These data centers do not produce jobs. These centers raise electricity rates and create electric shortages. These centers use tens of millions of gallons of water and discharge toxic water, causing environmental pollution and noise pollution. Why are they getting billion-dollar tax breaks???

I know this isn't the point post, but it made me realize that SNL has been on for 1/5th of the time we've had a country. That's nuts.

It can't be said enough. Tell all the ME-GOV and ME-SEN primary voters in your life. #MEpolitics

Well when you pay $0 in taxes, doubling it will in fact not help anyone.

I can't wait to vote for Graham Platner.

We just spent fifty billion in two months on the war in Iran and I haven’t heard a single question of where it came from. But the moment you say Americans deserve to see housing costs come down, or energy costs, or healthcare, suddenly there's no money to be had.

Straight-up admitting it’s all for show. Unbelievable stuff.

I could watch this all day.

So you're telling me that cutting tariffs leads to lower prices? Fascinating.

Remember how when Blu-ray came out, every movie you bought included a DVD and a digital copy? I need book publishers to start doing that. When I buy a new book, I want to get a hardcover for my shelf plus the Kindle edition. #booksky

If you need a good laugh today.

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

My TBR doesn't stop growing. 😭

Meanwhile we used to have this. From NYT (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2016/07/03/u...

You know… The Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial normally reflects reality. The world around it. DJT is painting it blue—erasing reality. As he does with everything else.

The strength, power, and patience of god almighty is embodied in those 4 in blue in that room. I cannot imagine having to stand still and keep my mouth shut with that man.

There's times I really do like social media. No idea who this guy is, but we both saw the same fritters and they looked so fucking good.

Fun fact, the first week a movie is in the theaters, only 10% of ticket sales go back to the theater. The other 90% goes to the distributor/producer. Each subsequent week, the theater gets an extra 10%. So that's why they charge what they do for the popcorn.

I might need to log off Bluesky for a week. Y'all ought to be better than this.

I'm going to bump this one up today. It's shocking reading all the baseless conspiracy theory comments on here.

Folks... tonight was not a false flag. It was a very stupid individual carrying out a very stupid act. This was a real assassination attempt. Please don't fall down these rabbit holes of conspiracy nonsense. They aren't helpful. You can despise Trump and also acknowledge reality.

So @pinetreeactivism.org or anyone else in #MEpolitics... Have we heard if there are any protests happening outside the Blaine House? I'm guessing it's too late if the bill has already been vetoed...

My thoughts exactly. When can we start lowering cars and taxing by weight?

Looking forward to watching @janetmillsforme.bsky.social get absolutely shredded on this site.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

I mean, I know we make the 1984/Big Brother comparisons, but this is pretty much 2+2=5

This is great!

🚨NEWS🚨 Rep. Massie and I just introduced a bipartisan amendment to strip the pesticide liability shield from the Farm Bill. If a company’s product makes people sick, it should be held accountable. If states and communities want to create stronger protections, they should have every right to do so.

EU ‘right to repair’ law The EU will soon require smartphone manufacturers to let users replace their batteries. The tough new rules - endorsed by the European Parliament this week - could save millions of phones from landfill. www.euronews.com/2023/06/22/n...

Me every time I'm baking.

On the right is someone NFL doctors say is 6’3, 230 lbs with 5% body fat On the left is someone White House doctors say is 6’3, 224 lbs with 4.8% body fat If the White House is THAT dishonest about something so clear, why should we believe anything they say about anything?

Donald Trump wanted a commemorative stamp with his face on it but the focus group said 65% of Americans would spit on the front side and the other 35% would lick the backside.

This article is for men. In just the past few weeks: a wife murdered. A community leader killed. Multiple women alleging assault from another congressman. A survivor died by suicide. "Rape Academy" has 140 million visits in two months. The pattern is horrifying, and the solution starts with us.

If you are worried that China is beating us, then take a look at this. China is investing heavily in renewable energy. The USA is fighting all forms of green energy. Reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and diversifying our energy sources could help us get ahead. It could prevent wars over oil.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

DoorDash Grandma isn't a paid plant. (For that, you need to be paid!) Instead, her story is far worse. She's a depressing example of how MAGA cultists have internalized the lies that justify their own oppression. An analysis. www.salon.com/2026/04/17/t...

Jared Golden cannot fucking leave this position fast enough. 8 months is too long.

You know what would also help her afford her husband's cancer treatments? UNIVERSAL FUCKING HEALTH CARE JESUS FUCKING CHRIST HOW IS THIS GODDAMN COUNTRY STILL LIKE THIS MAYBE GRANDMA SHOULDN"T HAVE TO DELIVER FOOD LIKE A TEENAGER IF WE HAD A DECENT FUCKING SOCIETY!!!!!!!!!!

L.L. Bean has taken the position that it won’t support the Save the Forest Service movement, with messaging along the lines of avoiding political engagement.

I needed this laugh. 😆

Honey, that ship sailed 80 years ago in the womb.

This. We need to be asking these people if they're prepared to vote for a democrat in November. Because many of these people think that's (very ironically) akin to voting for the devil or a pedophile or a rapist. And if they're not ready to vote D, shut up, they'd vote for him again.

don’t think any of these would make the front page today

Seriously. They're really hitting us Xennials hard.

I wouldn't think it's that people want the US to lose, but rather for all of global human civilization to win.
