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.

Those of us who grew up in abusive situations recognize all of this, and the advice I have is to not let them make you feel small or make you make yourself small out of fear.

Grow your world every chance you get. Don’t isolate. Build communities and coalitions. They will bolster you in hard times.

TRUMP v. HAWAII
Opinion of the Court
Finally, the dissent invokes Korematsu v. United States,
323 U. S. 214 (1944). Whatever rhetorical advantage the dissent may sen doing so, Korematsu has nothing to do with this case. T'he forcible relocation of U. S. citizens to concentration camps, solely and explicitly on the basis of race, is objectively unlawful and outside the scope of Presidential authority But it is wholly inapt to liken that morally repugna order to a facially neutral policy denying certain foreign nationals the privilege of admission.
See post, at 26-28. The entry suspension is an act that is well within executive authority and could have been taken by any other Presidentβ€”the only question is evaluating the actions of this particular President in promulgating an otherwise valid Proclamation.
The dissent's reference to Korematsu, however, affords this Court the opportunity to make express what is already obvious: Korematsu was gravely wrong the day it was decided, has been overruled in the court of history, and-to be clear-"has no place in law under the Constitu-tion." 323 U.S., at 248 (Jackson, J., dissenting).

β€˜Neo-Nazi Madness’: Meta’s Top AI Lawyer on Why He Fired the Company In an exclusive interview with WIRED, celebrated intellectual property lawyer Mark Lemley elaborates on why he quit and what he makes of the AI copyright battlefield.

Meta's top lawyer on AI will no longer be defending the company due to Zuckerberg's decent into "neo-Nazi madness."

"Mark Zuckerberg is, of course, free to do whatever he wants to do," Mark Lemley says, "but I decided that that wasn't something I wanted to be associated with."

Up from the basement came one of country music's brightest stars (who shall remain nameless). At that moment in time, the Star had a monster radio hit about bombing America's enemies back into the Stone Age.
"Happy birthday," the Star said to Willie, breezing by us. As he passed Kristofferson in one long, confident stride, out of the corner of his mouth came "None of that lefty shit out there tonight, Kris."
"What the luck did you just say to me?" Kris growled, stepping forward.
"Oh, no," groaned Willie under his breath.
"Don't get Kris all riled up."

"You heard me," the Star said, walking away in the darkness.
"Don't turn your back to me, boy," Kristofferson shouted, not giving a shit that basically the entire music industry seemed to be flanking him.
The Star turned around: "I don't want any problems, Kris - I just want you to tone it down."
"You ever worn your country's uniform?" Kris asked rhetorically.
"What?"
"Don't 'What?' me, boy! You heard the question. You just don't like the answer." He paused just long enough to get a full chest of air. "I asked, 'Have you ever served your country?' The answer is, no, you have not. Have you ever killed another man? Huh?

you have not. Have you ever killed another man? Huh? Have you ever taken
another man's life and then cashed the check your country gave you for doing it?
No, you have not. So shut the fuck up!" I could feel his body pulsing with anger next to me. "You don't know what the hell you are talking about!"
"Whatever," the young Star muttered.
Ray Charles stood motionless. Willie Nelson looked at me and shrugged mischievously like a kid in the back of the classroom.
Kristofferson took a deep inhale and leaned against the wall, still vibrating with adrenaline. He looked over at Willie as if to say, "Don't say a word." Then his eyes found me.
"You know what Waylon Jennings said about guys like him?" he whispered.

I shook my head.
"They're doin' to country music what pantyhose did to finger-fuckin'"

Today let’s remember this story about Kris Kristofferson absolutely destroying Toby Keith (from a Rolling Stone article by Ethan Hawke, for some reason)

Roberta Kaplan has responded to Alina Habba's claim that Kaplan had a mentor-mentee relationship with the judge presiding over E. Jean Carroll's most recent jury trial.

"Needless to say, at no point have we ever had a '"mentor" type relationship.'"

So they know what β€œtheir people want” but choose to do the opposite, then prevent them from making changes via vote, seems a little dictatorial.
