The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.

Local Georgia woman charged with murder after taking abortion pills and giving birth in hospital By Madison Foglio, Action News Jax March 12, 2026 at 9:54 pm EDT non-shortened link https://www.actionnewsjax.com/news/local/georgia-woman-charged-with-murder-after-taking-abortion-pills-giving-birth-hospital/6GA7IHO7YNBCLC24BXHHBAV6XI/
Horrific. Georgia police charged a woman with murder after she allegedly used misoprostol. Hospital may have reported her.
@pregnancyjust.bsky.social calls it “an unprecedented murder charge for an alleged abortion, even though no law in the state of Georgia permits such a charge." bit.ly/46W2Ezb
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

This is crucially important point.
1) "No quarter" is indeed specifically war-crime term
2) Under Geneva Conventions, after sinking an enemy ship, the attackers must "take all positive measures" to find and rescue any survivors. Text in next post
No evidence US sub did so after attack, AFAIK
1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

If you took your kid to the doctor recently for any reason, there's a one in five chance you walked away with an off-label prescription. Nearly half of all pediatric prescriptions are off-label.
Over five million people protested against the regime in June.
More than seven million people took to the streets in October.
March 28 will be even bigger, with nearly 3,000 events already on the No Kings Day map. Be part of the largest protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.

After slashing SNAP & Medicaid, Trump is using his Iran War to line the pockets of military contractors.
I'm reminded of the words of MLK:
"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."
"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth insists that 'we, of course, never target civilian targets,' but large-scale bombing raids often hit and kill civilians, including children. This is one reason that it is immoral, as well as illegal, to launch wars of aggression."

the problem is that almost all Democrats are economic conservatives. They've all been told they have to address "affordability" and the only tool they have to do that is tax cuts.
This needs to be a much, much bigger story than it is.
I’m genuinely interested in how long MAGA types will put up with this before they hit a breaking point, but let’s face it: at that point, they’ll probably figure out a way to blame it on Democrats.
Every time Trump gets on the phone with a new reporter we’re hearing the weirdest mix of a misremembered classified briefing video the CIA makes for him, part of a text he just got from Lindsey Graham, and the last three nouns he heard on Fox News.
I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power
