Texans need to remember how their senator wants to give you no recourse to that data center using up your water, driving up your utility bills, polluting your air and destroying your ears.

Let’s be clear. The $1.8 billion is to fund Trump’s Nazi thugs to crack heads at his behest. The Trump junta is a den of thieves. Clearly we are living in a mafia state.

critically this was the case in 1870 when the 15th amendment was ratified! there is literally no such thing as partisan gerrymandering and manipulation of voting rules in the south outside of the context of “white reactionaries want to neuter black political power”

Imagine living next to something that sounds like a washing machine you can’t turn off. That’s what Texans are dealing with from AI data centers. Tech barons get richer while communities lose peace, water, and local control.

SCOTUS has successfully rendered much of the Constitution meaningless, substituting contorted interpretations and outright lies for the clear meanings of the Constitution and statutes. Most clear in the cases of VRA and Presidential immunity decisions.

I remember Bloody Sunday. It led to President Johnson’s “And we shall overcome” speech and the VRA. I was delighted; fairness prevailed. All whites should now stand with our fellow Black Americans to crush the racist SCOTUS decision that steals their votes.

Right now, red states are capped in their influence in the Electoral College. If you enact the popular vote compact so states vote in the EC for the popular vote winner, Republicans would try to invalidate Democratic votes in red states to reduce Dems’ popular vote total & ensure only Rs can win.

This is a big deal. Hawaii’s Governor just signed SB 2471, which diminishes the corrupting influence of corporate dollars and dark money in the state's elections, into law. This is the beginning of a new wave of reform that returns power to the people.
