This was one of the formative incidents in my young life. And I watched almost an entire city of people across racial lines absolutely lose their minds. It was the equivalent of a lynch mob and the NY press was leading the way.

An investment.

You know he will.

Almost Half of US Data Centers That Were Supposed to Open This Year Slated to Be Canceled or Delayed The vast majority of data centers scheduled for completion over the next few years have yet to even break ground.

These data centers are delayed because of supply chain problems w/ chips that AI has caused & I wager most of them will never get built because political opposition will kill then before they break ground. Closest thing to poetic justice since Janet Jackson was rocking those box braids.

Justin Fairfax Was A Coward I believed Vanessa Tyson.

Justin Fairfax wanted to be remembered as a rising star. A trailblazer. The second Black man elected statewide in Virginia. He wanted the Emmett Till comparison to stick.

It will not. I will not let it, and neither should you.

I’m sure I don’t need to say how crucial it is to keep this family housed. Together we can do this.

I am wondering if @mayor.nyc.gov is aware that today is #NationalLibrarianDay. A good way to uplift librarians in NYC and all library workers is to pay them more. Stick to your campaign promise and this will be a good start.

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:

Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M

That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.

It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

Doulas are not medical professionals. They're advocates and aids to patients.

Why aren't students protesting?

Why did Confederate groups have tax breaks in the first place?

I need this in my life again.

Stop letting these folks play in your face. Closing your wallets is the easiest and most effective thing you can do.
