A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

This was pre-planed by trump to own Gaza. Netanyahu was tasked with demolishing it. Done. 70,000+ people were murdered in the process: I hope that he understands that what he is suggesting is ethnic cleansing and should never even be whispered as a wish.

They’re leveling Gaza right now based on several reports by those on the ground. There are videos, but I want them to be confirmed first.

Without a doubt, this calls for an independent international investigation. I certainly do not trust the Trump administration, and I do not know enough about Colombia’s public media apparatus to trust them either.

Executive summary: the US killed at least 3 Colombian fishermen who’d put up a distress flag. In Colombian waters

Jo Carducci yesterday:
Look around.
Every corner of this country is awake.
People flooding the streets not out of hate, but out of love—for each other, for freedom, for the idea that we still matter.
They want us to be afraid.
To stay home.
To be quiet.
We refuse.
This is what democracy looks like.

the crowd sizes are obviously the highlight here but the fact that *this* is the public statement of the NYPD does not bode well for the regime. or, put another way:

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 1d

ZERO arrests at No Kings in NYC. (And the NYPD isn’t notorious for being sympathetic with people anti-Trump.)

This proves what shameless liars Speaker Mike Johnson & Karoline Leavitt are to slander the participants as violent anarchists.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.
