Having used my US-issued passport as ID to vote in Arkansas, the SAVE act isn't going to work. Poll worker asked, "Don't you have a driver's license?" and looked confused as she shuffled through every page to find the photo page.

Chris Milligan, who held the most senior career position at USAID during the last Trump administration, said Monday that there “really hasn't been” an earthquake response in Myanmar from the U.S. That lack of response, Milligan went on to say, could have significant foreign policy consequences.

. The world used to look to us for leadership now they look at us like a cautionary tale. We had the chance to elect a competent, decent president but millions either stayed home or chose chaos. Now, the ‘land of the free’ is run by a corrupt, orange wannabe dictator. Well done. .

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

“Christian Zionism is not limited to a specific group, such as evangelicals, or a specific region, such as the United States. Its danger lies in the fact that it is supported by many across most countries of the world,” said the Rev. Mitri Raheb.

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago. In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

What an absolute nightmare. A high school student saw his friends crash their Cybertruck and rushed to help, but was only able to rescue one of them because the car's doors would not open from the outside. He watched his three other friends burn to death. oaklandside.org/2025/03/18/c...

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement. Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

If apartheid was wrong in South Africa, it is wrong in Israel. If ethnic cleansing was wrong in Bosnia, it is wrong in Palestine. If genocide was wrong in Rwanda, it is wrong in Gaza. There is no principled way to support human rights in one context while excusing their violation in another.

Texas is probably going to pass school vouchers this session. They're also a giant scam to give rich people an extra $10,000 a year. I break down the numbers: thebarbedwire.com/2025/03/13/t...

Though this latest study shows a stabilizing religious composition in America, Pew researchers project a decline in religiousness in the future. “For lasting stability to take hold in the U.S. religious landscape, something would need to change,” the report explains.

In Arkansas, Alan Clarks bill passes committee to allow over the counter sales of ivermectin. Might as well put sudafed back over the counter so meth heads can make meth. Or how about putting a "do it yourself" surgery kit out there? Don't let them legislate your healthcare. This is NOT normal!
