“TN bill would allow death penalty for women who have an abortion *** The bill “prohibits all abortions from fertilization, without exceptions for rape or incest.”
It’s supported by the president of the Southern Baptist Convention, America’s largest evangelical denomination. 2/20/26 … 1/
One thing that may dramatically shake up our political life on this planet is the advent of a strong new El Niño. (Also our, you know, life life)

"The data from January shows that the nation’s two operating utility-scale offshore wind farms — South Fork Wind and Vineyard Wind — performed as well as gas-fired power plants and better than coal-fired facilities"
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
Alhambra City Hall council meeting.
MAGAs are flooding Twitter in the right wing sphere — trying to create the false impression that their “SAVE Act” is about “common sense universally popular voter ID”. JD Vance, Elon Musk, & Scott Presler are all over this. They claim to have 50 votes so far. We must push back. #NoOnSave
Yes, the GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would also disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my one-page summary below. Tell your Senators “NO on SAVE!” 5/
The GOP blames women for undermining them on issues like abortion & ICE & thus hopes to pass the “SAVE Act,” which will make it harder for married women who changed their last names to vote. But they want you to think it’s about “election integrity”. 1/31/26 #HandmaidsTale 1/
Women who took their spouses’ last names (& others with name changes) could get around the birth certificate problem if they have passports. But not everyone has one. And getting one takes time & $$$. The GOP’s bill doesn’t even offer to cover the expense, making it equivalent to a poll tax.
The GOP wants to “DOGE” our state voter rolls. Their so-called “SAVE Act,” wld require ongoing voter purges using citizenship data from sources such as the DHS’s “SAVE”program & SSA.
It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
'Mr Nobody in Russia' furnishes a deep look at life in Russia under Putin after his invasion of Ukraine. It's a country increasingly like Russia at the time of the death of Stalin, where a whole generation is being groomed for perpetual war against America and Europe.
I should note I've seen multiple examples of this being done with her corpse, it's not just one image.
Just seen Grok putting the body of the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis into a bikini. Digital corpse desecration now available to the public.
Valar Atomics (founded by Isaiah Taylor) is one of the companies building a nuclear reactor for this project with a July 4 deadline. Valar is backed by Day One Ventures, which was founded by Masha Bucher (Drokova), a Russian-born investor living in the US who represented Jeffrey Epstein. 1/
A new Trump program “will fast-track construction of new & untested reactor designs built by private firms, with an explicit goal of having at least 3 nuclear test reactors up & running by…July 4.” Critics worry that the tight deadline & “lack of transparency” are “compromising safety.” 12/17/25…1/
New video analysis by @nytimes.com team breaks down the killing of Renee Good frame by frame from multiple angles and challenges official accounts of what happened. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...
Important work here from the NYT. Ross wasn’t run over. He dropped his cell phone, which he had shifted to his left hand to draw his weapon. And then he shot and killed a person with the gun in his right hand.

The authoritarianism is coming fast now
“We are now facing an urgent choice as to whether we submit to the entrenched hatred and abuse of women as a technological and cultural norm, or whether we fight for an alternative way forward,” @sophiegilbert.bsky.social argues.
More unaccountable thuggery, via the AP Twitter account. After being screamed at not to knee him in the face, the agent...knees him in the face again. See for yourself
One basic lesson from political research is that secret police generally rely on mediocre men willing to do the dirty work of authoritarian regimes in order to advance their careers.

What if I told you that the United States already had a treaty obligation for the mutual defense of Greenland should it come under attack.
Consider: the overwhelm you feel is the signature product of extractive systems that require exponential growth to continue.

When we launched Multisolving Institute in 2021, we called our new endeavor a “think-do tank,” and that felt like a pretty good description at the time. It was a way to affirm that creating a just and sustainable world will take doing, not just thinking.
Filming at an abandoned uranium mine in Arizona. The mining waste is uncontained, open to the winds. Professor Kearfott, University of Michigan, telks me the Geiger counter readings I took here are similar to those remaining around Chernobyl.
