This is the desert of the real. The Wachowskis called it. But like Bernie says, no one wants this. Folks are organizing in amazing ways.
Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans.
Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.
Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

The White House is not private property. It does not belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to the people.
I’m introducing legislation to protect the building’s historic character against the president’s bulldozer and Marie Antoinette ballroom.

I’ve been guilty of this too, but when I read people say, even though they’re trying to be nice, like “I disagree with Rob Reiner politically, but I am sad by his loss.”
Why do we always feel the need to talk about whether we agreed with somebody politically or not?

🌹 In honor of Rob Reiner, who's most important work was standing against an inadequate, little man who lives in a constant state of jealousy, as he lowers the bar of humanity into the dirt, so that even he can occasionally clear it.
📌Reiner brought us a lifetime of joy, Trump only endless distress.

You can’t expect a criminal who has no respect for women, the disabled, people of color, our troops, victims of 9/11, LGBTQ+ people, humanity or even his own demon spawn to show respect after someone is brutally murdered. I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this or sat out.

Kaja Kallas: we have to be really clear-eyed. We have one aggressor and one victim. And the one that needs security guarantees is Ukraine, not Russia.
In last 100 years, Russia has attacked at least 19 countries, some as many as three or four times. None of those countries has ever attacked Russia
