"Trump sent a fundraising email featuring a dead soldier's casket...who was killed in a reckless war that Trump himself started. This is the most disgraceful thing I have ever seen." - @TVietor08 bluevirginia.us/2026/03/satu...

Heated Rivalry stars Hudson Williams & FranΓ§ois Arnaud issued a joint statement condemning hateful comments online, writing: β€œDon’t call yourself a fan if you share racist/homophobic/biphobic/misogynist/ageist/ableist/parasocial/bigoted comments of any kind.

Listen to the ages: 14m. 17m. 22m. 6y. Pregnant women unconscious. Seizing.

These are 911 calls from ICE’s Dilley detention center. When babies keep leaving in ambulances, that isn’t care. It’s a crisis behind fences.

Preserve evidence. protect families. demand review.

We are a secular democracy. If you don't like the freedom of religion, you are welcome to move somewhere else.

Statement from Attorney General Jay Jones on Misleading Mailers Targeting Black Voters

Richmond, VA – Attorney General Jay Jones released the following statement regarding deceptive mailers being sent to Black voters about Virginia’s redistricting referendum.

β€œAs Virginia’s first Black Attorney General, I take very seriously the history that is being invoked in these mailers. Reports indicate that a group opposing the redistricting referendum has sent materials to Black voters that misuse imagery from the Civil Rights Movement and even invoke Jim Crow while falsely suggesting the measure threatens Black representation.

My parents and grandparents lived through the reality of Jim Crow in Virginia. They experienced firsthand what it meant when the law and the political system were used to silence Black voices. That history is not a political prop, and it should never be exploited in a misleading attempt to confuse voters.

Virginians deserve honest information about the choices before them. Invoking the pain and sacrifice of the civil rights movement while spreading misleading claims about this referendum disrespects the very people who fought to secure the right to vote and have their voices heard.”

This same argument can be extended to excluding black characters, to excluding women characters from certain roles, to any form of bigotry you can imagine.

It is explicitly agreeing to reproduce the existing system of oppression and bragging about it in the newspaper

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

Daily Beast article with the headline: "Trump Callously Dismisses More Military Deaths as β€˜the Way It Is’"

Disregarding these deaths as just β€œthe way it is” is a slap in the face to our men and women in uniform and anyone with a loved one in the military. He should be ashamed.

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Aren’t Getting Help from the State Department β€œPlease do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East β€” but the State Dept is not helping them do it.

We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

Every Member of Congress needs to understand that the upcoming War Powers Resolution vote will be a defining vote β€” just like the Iraq War vote that defined a generation of politicians.

But our elected officials won’t understand how significant the vote is unless they hear and feel the outrage now.
