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

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.

I BEG YOU - do not repost, screenshot, or otherwise repeat the outrageous statements, lies, misinformation, and discriminatory language used by others. Reams of research proves that reposting it, even to refute it or express outrage, serves to effectively spread it. PLEASE STOP.

an actually good movie about the empty venality of the american media is of course NETWORK. an actually good movie about blithe indifference to a looming threat is JAWS.

They tacked that terrorism charge onto Luigi so he’d be eligible for execution. I said it before they identified him.

They CANNOT have this boy living a long life of martyrdom.
