BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Not Jane!! 😢

Saw Hegseth, and as a former service member, here's my two cents. He sounded exactly like a dude who has a chip on his shoulder because of a few unsavory reports made against him during his time in. Now he has the reins, and he's trying to make it easier to fail up rather than facing consequences.

Nothing in the parenting books prepared me for having my Sims' intricate little worlds devastated by the lawless vampire families my 14-year-old moved into MULTIPLE neighborhoods.

How to wash yr hands

Something beautiful is happening in Brooklyn, New York this week.

Anxiety flavor: pumpkin spice

26-year-old @katmabu.bsky.social made her name swatting down right-wing talking points on social media. Now she’s hoping internet fame can propel her to Congress. “I just couldn’t watch it anymore. I thought, fuck it, I’m going to run.” From our politics issue:

Huge week here @wired.com as we're rolling out our Politics Issue. First up, check out this cover, which we're also posting all over cities across the US.

Reporting members of the UC Berkeley community to the government is reminiscent of the McCarthy era, when lives and careers were ruined merely because a person’s name showed up on a list.

It's so easy to get lost in despair right now. Big plug for angry exertion. Walking, running, lifting, punching the air. All fair game.

Screenshot since it won't embed. You can follow this Palestinian journalist on Instagram @nahed_hajjaj99. This is a baby, whose leg was nearly severed in an explosion. There is a graphic video to this too. It's also horrific. It's also shocking and tragic. We're living in a fucking nightmare.

NEW: Right-wing extremists and an anonymously run website are targeting people for allegedly celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder - and posting identifying details about people accused online. Some of those targeted are now getting death threats. read @davidgilbert.bsky.social:

Every time the Apple event cut back to Tim Cook, I couldn’t help but think about his recent visit to the White House and the utter sycophancy of his demeanor, as well as all the other tech CEOs. www.wired.com/story/tech-c...

Sometimes you're just having a Monday morning and then Sam Cooke comes on and you're having a religious experience instead.

Tried ChatGPT for the first time. Went in guns blazing with questions about energy usage and ethics. Came out with a new vegan cream cheese recipe to try. We're probably all doomed.

In the name of "defending women," I could now be turned away from care as a veteran woman.

Get yourself a man who, even though he goes to work at 5am for an increasingly authoritarian state, will set a second pot of coffee to go off right before you wake up so it's nice and hot.

NOAA has long been in the crosshairs for Trump. Back in 2017 he nominated former AccuWeather CEO Barry Myers to head the agency. Myers had previously lobbied to restrict the National Weather Service, part of NOAA, from providing weather forecasts for free to the American public.

Me filing my long ass drafts to my editor

Among everything else, what a shitty fate, to have national systems of support dismantled by two men who have never once changed a diaper.

My husband is a federal worker, a disabled veteran, a loving father and stepfather of three. He's won multiple awards for streamlining processes, improving systems, and all around busting his ass.

I've just learned that cranberries are not actual berries and GODDAMNIT why are berries so full of lies and deceit, how hard is it to have fruit standards Fuck it, I'm making the call here Nothing is a berry anymore Everything is a fucking legume now Cranberries are Bog Peanuts Deal with it

Jesus H.. this is very bad.

Really happy to have a non-bot-infested, non-toxic platform on which to anxiously obsess over a breaking news event again. But also, please be safe and heed warnings. It's always better to over prepare. Nature does not give two shits about us tiny humans. #tsunami

Thanks so much for the nod @longreads.com !

It was such a treat getting to visit Martha Wells and her lovely family and found family earlier this year. She’s well known now for her iconic Murderbot series, but Martha endured a number of heartbreaking trials over the course of her career as a working writer. She’s got some true grit.

This is Trump’s FCC pick. By threatening to yank broadcast licenses, he is hoping the media companies obey in advance and won’t say critical things about Trump. It’s a fascist tactic.

This piece is absolute dreck -- the prose so purple it's suffering from near-fatal strangulation -- AND it manages to elide whether McCarthy was having sex with a 16-year-old runaway from foster care. Demerits all around and also jesus christ www.vanityfair.com/style/story/...

Just got a news alert starting with "Sir David Attenborough" and had a minor heart attack, but EVERYTHING IS FINE. He just hates AI. Thanks for that Google News.

Rewatching Quark Science, the space docu-series with Jim Al-Khalili, and I really recommend it for these times. Do you know how many freaking stars there are out there? Up to one septillion (that's one followed by 24 zeros). It's a fact that both existentially terrifies me and makes me less sad.

During the first Trump regime, I really thought it was impossible to satirize American politics. Now I'm certain we can. We've built up our satire infrastructure, the parody reserves are full, and we are going to mock the shit out of this thing. Start your engines. theonion.com/heres-why-i-...

Switching back and forth between a book on the Weimar Republic and a spicy pirate dystopia is just like a normal way to be processing everything, yes?

woohooooooooooooo find us here @wireddotcom.bsky.social

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Fun how we're all getting to know the soon-to-be additions to Trump's Burn Book c. 2026. Oh sorry I meant to say cabinet picks.

the moral arc of the universe bends towards justice but also the universe is infinite so youre fucked I guess

Sitting here 8 months pregnant (with a girl) and having to go through this all stone cold sober.

My husband and I's next date night is going to be seeing Gladiator II, and guess which one of us is excited about this ridiculous bucket? YOU BET YOUR ASS IT'S ME.

My saddest day as a fact checker.
