Is there any valid reason someone would go through so much effort to protect the KKK? Dark days indeed

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.

NEW: I've been shocked by some of the numbers I've been seeing on behind-the-meter power plants for data centers, so I did a little math.

less than a dozen gas plants being built to power data centers for big tech companies could emit a maximum of nearly 130 million tons of CO2e each year (!)

the reform agenda necessary to even try to begin undoing the damage we are currently suffering will not be doable under the current Supreme Court

it is the linchpin upon which everything else rests, and without addressing it the next admin will be a failure

✊ NYC has a rich history of protest, a right enshrined in the Constitution.

However, the City Council just passed Intro 175-B limiting our First Amendment rights around schools or places deemed “educational sites.”

@mayor.nyc.gov protect NYers’ rights to make their voices heard. VETO Intro 175-B!

What an image from @fractenberg.bsky.social of Council member Chi Ossé being taken to a local hospital after his arrest in Brooklyn this morning. Ossé was protesting the eviction of a constituent who is a victim of alleged deed theft. More details here: www.thecity.nyc/2026/04/22/b...

The Plot to Effectively Ban Abortion Nationwide Is Unfolding Before Our Eyes Lawmakers and activists are working to shutter clinics and restrict access to abortion pills. The end result would be catastrophic.

Shuttering clinics is a backdoor ban on abortion as well as birth control, as I wrote in @autonomynews.co

"If hundreds of clinics close, it will be harder to get an abortion appointment—and it could also be harder to get low- or no-cost birth control to prevent pregnancy."

Why is notify NYC texting me about an “electric air taxi” fly over. What even is an electric air taxi? Is this not an electric plane or helicopter?

The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.

Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.

In case you think it’s “fun” to get arrested for a cause, let me assure you:

It is not “fun”.

19 of us were arrested & upcharged w/ bogus misdemeanor OGA to repress protest.

Hochul’s operation is clearly bothered. She shouldn’t push Trump’s energy agenda.

3 hrs of metal cuffs (yes, painful)

A Palestinian School Day Ended With Israeli Settlers’ Gunfire. A Boy Was Killed, Just as His Father Was 7 Years Ago Zeteo speaks to witnesses after Israeli settlers kill a 14-year-old Palestinian boy and a 32-year-old man in an attack on a boys school in the occupied West Bank.

"A Palestinian School Day Ended With Israeli Settlers’ Gunfire. A Boy Was Killed, Just as His Father Was 7 Years Ago"

Zeteo speaks to witnesses after Israeli settlers kill a 14-year-old Palestinian boy and a 32-year-old man in an attack on a boys school in the occupied West Bank.

They think you're stupid.

This story deserves more attention. The gunman who killed two at FSU last year, injuring five, asked ChatGPT for advice on how many people one would need to kill for a school shooting to receive media attention, when the campus would be busiest, and how to use his gun.

State AG is investigating.

The Supreme Court found that a school acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people was such a violation of freedom of religion that they had to allow opt outs but now the 5th circuit says kids being exposed to the ten commandments isn't. The law is such a joke.

An immigrant didn't take away people's vaccines, Bobby. You did.

There is an amazing children’s book by Nicola Bayley called Mousehole Cat about this town. (I hadn’t realized it was a real place!)

Federal Cuts Will End Nutrition Education Program for New Yorkers on SNAP - City Limits SNAP-Ed, a federal nutrition education program, is slated to end as its funding will run out at the end of the federal fiscal year in September.

“I didn’t like lettuce before I took the class,” Allison Merlos, 10, said of a nutrition workshop for kids she took last yeear through SNAP-Ed, which is slated to end due to federal cuts. “Now I love it, I can eat five plates of lettuce.” citylimits.org/federal-cuts...

Medical diagnosis is actually one of those cases where machine learning is incredibly useful and can detect patterns that the human eye cannot.

But that relies on having good data, not using a data set that has a bunch of impossible numbers in it

If the pope is gonna go all in on being normal and keeping the weirdos in line, stepping in here would go a long way. This garbage and the no abortion ever shit…

Gonna put this in the seems real bad category.

How is it legal for these assholes to send a pathetic notification letter that ‘as you may have already heard in the news’ my info was hacked LAST YEAR. It takes 6+ months to send a lame form letter does it? Doesn’t help that this particular institution really sucks currently.

Came here to say exactly that. They can’t even pretend to be normal!

Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’ Lebanese health ministry says killing of 91 healthcare workers shows ‘total disregard’ for international law

"In the video taken of the quadruple tap on Wednesday, the frame was frozen on the interior of the ambulances, as the Nabatieh emergency services highlighted that the vehicle clearly contained no weapons."

🧵 This isn't a story about a bad nurse. It's a story about a staffing model that put a new grad on a float pool because Tufts Medicine is hemorrhaging money, because 67% of its patients are on Medicaid, because OBBBA just cut a trillion dollars from the program. (Oh and the CEO took a 32% raise.)

Deep dive on RFK Jr’s new food stamp rules are v confusing.
Hannah Hansen, single mom of four, said her food stamps didn’t cover sweetened wild cherry sparkling water or semisweet chocolate chips for baking, but paid for ultra-processed items like “chips and cookies.” @rachelroubein.bsky.social

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

'Bell removed Romeo and Juliet from his syllabus because “in Act III, Romeo and Juliet have sex, and that falls under this very broadly defined sexuality [topics ban].” He also didn’t teach about Joan of Arc this semester.'

What an actual lack of freedom of speech looks like in universities. 3/3

“Reverse emails,” Jared Kushner corruption edition

He also holds no Senate-confirmed Cabinet or senior government position & employing family as White House advisers violates every norm ever, but this, too, has been erased from the headlines. After years of HUNTER BIDEN, it’s shameful.

A collapse of the AMOC, deemed likely by the turn of the century, wd make agriculture impossible in countries like the UK/Ireland - with polar winters but hotter summers than now, plus droughts - & other huge impacts globally. Won't happen overnight but huge existential risk must spur urgent action👇

I don’t take offense to the desire to have someone LGBTQI in the seat, it’s the assumed pass down to whoever they pick that feels ick, but he’s still likely better than Layla and Leslie. So something to be said about putting rank choice voting to work & ranking Carl second after Lindsay to be safe.
