Opinion | War and Peace Cannot Be Left to One Man β€” Especially Not This Man

The Iranian regime has been repressive & we oppose it. But it’s clear this is a war of choice carried out without Congess. We oppose this war & ask Congress to pass the Massie-Khanna war powers resolution. Meanwhile we pray tor our armed forces & all in harm’s way. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/o...

I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day | Anonymous Objectification, hate, rape threats: the politicians debating online abuse mean well, but to truly understand, they need to see what I see

The SAVE Act is Christian Nationalism in Action Gendered Burdens and the Right to Vote

New from @pamherd.bsky.social at Can We Still Govern?:
