Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.

Never doubt your power to change the system.

THE SENATE IS VOTING ON THE BOUNDARY WATERS RIGHT NOW!

Tonight, while most people are watching TV or putting their kids to bed, the U.S. Senate is taking a vote that could permanently end protections for one of the most beloved wilderness areas in America.

we’ve talked a lot about how AI might con people into believing bad things, but it is sad to think of how it will also make us stop believing in wondrous things too

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Cracked down on predatory landlords
-Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program
-Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets

This is what leadership looks like.

No dictators.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️

It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

😂

I had no idea about this aspect of Hughes' life and work.

We posted about this a few days ago. The EPA is trying to roll back protections against ethylene oxide, a chemical that causes leukemia and breast cancer, in communities that are already overburdened with pollution.

The public comment period is open right now.

If they really do kill USPS, they're gonna take out a lot of old and/or disabled folks with it. So many people rely on mailed prescriptions. Some health plans also require folks to receive recurring prescriptions this way.

Tell Your Senators: Protect our Democracy, Vote NO on the SAVE Act Contact Congress today!

The SAVE Act is voter suppression—not security. It would purge millions, especially married women with name changes, low-income voters without passports, and more.

FCC chair threatens broadcasters over Iran war coverage FCC Chair Brendan Carr said news broadcasters coverage of Iran war could impact their license renewal.

By threatening to deny the license of any broadcast news company that does not tow the Trump line, Carr is publicly announcing that the goal of the Trump Administration is to rip up the Constitution to install an authoritarian government.

If Joe Biden's son-in-law was flying around the Middle East as an unofficial Secretary of State while also working on business deals for his company with the same people he was meeting with on behalf of the US government, I'm pretty sure it would be a bigger story 🤔

Reminder the Senate is expected to vote on the Save America Act this week. Please contact your senator and urge them to vote no. You may be seeing a lot of apparent “support” for the bill on social media, but it is not organic. Bot accounts have been flooding senators pages urging them to vote yes.

Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

Federal agents lied about why they shot a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis. Their story quickly fell apart. The attack marked the only time that federal authorities admitted wrongdoing during Operation Metro Surge.

Then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem doubled down, denouncing the incident as an act of “attempted murder” on law enforcement. Her agency published mugshots of all three men arrested in connection with the alleged assault, casting them as “violent criminals.”

None of it was true.

Earlier this year leaked video showed the inhumane conditions at the Baltimore ICE Holding Facility.

Today we conducted an unannounced oversight visit.

Here's some of what we learned:

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
