The whole point is not just the state disappearing whoever they want, it's you being in the habit of accepting the state choosing whom to disappear, without question. It's submission to the state. Same as with Gitmo after 9/11. The state's judgment must not be questioned.

Now more than any other time is the need for access to news and official government documents been so important to the continuation of this nation.
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

Going after private companies seems pretty socialist to me
🚨 BREAKING: The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Acting Chair sent letters to 20 law firms requesting information about their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices.
A federal judge granted a temporary restraining order after Trump targeted law firm in Executive Order.

So glad that there are still good lawyers out there
UPDATE: “Several members of DOGE arrived at USIP unannounced & accompanied by 2 FBI agents. They were met at the door by outside counsel who informed them of USIP’s private & independent status as a non-executive branch agency. Following that discussion, DOGE departed.” www.usip.org/press/2025/0...
BREAKING—The United States Institute of Peace (USIP) office was just on lockdown for close to an hour while members of the DOGE team tried to enter the building, multiple people have told me. Security has now escorted out remaining staffers who’ve been told to telework until further notice.

The absolute devastation that @chuckschumer.com is about to inflict on D.C. by supporting the GOP’s continuing resolution is hard to overstate. Massive cuts to schools and law enforcement. Teachers laid off en masse. Basic city services may grind to a halt because we *cannot spend our own money.*
