“Unpaywalling” is good not only for democracy but for business, writes FPF board member @johncusack.bsky.social.
Outlets that dropped paywalls for their FOIA-based reporting, like @WIRED.com and @404Media.co, saw significant increases in subscriptions and revenue.

Paywall-free news coverage of ICE raids, deportation campaign aids those who need it most

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

"It's a new moment when the power of the state is used to kill a white man & a white woman. When the majority of American voters look at somebody like Renee Good or Alex Pretti and they say, 'That could be me.' That matters. It would be nice if they said it about everybody."

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.
