A lot is happening right now. Hope you'll still take a moment to read WIRED's story of Red Bull's incredible work as a whistleblower, our analysis of the evidence he shared, the details of his ordeal inside a modern slavery operation, and how he finally got home. /end www.wired.com/story/he-lea...
He Leaked the Secrets of a Southeast Asian Scam Compound. Then He Had to Get Out Alive
A source trapped inside an industrial-scale scamming operation contacted me, determined to expose his captors’ crimes—and then escape. This is his story.

Red Bull's leaks to me were never detected. But when he tried to escape, this story became a nightmare. He was caught by his bosses, beaten, kicked, drugged and then starved for weeks. Only when the compound had to move to evade an impending police raid would he seize an opportunity to get free.

Red Bull later shared hours of screenrecordings as he scrolled through the compound's internal WhatsApp groups. We at WIRED converted the videos into 4,200 pages of screenshotted chats that reveal the daily operations of a scam compound at a level never seen before. www.wired.com/story/the-re...

Last year, a human trafficking victim trapped in a crypto scam compound in the Golden Triangle region of Laos contacted me. He then proceeded to leak to me a huge collection of the compound's internal materials.

Then he had to get out alive. This is his story.

This wasn’t easy to share, but it mattered.
Thanks to WIRED for documenting what I witnessed.
It shows what’s happening behind online scam operations.

“Once the Border Patrol operated primarily in the shadows of the borderlands,” Reece Jones writes in a guest essay. “After watching neighbors tear gassed, pepper-sprayed and beaten while exercising their right to observe police activity, it is impossible to look away.”

Just for some background, this is the draft executive order that the crazies in Trumpworld (Flynn, Giuliani, etc.) had ready for Trump in 2020 to seize voting machines. Note the last part, which authorizes criminal proceedings www.politico.com/f/?id=000001... www.politico.com/news/2022/01...
Read the never-issued Trump order that would have seized voting machines
The Jan. 6 select panel has obtained the draft order and a document titled "Remarks on National Healing." Both are reported here in detail for the first time.

"Paywalls don’t just limit the reach of news; they create a void often filled by lies and deceit," writes FPF board member @johncusack.bsky.social.

"Whatever business model journalism settles on is sure to depend on public trust. Paywalls undermine that trust."
Paywall-free news coverage of ICE raids, deportation campaign aids those who need it most
Paywalls create a two-tiered citizenry — one that can afford to be informed, and one that cannot, actor and political activist John Cusack writes.

Dark matter’s “nightmare scenario” looks more likely than ever

Perhaps dark matter cannot be directly detected; perhaps it only interacts gravitationally.

That's not an argument against its existence.

That's the nightmare scenario come to life!

Dark matter's "nightmare scenario" looks more likely than ever
Our great hope is that today's indirect, astrophysical evidence will someday lead to successful direct detection. What if that's impossible?

Uma comunidade indígena localizada na fronteira amazônica do Peru passou a discutir publicamente a possibilidade de romper vínculos com o Estado peruano e se integrar ao Brasil. O movimento é motivado por denúncias de abandono institucional e pela ausência de políticas de segurança em uma das regiões mais isoladas do país. O debate envolve o […]
