Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.

POWERFUL

“The murderers are ICE. They are who we need out of this city. Let us carry on our lives safely and not in fear of being shot. If we help a woman who slips on the ice, as I saw happen earlier today before that man was murdered… let’s say his name, Alex was murdered while he was helping.”

Mass unity. Mass action

Huge coalition forming across America—union workers, clergy, students, neighbors—are taking the next steps to fight back against this regime and 🧊. They are calling for mass unity and for mass action—together we can prevail! Also tell Congress: don’t fund DHS appropriation bill. See 🧵 for script.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Just a remarkable amount of fossil gas involved in US data centre development right now

www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-gre...
xAI — Elon Musk’s AI company that trains and operates Grok — spent 2025 bringing massive compute and power online in record time at its Colossus facility in South Memphis, Tennessee. The campus was able to do that using a hybrid power strategy: direct grid connection paired with massive on-site generation from gas turbines. It comes with a steep environmental cost for local residents forced to breathe the resulting air pollution; Colossus installed at least 20 additional gas turbines this year, with plans to expand even more by early 2026. A similar approach was deployed at the first site under Project Stargate, the network of AI data centers underway by OpenAI, Oracle, and Softbank. The campus in Abilene, Texas, which came online this year, has a grid connection and a newly constructed gas plant. But a second location in Shackelford County, Texas is expected to be completely off-grid, with up to 1.4 GW of gas generators. For companies going behind-the-meter, gas generators and fuel cells are often the technology of choice, mainly because they’re available now and can be a bridge until the grid is less congested. Data centers are also embracing batteries for on-site power, and to secure a faster interconnection. Out West, several projects plan to use gas turbines in the short-term, then explore a mix of energy sources like solar, battery storage, and SMRs to build upwards of 10 gigawatts of capacity later on. Fermi Inc., the startup backed by former energy secretary Rick Perry, claims it will have the country’s largest combined-cycle gas projects at an AI data center campus in Texas. The company made headlines in October for its $16 billion IPO, in part because it doesn’t have any public customers or revenue yet. But in December, Fermi’s share price plummeted by 34% in a single day, after the company said a prospective tenant terminated a $150 million deal to help fund construction. Toby Neugebauer, Fermi’s billionaire CEO, told Business Insider that Amazon wa…

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones. We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn
