Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.
Data centers are straining power grids.
But new research suggests they don’t have to. With the right design, they can generate energy, store it and even reuse waste heat to support nearby communities.
This is a preview of November folks.
People post this NYT piece to prove how gullible and easily manipulated the MSM is. I am the one that interviewed Beck, the day after the 2016 election. I regret not being even more suspicious and cynical and, even more, pushing back on platforming. Especially bc, haha, he warned me.
And now we need to get the NEXT journalist to ask the same question if it wasn't answered. And the next one. And the next one....
Kudos to this journalist. This is *exactly* how you question them – if they don't answer the question, or deflect it, or answer another question, or verbally attack you – you interrupt them and ask it again.
hank green hasn't changed, he's just applying the same essential curiosity he always has and reached tentative and nuanced conclusions which your social circle has deemed verboten to even consider
I suspect (but can’t say with certainty) that the 25-32% crazyfication cohort is resolute and unmovable, and different people for each crazyfied belief. But the “don’t know” group *is* reachable and desparate to learn what is reliable and true.
i think it is cool that the president of the united states routinely slurs black people as biological inferior
“How dare you do what we’ve been doing,” cried the Republican Party. “You know, the thing we did when you went ‘please don’t do this, we’ll be forced to respond in kind, you won’t like it, and it would be better for the country if you didn’t start this.’ Yeah. That. No fair!”
Screenshot of an online opinion article by the Editorial Board. The headline reads, "The Texas gerrymander freakout," with the subheadline, "What's happening in the Lone Star State is not a threat to democracy." The publication date is August 20, 2025.
Screenshot of an online opinion article from The Washington Post by the Editorial Board. The headline reads, "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss," with the subheadline, "The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it."
The WaPo editorial board when Republicans gerrymander in Texas versus when Democrats gerrymander in Virginia.
Still of the view that the biggest risk in this whole mess is widespread hunger in poorer countries leading to political instability.
More than that, the FBI paid tons of informants who infiltrated the Klan.
For one famous example, Gary Thomas Rowe was a paid FBI informant who was present at the murder of Viola Liuzzo.
But there were so many more. By one estimate, in 1965 a full 15% of the Mississippi KKK were paid informants.
Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
Just as Republican politicians never seem to have any sympathy for people suffering from a disease or discrimination until someone in their immediate family feels it, they'll never be opposed to gerrymandering until it darkens their own door.
So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
After Virginia voters weighed in on Tuesday, the redistricting set off by President Trump to help the GOP in the midterms has been countered and possibly surpassed by Democrats. n.pr/48f9GzN
They think you're stupid.
You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂
what does Tulsi even do
Then what is the point of him being AG? Oh, right...protecting Trump. Never mind.
He can’t say no to this because, technically, he was on the clock at the Olympics. We paid for that and there’s video of him getting ripped. So we already have proof of at least one instance.
Agreed
as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:
you brought this on yourselves
you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster
you earned this
Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.
This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.
I need money but i feel like the gold rush is over.
The MAGA movement has pulled together all the nation's dumbest, most credulous, most psycholgically disorderd people into one place. It's just a giant pool of easy marks, begging to be grifted. Usually it's RWers preying on their own -- always wondered why more peole haven't had ideas like this:
Ex-OSU President Ted Carter had a $2 million compensation package, a $50K car allowance, free use of a $3.6 million home, and various high-paying outside board salaries. Yet in the report he's seen asking for reimbursement for Southwest points for a trip to Orlando. I don't understand people, man.
