In a big loss for JD Vance and eugenicists everywhere, Viktor Orban is OUT. 🥂
It seems that his fanboy Vance’s visit and endorsement weren’t enough. Or, did it hurt him?
Either way, fantastic news for Hungary and democracy. Thoughts and prayers for Putin and Vance’s boss, too.
Vicksburg will host the second Amazon Web Services center in Mississippi, joining a campus in Madison County that Amazon invested $10 billion in in 2024. Gov. Tate Reeves' press release says that it created “thousands of indirect jobs, through data center construction and the supply chain.”
Amazon's latest data center construction outside Canton is one of a fleet of data centers announced statewide. Additional data centers are planned for Lauderdale & Rankin counties, & a third Amazon facility is planned for Vicksburg. Elon Musk's xAI is also building a data center in DeSoto County.

For-profit journalism is falling, domino by domino, to aggressive, right-wing corporate interests.
This is a great time to support your local PBS and public radio station.
A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".

I wish this was an official statement in the US and not the UK -
"As justice secretary - and as the prime minister has said - nobody in this country is above the law. And this is now a police investigation and that must happen in the usual way."

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

MAGA: “I ain’t watching the halftime show!!!! I’m watching the pro-family TPUSA one headlined by KID ROCK MAGAAA!!!!”
Kid Rock song:
“ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage, see. Some say that's statutory (but I say that's mandatory)”
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
Rittenhouse & George were heroes.
Pretti should have known better than to carry a gun.
Ashli Babbit was a hero.
Renee Good deserved to die.
Drug smugglers should be in jail.
Drug kingpin Hernandez should be out of jail.
There are no principles. Only bulls**t justification for doing what they want.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
I honestly thought this had to be satire. Surely, no one would think it was a good idea to "honor" MLK by creating a sneaker that evokes the site of his murder, knowing about the harsh words he had for the capitalist system.
But yeah... it's real
The Declaration of Independence with red arrows marking the things Trump has done
We budget $300 a month to buy food for hungry neighbors. We go to Costco and load up on canned goods & as much produce as we can afford. Groceries are more expensive now. For the first time since 2020, we've had to leave the pantry empty and watch people come to get food and go away empty-handed.
I wonder what Merrick Garland tells himself to make him feel better.
My great-grandmother studied at Atlanta University not long after she was freed. My great-grandfather was an Alcorn Boy. They both taught at Alabama A&M, my grandfather went to Wilberforce. I'm so freaking ready to walk onto the campus of an HBCU & feel the love of my ancestors behind me.
"The billionaires have only themselves to blame.
It’s as if the sheer scale of this wealth, which beggars even the riches of the Gilded Age, has induced a kind of class sociopathy."
That's exactly what happens. I'm writing a book about it.
I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.
Change my mind.
Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected.
Now think about how you feel after last night's election.
You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out.
You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off.
Remember this.
I only hope I live a life such that my death is mourned and not celebrated.

A couple experts have pointed out that referring to political figures as "dangerous" tends to make them more admirable in the eyes of many Americans, the type of voters who admire strong men. Consider using "destructive," "incompetent," "clueless," or another adjective instead.
ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.
David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.
Here's their story.
