You don’t have to work to deserve to eat. You don’t have to be a citizen to deserve to eat. You don’t have to have a qualifying medical condition to deserve to eat. You deserve to eat because you’re a human being deserving of care, compassion, and dignity.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

WIRED@wired.com

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.

They’ve gone from the party of, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall,” to the party of, “Mr. Putin, we can build beautiful condos on this wall. We can build them out of the bones of babies if you’d like.”

New, longer and stronger statement from Gov. Kathy Hochul on the lawsuit filed against her and other NY leaders over the Green Light Law. "There's no way I'm letting federal agents, or Elon Musk's shadowy DOGE operation, get unfettered access to the personal data of any New Yorker in the DMV system"
