Remember defund? This administration is showing that defunding is 100% possible - healthcare, education, safety net — and they are doing it in the most brutal way possible.
And why did people want to dismantle ICE? To prevent exactly what we are seeing today.
It’s all connected, always.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

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

Do people get that nobody even uses the term “woke” anymore? That if you are using it then you are doing exactly the kind of work the far-right architect of the “anti-woke” campaign wants you to do? “Wokeness” is a distraction. Racism is, in fact, bad. It’s okay to say so.

I finished a draft of a chapter today - yay! This means that I’m technically just over halfway to a full draft. Progress!
Oh, the book is on the enduring legacy of racist policing and the promise of abolitionist dreams. I’m sure some people still care about all of this, yes?
