Bill to require factual teaching about US Capitol attack clears Va. General Assembly - WTOP News The Virginia measure would dictate what Virginia’s public schools can instruct pupils regarding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

It's wild that it needs to be a law, but I'm glad it passed.

Opinion | War and Peace Cannot Be Left to One Man β€” Especially Not This Man

The Iranian regime has been repressive & we oppose it. But it’s clear this is a war of choice carried out without Congess. We oppose this war & ask Congress to pass the Massie-Khanna war powers resolution. Meanwhile we pray tor our armed forces & all in harm’s way. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/o...

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

Martini in student's lunchbox prompts Georgia police to warn parents: 'That is NOT Apple Juice' β€œThat is a whole β€˜Parent had a long night’ starter pack,” read the tongue-in-cheek warning from local PD along with a picture of the canned martini that was packed in a child's lunch.

I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day | Anonymous Objectification, hate, rape threats: the politicians debating online abuse mean well, but to truly understand, they need to see what I see

The SAVE Act is Christian Nationalism in Action Gendered Burdens and the Right to Vote

New from @pamherd.bsky.social at Can We Still Govern?:
The SAVE Act is a truly extreme voter suppression bill, but in ways that might surprise you. White Christian Nationalism is driving the bill more than a cynical focus on maximizing GOP vote share. 🧡

Being a person who procrastinates is often very negative, but it does allow you the profound pleasure of finally making the recipe you have repeatedly bought ingredients for and then not made.
