Trump bankrupted the farmers through his idiotic tariffs and now he’s going to give them your tax money to make up for his abject stupidity.

It’s going to be up to us to reject the tech bro surveillance state.

Larry Ellison, the world’s 2nd-richest man, predicts an AI surveillance state where “we’re constantly recording & reporting everything.”
Are we headed toward a future where every call, text, email & search is tracked by billionaires?
That's not democracy. It's authoritarianism.

Goodbye bad tech bros.
Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are both immigrants from outside the US who are taking our tax dollars and making themselves rich by spying on us and funding people who lie to us. They need to be removed from the United States of America.

Profoundly broken, illegitimate system.
There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Montanans Take Note!
Tech and data center construction firms are constantly looking for the path of least resistance, so it's great to see so many communities throw up obstacle after obstacle to make things difficult.
chaser: after local outcry against a massive proposed AWS data center near Tucson (yes, in the desert!), developers agreed to use a less water-intensive cooling system.
AWS has now backed out because "its operations aren't compatible" with the less water-intensive option.
