Rep. Gabby Salinas and Rep. Larry Miller gave as good of remarks as anyone could on why this bill is ludicrous and divisive.

Tell your state rep and senator to vote NO against this genocidal bill. Call or email.

Disgusting and heinous that lawmmakers like Todd wish to waste state resources and funding to legitimize Israeli apartheid and settler-colonialism.
These actions are dangerous and only incite more settler violence against Palestinians who live in the occupied West Bank.

2) This bill ethnically cleanses the occupied West Bank of Palestine by 1. disputing the international name and border, and 2. requires state agencies and documents to rename the West Bank to Judea and Samaria which holds no international recognition nor consensus.

1) TN state legislature government committee pass Rep. Todd’s
HB 1446 "Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act." 14 ayes to 6 nay, 1 PNV, and 2 abstentions (I believe). This bill is problematic for various reasons.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for β€œArmageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been β€œinundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Can think of nothing more cowardly than pressing a button to shoot a missile that will land dozens or hundreds of miles away. Little bottle of water next to your desk. "Yes sir" and all that shit. Walking around saluting each other. Fucking losers. Killers.

Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers More citizens are replanting overseas, drawn by a quality of life made easily affordable by the U.S.’s enviable salaries.

This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country.

Chaya Raichik, who runs the social media account Libs of TikTok, has spent the days following Alex Pretti’s killing doxxing ordinary working people β€” teachers, nurses, school board members β€” for speaking out against federal immigration officials or expressing sympathy for Pretti.

A new report from the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has ranked Israel as the third worst jailer of journalists in the world, behind only China and Myanmar, in a damning indictment of the state’s escalating war on press freedom.

πŸ”΄ Gaza nurse Tasnim al-Hams shares a rare update on her father, Dr. Marwan al-Hams, senior Gaza physician and director of the territory’s field hospitals.

Israeli forces abducted and imprisoned both after separate raids in Gaza in 2025. In testimony to Sahat, Tasnim describes being brought, handcuffed, into an interrogation room to see her father who was seized during a raid in Rafah’s al-Mawasi area on July 21, 2025. 
She says Israeli officers used her presence to pressure him for information. Tasnim also describes her father as gravely ill and emaciated, having lost nearly 24 kilograms. 

She says interrogators sought information on the remains of Israeli soldier Hadar Goldin, whose body has since been transferred to Israel. 

Tasnim was kidnapped on October 5, 2025, from a medical point in Rafah. She was released in late November, but Dr. al-Hams remains imprisoned alongside Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and dozens of other doctors and medical workers held in Israeli prison and torture camps, where leading human rights groups describe daily, systematic torture of more than 10,000 Palestinian detainees.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

The conservative intelligentsia and media-industrial complex has been publicly masturbating about getting to kill people for years now, they are orders of magnitude worse than even the MAGA base. Everybody knows this, it's just politically incorrect to say it.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.

Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

There are lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to Nazi Germany and there are also lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to the post-1850 Fugitive Slave Act U.S. and it's *weird* how people respond with interest to the former but total confusion to the latter

U.S. Attacked Boat With Aircraft That Looked Like a Civilian Plane

Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyrannyβ€”they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?
