Tennessee GOP Intro Bill To Kill Women Who Get An Abortion Here's an update on the bill, on the men responsible, and how you can contact them to stop this bill

Under TN law, homicide can carry the death penalty.

GOP HB 570/SB 738 says life begins at fertilization and folds abortion into homicide statutes.

Opening the door to capital punishment for TN women & doctors.

Here are the 5 white men behind it and how you can help stop it from advancing.

ICYMI on Washington’s Birthday yesterday, I went on Unsung History to talk about George Washington, slavery, and public memory.

Billionaire Peter Thiel says that America is similar to the Weimar Republic "Liberalism has exhausted itself... Democracy, whatever it may be, has exhausted itself... Therefore, we need to start talking far beyond the Overton window."

Talking openly about this in public too, so I think it’s time to ask ourselves what we collectively want to do in response to a billionaire class that is not embarrassed about declaring themselves kings.

Marco Rubio just flew to Budapest to deliver a speech in which he provided a full endorsement of Viktor Orbán in the upcoming Hungarian elections.
Here is the letter he signed in 2019 warning about Hungary's "downward democratic trajectory" under Orbán

Two great people and fine Democrats - @bethmacy.bsky.social and @tomperriello.bsky.social - will likely be running against each other for the VA06 Democratic nomination. Let's hope it stays 100% postive, with each candidate making the case FOR his/her candidacy... bluevirginia.us/2026/02/mond...

Utterly unacceptable in a democracy. In a sane world, House Republicans would be drafting impeachment articles today and Senate Republicans would be preparing for a trial to convict and remove him from office

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

#TrumpTrainWreck

What the fuck...Keep up, my dude...

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed.

ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.

9 TOTAL.

ABOLISH ICE.

Alexander Vindman announces his run for Senate. I'm already getting texts asking for $$

While 86% of genocide scholars, ICC, ICJ, UN, Amnesty, Jewish scholar Omer Bertov, Israeli orgs like B'TSalem, & Lemkin Inst ALL confirm Israel IS committing genocide—Vindman remains a genocide denier

No thanks

The Legislation Upon winning a general election, a Reform government under Prime Minister Nigel Farage will: 1) Leave the ECHR 2.) Repeal the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. 3.) Pass The Illegal Migration (Mass Deportation) Bill: This Bill will: Create a legal duty to remove illegal migrants for the Home Secretary The Bill opens with a blunt obligation for the Home Secretary: "The Secretary of State shall ensure the removal from the United Kingdom of each person who does not have extant leave to remain and is not an Irish citizen or otherwise protected by regulations made under this Act." The following parts of the legislation are introduced on an emergency basis, with an in-built sunset clause after 5 years: Disapply the 1951 Refugee Convention, the UN Convention Against Torture, the Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking Convention (ECAT) Derogation is justified under the Vienna Convention doctrine of state of necessity: Britain faces a national emergency in which uncontrolled illegal migration undermines public order. These treaties will otherwise be used by activist judges to frustrate deportations, even after the repeals of the HRA and ECHR. Create Detention Power Without Hardial Singh Constraints This means illegal migrants can be detained until they are deported. Activist lawyers routinely use Hardial Singh to secure their client's bail, after which the client absconds. If you came to the UK illegally, you are ineligible for asylum. End of story All asylum claims will become inadmissible if made by a person within the Act's scope. If you came to the country illegally, you are ineligible for asylum in the UK. This strips the Home Office, the immigration tribunals and the higher courts of jurisdiction to even consider claims. A claim that cannot be considered cannot suspend removal and therefore, cannot delay a flight. Re-entering after deportation and destroying ID becomes a serious criminal offence Re-entry after deportation will be…

