"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park."
The city’s notification in English reached only 40 people living within 500 feet. Activists worked in English, Chinese, Spanish & more!
An anonymous donor pledged a $3 million donation to Arkansas’ public television station to help keep PBS programs in the state, the network’s foundation announced Tuesday. #BlackskyNews arkansasadvocate.com/2026/04/21/a...
Public pension funds in over half of U.S. states hold billions of dollars in Palantir stock, according to @Sludge.
Public workers in several of these states, like Maine, New Jersey, New York, and Oregon, are protesting the fact that their pension funds are being funnel to this dangerous company.
I'm not surprised. I'd love to see the numbers for voters over 45, since we're the ones who tend to show up.

CA voters, I BEG you to do the most basic of research.
Don’t vote based on what someone else tells you. I know it’s more work but even just a few minutes looking around at someone’s record will tell you if they’re even remotely capable of the job.
They are never supposed to fight fire with fire politically according to the MSM. Only one side needs to abide by 'norms, rules and decorum.'
For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.
Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
I used up all my data so I was forced to listen to the anime songs i have downloaded on my phone from a decade ago 🤣🤣🤣
The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.
North Carolina ICE arrests continue at fast pace after Border Patrol surge in Charlotte. ICE arrested about 2,300 people over 3 months, hitting monthly records higher than before surge. ICE credits HB318 with making arrests easier. (Via Caitlin McGlade) www.newsobserver.com/news/politic... #ncpol
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?
This is a wonderful decision for Pennsylvania! And calling abortion a fundamental right is a satisfying slap in the face to the extremists on the Supreme Court.
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
I need you all to remember ICE is still destroying families and assaulting people daily.
Don't forget to keep protesting.
The YES has won in Virginia; voters approved the constitutional amendment to adopt Dems' congressional gerrymander.
This is likely to deliver a 10-1 (Dem) congressional delegation in November, compared to 6-5 (Dem) now.
The remaining obstacle: State supreme court will be weighing in still.
I don’t have children and one of my top 3 red button issues is that children should get free, substantial food at school
BREAKING: The so called 'SAVE' Act has FAILED in the Senate and will not become law.
I wrote this piece on how in reality, this is the Voter Restriction Act to prevent women from voting. It is fascism and would have installed Trump as a permanent dictator. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-save-a...
This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order banning state employees from using insider info to bet on prediction market apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, warning the unregulated boom “opens the door to insider trading and abuse.”
BREAKING: A federal appeals court has upheld a Texas law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom.
Students' right to be free from religious indoctrination is protected by the Constitution. We won't stop fighting.
Cortez Masto to Warsh: In 2007, you said 'subprime mortgages have gotten a bad name.' You said you have no regrets. How can we trust that you're accurate now when you were wrong then?
🚨BREAKING: Pro-voting groups sued the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Tuesday to block its bid to build a national voter database using private voter data from every state. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Fun fact: no one can stop me from reading three different books at the same time, and they can't stop you either.
flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

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.
BREAKING: We’re suing to stop the DOJ from abusing voters’ sensitive personal information.
This scheme to stockpile Americans’ private voter data threatens our privacy and opens the door to wrongful purges.
The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...
A proud Minnesotan through and through.
10 years after his passing, I’m joining folks around the world in honoring Prince by listening to Purple Rain today.
Never forget that, while the arrival of fascism is always blamed on 'the people', it is clear that it is those who had most power to stop it who refused to act decisively
The enabling of fascism takes many shapes and forms but it is predominantly and unsurprisingly a top down process
