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.
My son has two stellar ones: getting ready for bed is "sleeping chores" and Screamin Sicilian brand pizza is "Mustache Freakout."
Oh there's a cool lunar eclipse tonight! ...at 3am NOPE

Positive news out of WNC-the registrations for today's @indivisible.org event met capacity so it will be livestreamed on YouTube. Not just blue dots any more... #Asheville

You cannot shame people who feel no shame. You cannot guilt people who feel no guilt. You cannot argue with people whose minds are closed. You can only stand in their way.
'Muammar Gaddafi, the expanded executive authority of Libya.
Mobutu Sese Seko, the expanded executive authority of Congo.
François Duvalier, the expanded executive authority of Haiti.'
A bit convoluted to write it like this every time. Wonder if there was just a single word for these people...? 🤔
I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.
I've decided to add "for the revolution" to everything I do. I'm working out for the revolution. I'm grocery shopping for the revolution. I'm cleaning the kitchen for the revolution.

Bless all the "lead with love" and "come together" people but I can't get past that we're careening toward a failed state like the countries the oligarchs call sh!th0les.
We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.

It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.
I made a thing. Feel free to share/use it.
I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.
This is so good.
UW just announced Robert J. Jones as the 34th President of the university. Happy Black History Month indeed! He will indeed build upon Ana Mari Cauce's legacy.
i know a lot of gov employees are watching my feed at the moment 👇
Oh yeah- loved it!
I appreciate a lot about @theatlantic.com but holy cow is the hyper focus on elite private colleges odd. The Big Story about higher ed I want to read is abt the staggering increase in tuition at public unis, gutting of regional comprehensives, and the collapse of state funding that made that happen.
❤️ my tat and ❤️ you.
