Shameful

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?

The energy we need to send fascism back into hiding.

Any mainstream media coverage of this? The depth of corruption is staggering.

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

"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!

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

Support these data centers: SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, BOOKSTORES

Happy National Library Week! 💙📚

Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.

Lot of people on the right crying about the Virginia redistricting vote.

We told you this would happen while you were celebrating the illegal off-cycle seat grab in Texas.

Stop playing stupid games if you don’t want to win stupid prizes.

Exactly. Easy enough to say aloud, "Which indigenous tribal nation are you registered with, then?" and walk away. 📢Speak Out‼️

Exactly. "So you two are indigenous, you know, native American?" Easy enough to say out loud in situations like that, and then walk away.

Yep, this is the part they never say out loud. The opposite of woke is asleep.

💯 truth:

We need to bring back Payphones/free public phones. This is the third time a kid has come up to me asking to use my phone to call their parents bc they dont have their phone for whatever reason and their parent forgot about early dismissal.

All Texans deserve water.

Wall Street and Big Tech are coming for our water across Texas. They want to monopolize it for their own greed.

Sign our petition if you agree Texas water should be for Texans, not Wall Street vultures >>

Smells 🐠 🐟

At the recent candidate forum, I spoke about the importance of ensuring children and adults with special needs and disabilities have access to the resources they deserve.

That means investing in healthcare, strengthening education systems, and creating real opportunities for independence.

We are showing up and shouting out against the administration's policies. #Salisbury, #maryland #delmarva #resist. #indivisible .
We are a blue dot in a deep red area that is becoming bluer everyday thanks to the courage and determination of activists and candidates who speak for all people.

We’re almost ready to announce more endorsements as part of our largest-ever Democratic primary program — because the pro-democracy movement deserves leaders who are just as committed to defeating fascism as the activists out in the streets.

Parents of the 168 children murdered by the US government have written to Pope Leo. They wrote of their children and their deep grief.
They thanked him for being a voice for peace.
Meanwhile silence from the White House.
But there is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.

8 children between the ages of 1 and 14 are dead after a mass shooting in Louisiana, police say Authorities in Louisiana say a gunman killed eight children in domestic-related shootings at two different homes in the city of Shreveport.

The Louisiana shooting of 10 this morning is the worst mass shooting since January 2024. Shreveport is Mike Johnson’s district and the useless fraud only sent “thoughts and prayers”. apnews.com/article/shre...

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

WAKE UP!

Pete Speaks Live in Tulsa, Oklahoma YouTube video by Pete Buttigieg

However you've lined up politically in the past, if you're worried about where our country is headed, you belong in this conversation.

Here are my full opening remarks from last night in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thankful to the people of Oklahoma for such a warm welcome back.

10 children were shot today in Shreveport, LA and 8 of them died. The police chief just doesn’t know how something like this could ever happen. But I think he knows exactly how something like this could happen and it has to do with the > 393 million guns in this country w/ very little regulation.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.
