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.

fun fact: Denny's was named after Denethor, Steward of Gondor

This can apply to a few different men, now, tbh Happy Saturday. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

Great day to protest NAZI TESLA! 500 to 750 showed up in at Superior / Louisville CO Tesla. They closed down early! #Denver #Colorado #DenverProtest #Protest #PoliticalRevolution #BuildtheResistance #NoKings #50501movement #fiftyfiftyone #copolitics @westword.com @coloradosun.com @kylec.bsky.social

The GOP’s “SAVE Act” is just another voter suppression scheme. Requiring passports or birth certificates to vote would block millions—especially women, rural voters, and low-income Americans. Don’t be fooled. This isn’t about election security—it’s about rigging the rules.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

You can’t post your way out of fascism Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 🔗 www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

See now I’m starting to think that these people want a machine to summarize things for them because when a human does it, the human uses words like “no” and “that would hurt people” and “that’s illegal.”

Going through my new sketchbook determined to actually finish a drawing 😆

Let it be noted for posterity that it was ordinary citizens who stood up first and acted to defend their democracy and not their elected representatives. 🧵👇

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

HAPPENING NOW

We are here today to shine a light on the crime that is unfolding before our eyes and support our tremendous civil servants at U.S. AID. Follow live on C-SPAN here: www.c-span.org/event/news-c...

It is astonishing that mainstream media is covering this like it is a shruggie vibe 🤷‍♂️

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

I'm digging how this WWII guide is basically "gum up fascism by being an energy vampire." Let Colin Robinson be your guide in the fight against fascism. The link: www.404media.co/declassified...

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

hey quick question does Goliath win in that story

ah cool, an archive of all CDC data before they tampered with it

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

This would be nuts even if they were gov’t employees with clearances: “Three of the sources said the DOGE personnel wanted to gain access to security systems and personnel files. Two of those sources said also they wanted access to classified information.” www.cnn.com/2025/02/02/p...

It’s mah hubs, @matthewjblair.bsky.social!

@matthewjblair.bsky.social heyoooo

No Star Wars. No Star Trek. Name a favorite sci-fi franchise.

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

A federal judge has temporarily blocked a Trump administration freeze on federal grants and loans that could total trillions of dollars.

It SHOCKING that DeepSeek allegedly trained their tech on ChatGPT without asking for permission! Imagine if OpenAI had stolen other people’s work to build theirs… Oh. Hope they all devour each other, just as they’ve been working on devouring us.
