New Gas-Powered Data Centers Could Emit More Greenhouse Gases Than Entire Nations A WIRED review of permits for data center projects using natural gas and linked to OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and xAI shows they could emit more than 129 million tons of greenhouse gases per year.

We could just ... not let them do this.

If NFL franchises can afford to pay their on-field talent millions of dollars to play a game, they can fund their own stadiums.

Or publicly funded elections.
Kill Citizens United
Make candidates run on their records or proven skills for the job.

Our elected representatives spending 4-6 hours of every "work" day fundraising for themselves and/or their party.
The people's work is not getting done.
Publicly funded elections would eliminate the need to fund raise while "on the clock".

This is absolute corruption, in case anyone was wondering.

At no point should elected officials be involved designing their own electoral boundaries.

Especially in their own favour.

Win by doing a good job, not by stealing the voices of the electorate.

Tesla just unlocked sales to 50,000+ government agencies It marks a significant step in expanding Tesla's presence in the public sector, where procurement processes have traditionally slowed electric vehicle adoption.

That desire you have to put a Trump banner in your yard? That's the first symptom of TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome.

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.

This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.

One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.

Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

So Mayor @mayor.nyc.gov is refusing to attend the Met Gala (where rich folk show off their riches) because folks like Bezos refuse to pay fair taxes and he doesn't want to hob nob with the robber barons.
THAT is leadership.

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

As people celebrate 4/20, let’s be honest about the contradiction: In many states, marijuana is legal. In too many lives, the consequences are still permanent. People are still carrying records. Still locked out of jobs, housing, and opportunity - for doing what is now sold legally in storefronts. That’s not justice. That’s hypocrisy. State laws have changed, federal law hasn’t. And thus: Small businesses are squeezed. Research is restricted. A growing industry is taxed and regulated in some places - generating real revenue - while the communities most harmed by prohibition are still waiting to be restored. We should be building a fair, well-regulated national framework that de-schedules, taxes responsibly, expands research, and reinvests in the very communities that paid the highest price. Progress has been made - because people fought for it. But we are not done. 4/20 shouldn’t just be a celebration. It should be a call to action. Expunge records. End the disparities. Empower small businesses Pass comprehensive federal reform.

“Ready for some bullshit? You paid the the higher prices… They raised prices on you to cover the tariffs, kept prices high, and now they get the refund.

Also: 88 of the largest US corporations paid zero income tax in 2025.”

LOL and eww!

Who knew his brain worm talks?

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

He really is the bottom shelf of the Liquor Cabinet isn't he.
