this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

Know our history

🚨 Montana - data centers are becoming more of an issue across the country. Maine just passed a moratorium on data center construction, with one of the main reasons being their high energy rates. Please sign this petition against the center planned in Butte. #mtpol www.change.org/p/stop-the-b...

To cap off his first 100 days in office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani walked the full 6 miles home from New York City Hall last night — greeting New Yorkers along the way. 🍎

Bravo to Pope Leo, for denouncing Trump’s threat to destroy Iran’s ‘whole civilization.’ We need those with moral authority to speak out against our president’s abuses of power.

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation. Complete abdication of duty.

A politician with the guts to say it: "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War." - Premier Wab Kinew at the NDP national convention, Winnipeg.

I was just helping my kid with their high school Gov homework, and was astonished to learn the United States has a Congress.

Thank you, Gov. Walz

Hit the road with us! We were out east this weekend 🌾

​​We gave Amazon a $17.5 BILLION tax break last year. Meta got $13.7 BILLION. Citigroup didn't pay a penny—we gave them a tax REFUND. Those tax breaks didn't do anything to create jobs, let alone save them. We have got to stop with the corporate tax giveaways.

Small-d democracy. Thank you!

Can you feel it, Montana? open.substack.com/pub/mikejope...

🤦‍♀️

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

Just saying this again substack.com/@amylweeks/n...

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Not a hoax

WTH? @#$&_##*!!?

Obama: "The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous ... the sort of behavior that we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America."

Repeat after me: per the Constitution, the federal government has no authority over elections.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

Really crazy that so many Americans based their entire life around carrying guns to protect US from authoritarians & pedophiles, then when confronted with authoritarians & pedophiles they joined in as paramilitary terrorizing innocent civilians & protecting the pedophiles from accountability.

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully: The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

The Mayor of Portland, OR after ICE shot tear gas into a crowd “To those who..work for ICE: Resign..Through your use of violence and..trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame. [G]o home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children”

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

ICE is detaining a 5 year old boy. If you get off on this, you’re a monster and don’t you dare pretend to worship God.

Bwahahaha

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Anti-Fascist Hat pattern, c. 1940s, that fought the Nazis. Appropriate for now. Wish I could knit. Needles up, y'all.

I always thought MLK’s ‘Mountaintop’ speech was his best, which was given the day before he was killed. It is especially relevant given what is happening now in MN and elsewhere. He was getting many serious threats, which he references in his line “I may not get there with you.”

maggiessboutique Our hearts are with all Minnesotans during this difficult time. We stand for safety, respect, and dignity for every member of our community, and we hope for healing, transparency, and unity across the state. Human first. Always. 🤍

In Germany, a lot of houses have these Stolpersteines on their sidewalks or stoops. They’re a memorial to victims of the Holocaust who were ripped from that home. Some houses have a few. Other houses have many. ICE has started going door to door in America.

Ds should be alarmed.  Rumored game plan allegedly by peeps close to Schumer, DSCC, & power brokers & consultants: Run a known Dem in US Senate primary and win, then withdraw, leaving only Daines and Seth Bodnar (the “independent.”) Winning “strategy”? Bah. #mtpol #mtnews

UM Prez Seth Bodnar looks poised to run against Daines as an “Independent" & power brokers ponder rewriting MT Dem rules to ease his path. Party rules shouldn’t bend for non-Democrats. Dems: Pay very close attention and stop this nonsense. #mtpol #mtnews @montanademocrats.org

Hey, your friendly semi-retired storm chaser 🌪️ and all around life long weather geek here with an important message: This is really bad.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

It’s the year 2025 and Americans have to watch a bootlegged international version of a news program because it was censored here in our country to protect a criminal president.

If you think Trump's march to authoritarian power is unstoppable - or already a fait accompli - just note how panicked and weak he was tonight and he wheedled and whined about nothing is his fault. That's not a man who thinks he's winning.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American. Two options: 1) ICE deliberately targeted him. 2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens. Hard to say which option is scarier.
