Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Just a beautiful story. The way this community has supported Fletcher’s family is just beautiful. May his memory continue to be a blessing ❤️
Your must-read of the day (with tissues):

In the months since Fletcher was fatally shot during at Annunciation Catholic School, the Merkels have clung to everyday relics of their second child’s brief, full life.

Whatever they’re feeling, they’ve learned how large their village has become.
A Minneapolis neighborhood cradles this grieving Annunciation family
Amid never-ending grief after their 8-year-old son’s murder, Fletcher Merkel’s family finds strength in community.

In Shrek, Lord Farquaad was a cruel character with huge insecurities, xenophobia, was deeply prejudiced, deported those he didn't like, and desperately wanted to be king. Donald Trump is President Farquaad. His administration is a horrible joke.

God I loved this show
In the 80s and 90s, every family sitcom did a Christmas special.

The most insane of which was the 1990s family sitcom Dinosaurs (basically a combination of Roseanne and Growing Pains but everyone is a dinosaur) which, for obvious reasons, didn't have Christmas, so they celebrated Refrigerator Day

Welp…fuck Landon Thomas and fuck NYT
incredible to see NYT reporter Landon Thomas over a decade into his time there advising Jeffrey Epstein on how to "fight back" on reporting about his crimes. Tells him to go on TV and "Present evidence that she is lying AND show the world that you are no longer that guy."

Rage. Rage deep within my soul.
Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

About 28 percent of the people the administration has deported have a prior criminal conviction.
Homan: "I can tell you the Trump administration is dedicated to achieving a record deportation, the vast majority being criminal aliens... I'm at the WH working with people like Stephen Miller to come up with strategic policies & plans - how to maintain success & how to get the numbers ever higher"

"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."
