Data centers are receiving billions in state tax exemptions.

These centers, many owned by Big Tech giants, are driving up electric bills and sucking up huge amounts of water.

AI is boosting the stock portfolios of the richest Americans while everyone else pays the price.

Mormons murdered native Americans. This genocide has been swept under the rug.

The Mormon church has generally white washed its history to the detriment of many people. They have happened and continue to have the American Indians in the Utah area by not being honest about what happened.

#ProudBlue This is not a surprise given as how the administration is trying to criminalized homelessness. The unhoused are easy pickings; it’s much more likely their disappearance will not be immediately noticed.

The total immorality of this administration is mindnumbing.

in the column this week:

-advocates have confirmed/are investigating the abductions of ~25 unhoused folks by federal agents in chicago (via @katieprout.bsky.social)

-state/local leaders crack down on anti-ice protesters

-civil rights orgs ask chief judge to bar ice arrests at county courthouses

Make It Make Sense: ICE targets Chicago’s homeless community

Plus: state and local leaders crack down on anti-ICE protesters and advocates ask the chief judge to keep ICE out of county courthouses.

No. Conservative policies only help the wealthy and corporations at the expense of everyone else. So they distract people from the problems they are creating with racism.
