.bsky.social today, @agomezfcc.bsky.social continued her recent criticisms of the administration for running “a campaign to censor and control.”
“The FCC should not be in the business of controlling access to vital local information," Gomez said.

Gomez Warns of Trump Efforts “to Censor and Control” - Radio World
Anna Gomez says if she is removed from her seat on the FCC, it won’t be because she failed to do her job but because she insisted on doing it.

What an awesome concept. Happy Sunshine Week!
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