The Operational Plan We will create an enforcement unit called UK Deportation Command, including an Illegal Migrant Identification Centre - harnessing cutting edge data fusion A Reform government will create a cutting edge enforcement data centre to relentlessly identify and detain all illegal migrants in the UK. Using powers granted by the new legislation, it will automatically share data between the Home Office, NHS, HMRC, DVLA, banks and the police. It will power bulk warrants, including mandatory biometric capture during any police encounter. Each power addresses a failure mode observed over the past decade - for example, banks and GP surgeries unaware of a customer's status, or overstayers slipping through because a warrant covered only a single property. Secure Immigration Removal Centres (SIRC) will be built rapidly to detain up to 24,000 Detention capacity for up to 24,000 will be created within 18 months. The Home Office will build Secure Immigration Removal Centres. This will be modular accommodation built in remote parts of the country. Conditions are basic but not punitive: prefabricated two-person rooms, canteen catering, on-site medical suites. Robust perimeters and internal movement controls prevent escapes. This enables detention-on-arrest: no more bail. This capacity would allow for up to 24,000 illegal migrants to be deported per month. Initial Voluntary Return Window A six-month Assisted Voluntary Return window precedes large-scale raids. Illegal migrants will be offered a financial incentive to self-deport. An app will be launched to facilitate this. The Deportation Flights The Home Office will scale up charters to 5 flights per day. To guard against last-minute aircraft unserviceability, the RAF will keep one Voyager aircraft on six-hour 'hot-spare' readiness. If a commercial charter breaks down, detainees can still be flown out that night, preserving operational integrity. The legal reset will mean activist lawyers will no longer be able preven…

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

The administration that spent the first half of 2025 telling us there was nothing wrong with coordinating literally classified war plans on Signal now is saying that it believes it’s a crime to post publicly available information on Signal.

i say this as someone with at least a mild background in cybersecurity — tiktok is now trump/fedgov spyware. you need to delete your account and app ASAP. just because the app isn‘t open doesn’t mean they won’t be harvesting your personal data to target you. queer folx get the fuck off that app

B is for Bravo Class Submarine

The Russian/Soviet Project 690 submarine, known in NATO by the reporting name BRAVO (phonetic alphabet for B), was an unusual training submarine. It did have two torpedo tubes (of different sizes) so could perform a backup combat role. 4 built

A is for Alfa

Russian (Soviet) Pr.705 Alfa class submarine.

(Alfa, spelt with an F, is phonetic alphabet for A, so the NATO code name is A-class but no one says it that way any more.

Some key statements of the President of #Ukraine at the World Economic Forum 2026 yesterday:

◾️”Just last year,here in Davos,I ended my speech with the words: 'Europe needs to know how to defend itself.'A yr has passed -nothing has changed.We’re still in a situation where I must say the same words"

Greenland doesn’t need to be “owned” to be defended.After allied pushback and market signals, the conversation is shifting toward a long-term security framework & possibly limited U.S. basing rather than sovereignty.Strategic patience matters. My take on @cnn.com with Kasie Hunt youtu.be/izt5_r6kaxQ

The Convicted FElon once again stated about being a dictator.

Yeah, she showed up to the PWC Dems Re-org meeting with business cards identifying herself as an "independent." GTFO with that bullshit.

Far-right-Republican Julie Perry, who has lost previous races for House of Delegates and State Senate, now is aiming to take on Rep. Suhas Subramanyman (D-VA10). LOL, riiiiight.

"Failing-up" is exactly right; what a joke! LOL bluevirginia.us/2026/01/wedn... h/t @aaronyohai.bsky.social @jaredserre.bsky.social

Russians are very happy with the situation around Greenland.

Russian propagandist Solovyev says that territorial ownership of Great Britain and France should be reviewed.

🚨A new poll by YouGov shows most Britons (55%) would support expelling US military forces from UK bases if Trump seizes Greenland👇

Canada’s military has modeled its first U.S. invasion scenario in over a century, The Independent reports. The plan involves asymmetric tactics and European support, reflecting strained ties with Trump’s U.S. #Canada
