yes, although my timing might be wildly different

The evangelicals who think Iran’s protests mean Jesus is returning "Iran will be Christian."

For some Christians, the Iranian protests are more than just a popular uprising; they are the fulfillment of ancient Biblical prophecies that foretell the second coming of the Messiah.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as “Votors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

What a War Powers Resolution Vote on Iran Actually Means While Congress could narrowly pass a resolution, it would likely not have the two-thirds majority needed to overturn a Trump veto.

Any vote on a war powers resolution would be largely symbolic. But members of Congress say the vote is important anyway to make clear their stance on the war.

The Moon, card XVIII from the Rider Waite Smith deck

Tarot Card for March: The Moon
This month's card speaks to us of the illusionary, magical world we live in when we step away from the bright directness of power over, and move into that found when we engage in power-with.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

“They claim they might be looking for smugglers or … cartel members, but that’s not who they’re collecting data on,” EFF’s @Maassive.bsky.social told @CalMatters.org. “(The program) is primarily collecting data on people who live in the region.” calmatters.org/justice/202...

/hattip to @laffingkat.bsky.social for being the first, and most correct, to spot the theme.
That said, I loved the many answers y'all came up with! :-)

This month's theme was "resistance" and my book choices were deliberately not obvious until the end. Resistance takes many forms; not all of us are warriors, but we all can make a positive difference.

Day 27: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein

This is a critical difference between reformers and non-reformers. You need to be willing to look leadership and their lawyers in the face and say “No, I’m going to try something else. You can help me or you can get out of my way.”

This is punitive.

Today’s ritual tip: If you want everyone to step a certain way or do hand/arm/body movements at certain times in the rite, explain and practice with the group before the ritual starts.

What was Bill Pulte’s charity really funding with this mystery donation? It gave $65,000 to a nonprofit that records suggest is an LLC linked to Trump's legal defense.
