This fits directly into my concern: BlackRock is now openly tying UK pension savings and institutional capital to large-scale data centre build-outs.
It dovetails with Starmer’s AI Growth Zones policy, which is designed to create deregulated areas where such infrastructure can be built faster.

Sorry to the folks here that I didn't share my book “ By My Ben “published last month, due to BlueSky's obstinacy and its suspension of Palestinian accounts.
But I will share it with you here.❤️

I hope @mommunism.bsky.social will share it too.

About the Author
My name is Joy. I'm a 22-year-old writer from Gaza, currently studying English Literature at the Islamic University of Gaza, which has recently been bombed. I've lived most of my life through war, enduring five conflicts that have stolen my right to live in safety, peace, and love.
I write stories, reflections, and poems. Since I was young, I've been passionate about poetry and literature. Recently, I started my biggest project yet: writing a book documenting everything I've lived through during the ongoing genocide.
I currently live with my mother and four siblings in a shelter, seeking refuge from the constant threat of death due to the violent airstrikes shaking the ground around me. I am my mother's eldest daughter, her close friend, and her supporter (just as she supports me). My father hasn't been with us since we were young; we've always been under our mother's care. I've lost my beautiful, warm home. I've been displaced to over 17 different shelters and locations, each one worse than the last due to the lack of any safe place to go. We face countless struggles, most notably the starvation we endure as part of the siege and strangulation, designed to create a complete cycle of Nazi-like genocide against us.

$47. And that’s if the government isn’t lying about the interest rate. Plus, they will have to prove she intentionally schemed to swindle $47 from the bank - as opposed to just not knowing the difference between a second home and an investment property. Good luck, Lindsay.

The grand jury indictment against New York AG Letitia James accuses her of receiving a lower-cost loan on a home she purchased.

James saved only about $50 a month with lower interest rate, the indictment alleges.

This is the school 'man-of-the-people' Nigel Farage went to.

Fees range from £30,000 to more than £60,000 per year. Hands up if you support your entire family on less.

If you're a working class voter tempted by Reform's neo-fascism, he's laughing his socks off at you. Listen.

"Based of that facial expression, she looks ready to cry ... She just wanted to go to the store."

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

When the far-right started calling us "woke", Democrats should have launched a huge "I am Woke" campaign showing that "woke" means fighting racism with equal rights, that it means fighting for healthcare & average Americans. Now we need a huge "I am Antifa" campaign.
