🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to force Virginia to provide the DOJ with access to its complete statewide voter registration database. Another victory for Elias Law Group and its clients. DOJ is now 0-14 in these cases. www.democracydocket.com/cases/virgin...

You're looking at a 200 year-old wisteria vine at Byakugou-ji Temple in Tamba, Hyogo, Japan. The delicate pink/purple blossoms create an otherworldly place where magic can happen. But here's an interesting fact: wisteria are in the legume family (Fabaceae). This is a magic beanstalk.

Summer 2015. Several lifetimes ago. A different America. Lindsey Graham, running for president, says this about Joe Biden. The same summer he said Trump would “kill” the GOP with his hateful comments. Several lifetimes ago. A different America.

This should have been a joke... Sad part? It isn't

🇬🇪Parliamentarians from 57 OSCE states have adopted a resolution on Georgia in The Hague. It calls on governments to withhold recognition of any Georgian election result not certified as free and fair by credible observers. Non-recognition is now formal OSCE PA @euosce.bsky.socialpolicy 1/7

It’s 🥹❤️‍🩹

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Is America truly free if police routinely harass and murder people of color for simply existing in public spaces? Are we free to pursue happiness if millions of people are one missed paycheck or hospital visit away from homelessness? Liberty and Justice for who?

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar. Apparently like every day.

Hegseth just fired the Army Chief Gen Randy George. Immediately. Gen George the most competent and experienced combat leaders I have ever encountered. Courage. Integrity. Takes care of soldiers. A government of gangsters.

On @cnn.com this afternoon discussing the war in Iran and the rescue of the downed USAF aircrew.

NEW: The combined US-Israeli force killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and it is unclear who is currently ruling Iran. More in the Iran Update Evening Special Report, February 28, 2026: isw.pub/IranUpdate02...

Another 3 day war?

Iran have been attacked by a nuclear power whose military is vastly superior to theirs. They have no chance of winning & should surrender to avoid escalation that risks WW3 for us all. Apparently that's how this works.

For the first time in league history, the WNBA generated enough revenue in 2025 to trigger revenue sharing with players. Players will receive $8 million. The union will also pay out $9.25 million from revenue generated from its group licensing program. www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

ROGAN: “It’s overwhelming me. Too much fucking madness. We’re about to go to war with Iran. What are these files? How far does this go? What is happening?” Wait til joe rogan finds out he helped get Trump elected 🤷🏼

This is immoral. Trump officials gutted USAID and cut off food aid to refugees. Clinics closed. Warnings poured in and were ignored. Rations collapsed. Children starved to death. 👉🏾Agency staffers even celebrated the cuts with a sheet cake while lifesaving programs were being shut down.👈🏾

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care. Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting. He never returned to her that day. 1/2

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

“The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East have shown that perhaps the most transformative aspect of modern conflict has not been drones or AI, but the power of new, technology-supported learning and adaptation systems.” www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpre...

"Russia’s approach to AI-enabled command and control reflects a decisive shift away from abstract, large-scale modernization concepts and toward solving concrete battlefield problems." An excellent new report from Kateryna Bondar at @CSIS on AI and Russian C2. www.csis.org/analysis/how...

"It is dangerous to dismiss a scenario" www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Newsom: It’s the last stop. There’s no Board of Peace here. You can’t reestablish a new Supreme Court with a billion-dollar tithe and 27 of your friends from overseas. It’s time this guy starts to understand that he cannot operate as an imperial president — that he is subject to the rule of law.

“The main thing we took away from all of this was that we need to work with worst-case scenarios much more than we did before.” A war foretold: how the CIA and MI6 got hold of Putin’s Ukraine plans and why nobody believed them. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Reminder that Russia for the period Jan-Oct 2025 was a net importer of food with exports at 31,5 billion USD and imports at 35 billion USD. This is a first for Russia in recent years. www.ng.ru/economics/20...

Liam and his dad are home. (From @voteinorout.bsky.social )

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week. Go Seahawks.

This is to laugh about and cry about. Laugh that karma is truly working. Cry that so many are willing to sell out their souls.

Happy Australia Day everyone. I am grateful for the many opportunities this amazing country has given me and my family. We are not a perfect country, and have our challenges, but we are always aspiring to get there. It was my privilege to serve it in the Army for so long.

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

The line between law enforcement and war is there for a reason. Blurring it invites legal and strategic fallout.

Not one strategic US advantage that the orange one won't trade away.

Ah, I appear to have once again written my op-ed for the Independent about Europe needing to be ready to face Russia without the support of the United States. It's getting harder and harder to find different words to say it each time. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

Ukrainian Special Forces group during raid operations this Autumn. I respect them and I am thankful for them being out there. I am not brave enough to do this type of job. They get the best tools for the hardest tasks. Immense respect and best of luck brothers!!!

Today on #RemembranceDay, I am thinking about the amazing soldiers I had the privilege to serve with over 35 years in the Army. I am also thinking about the previous generations who served, suffered and sacrificed so much for our freedoms. Lest we forget.

They really think he’s going to send them a $2,000 check, and it’s heartbreaking to see.
