The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says it has been “inundated” with more than 200 calls across dozens of military installations, including 110 complaints filed between Saturday morning and Monday evening.
On March 10, digital security specialist Robert Flummerfelt will discuss safer alternatives to "big tech" cloud services, communications software, operating systems, and more.
The end game for Israel in the war on Iran, says @seamus-malekafzali.com, is they want “a state that is incapable of defending itself, a state that is no longer sovereign.”
DHS has built a national police force with massive surveillance capabilities — which it could use to interfere with our elections.

Prison-style free speech censorship is coming for the rest of us: The government wants to make it illegal to possess literature it deems dangerous

“There is no thought process into what any of this means long term,” said one official. “It’s not coordinated regime change. It’s just ‘bomb them until they’re less of a threat.’”

I don't know that I've read a better piece on the danger of online age-verification than @taylorlorenz.bsky.social's piece for @theintercept.com.
The government, in concert with AI companies, is openly bragging about using mass surveillance to crush dissent.
And we're agreeing to given them more?
"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."
This is chilling. But political and military leaders do not need to share eschatological commitments to enact End Times. The U.S. and its allies have also unleashed apocalyptic destruction without a driving religious belief in Jesus’s return @theintercept.com. theintercept.com/2026/03/05/i...

It would be a mistake to take these chilling End Times invocations as some skeleton key to understanding the undergirding reason behind Trump’s reckless death-dealing in Iran. The US, Israel-led decimation of the region is overdetermined. @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2026/03/05/i...
A military watchdog has been “inundated” with complaints that officials are using end-times Christian rhetoric to justify war.
"I am proud that our movement pushed our incumbent to better reflect our deeply held values and convictions. It’s up to us as an entire district to demand that our Representative deliver on her promises," said Allam in a statement.
Nida Allam urges progressives to continue holding Rep. Valerie Foushee's feet to the fire after conceding on Wednesday. Allam lost the contentious primary by just over 1,000 votes.

The House of Representatives is set to vote on a war powers measure today that faces long odds, in part because a small group of pro-Israel Democrats have introduced competing legislation. theintercept.com/2026/03/04/i...
