The news industry is vital to democracy, but paywalls block readers from key stories, especially investigative reports. To fix this, Wired makes articles based on public records from FOIA freely accessible, ensuring crucial government reporting remains available. @wired.com is.gd/lYyQhJ

If you haven't yet watched Tony Gilroy's "ANDOR" do yourself a favor and hop over to YTube and watch the 1st three episodes (one episode alone doesn't do the story justice). The real-world hellscape that we're all living through now is brought to life in fantastic sci-fi glory. 1/ is.gd/ANDOR123

I saw this post on my FB feed and have some thoughts. is.gd/failure_post Even though I don't want our president to fail, Trump will absolutely fail—and it's a damned shame that he’s taking the rest of us down with him.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Cripes. Whutta bunch of loonies. 😳 These (far-right) people believe that "...modern progressivism is just the latest incarnation of an ancient evil dating back to the late Roman Republic and continuing through the French Revolution and Communism to today." I wish this was fiction. 😰
