Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

Since Mark Carney allowed Chinese cars to be sold in Canada, Elon has cut the price of the Tesla 3 there to $29,000 USD. This competition is the exact reason Elon is blocking Chinese EVs from being sold in the US. It's also the reason we shouldn't allow billionaires to buy the US government.

#1. This is a lie. #2. Lots of dollars don't go to people who are lawfully, correctly, eligible to receive them. This administration wants to increase that total. #3. This admin has gutted professional anti-fraud tools (e.g. Inspectors Generals) while fueling massive fraud by cronies.

Utah Governor Cox wants people to conserve water

CNN put together a montage of Trump officials, including Trump himself, saying over and over again for nearly three months now that gas prices are about to drop, any day now

“It’s just burning. I just wanted to try to keep people safe.” ICE fired pepper spray at Senator Andy Kim and protesters outside a detention facility in New Jersey. Not another penny should go to these out-of-control agencies — and when we regain power, we will hold all of these thugs accountable.

And it won't just be SpaceX. OpenAI will benefit from this rule as well. So everyone's retirement can get used to fund Sam Altman's vanity fire of cash. It's going to be disastrous and people should go to prison for this.

It's absolutely insane how the Nasdaq changed rules around its exchange to include SpaceX just 15 days of trading, allow less than 5% of free float, and require a weighting of multiple its float in the index. This is the largest wealth transfer in history from everyone's retirement to Elon.

The real welfare queen in America is Jeff Bezos, worth $279 billion, who pays wages so low his workers rely on food stamps and Medicaid while he sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring because his tax rate is less than 1%.

Dr. Jonathan Reiner: "The president has severe daytime somnolence. He's fallen asleep in the Oval on multiple occasions & I was concerned he might have fallen asleep at Arlington. Chronic insomnia is a severe illness. It can result in an increase in risk of dementia, decrease in cognitive effects."

An NBC News investigation finds dozens of examples of criminals imitating ICE to rob and attack people www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

"NJ Governor Sherrill says she’s been denied entry into Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark... Roughly 300 detainees had gone on a hunger strike to protest conditions they describe as inhumane." DHS denies the strike is happening. 🎥 from @nj.com: www.instagram.com/reel/DYxIJaO...

This is unbelievable. The AI boom is now piggybacking on green colonialism, eating up any contribution to emissions reduction while causing harm to Indigenous communities. The Yakama Tribe has been fighting this pumped storage project for years, only to learn it would primarily power…a data center.

Dear Texas: Paxton loves pedos #GrandOldPedos #VoteTalarico #TxSen

A judge increased his sentence to a whopping 60 days. He got out in 30. This is MAGA's vision for the USA. Full story from our Texas State Director Saadia Mirza. letsaddresstexas.substack.com/p/ken-paxton...

Most people think pandemics start in a jungle or a lab. No. They start when the alarm system fails. And right now, America is quietly dismantling its own...budget cut by budget cut, vacancy by vacancy. Almost nobody is talking about it. Here's what's really happening. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

He's completely incompetent, even apart from being deranged.

More than a bit worrying that reality seems not to matter anymore. Like, whole political movements rise up out of disinformation campaigns pushed by algorithms and media narratives. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Anyone planning to remodel the kitchen, avoid quartz. It’s deadly for the fabricators, and for people who frequently clean the dust.

The Arlington National Cemetery Memorial apparently has deleted references and information on everyone interred there who wasn’t a white straight man from their database - attempting to sweep their existence under the rug. My thoughts on this obscenity cannot legally be shared on this platform.

He lost by a little over 10,000 mail-in ballots where voters normally average 3,000. The cheat is right there for all to see. They are ballot harvesting from those who don't vote. They did it in WI in 2016. They've done it repeatedly in NC. And now Kentucky. @govandybeshear.bsky.social

Nixon: "I am not a crook." Trump: "I am a crook. So what."

📌REPEATING: If Trump hadn't unilaterally withdrawn from the Iran nuclear agreement crafted by Obama it would NOT have a stockpile of highly enriched uranium today. Iran was IN FULL COMPLIANCE with the agreement. This mess was created ENTIRELY by Trump. This isn’t reported near enough.

Seventeen years without raising the federal minimum wage is unacceptable. Working people deserve a real living wage, protection from wage theft, and job security that puts families before corporate profits. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

Just one small part of the Team Russian Whores project to destroy the country.

Republicans moved heaven and earth to pass tax breaks for billionaires and mega corporations—and then Trump walked away from minimum wage and overtime protections for nearly 4 million workers.    This is as anti-worker and pro-billionaire as it gets.

Make no mistake, Kennedy is working tirelessly to destroy our vaccine infrastructure, including presently engaging in a p-hacking witch hunt spearheaded by his cronies to link vaccines to conditions they repeatedly have not shown any association with. www.nytimes.com./2026/05/11/h...

A few years ago, I discovered that during Donald Trump's first presidential term he peppered the IRS with #FOIA requests in an attempt to delay the agency from turning over his tax filings to a congressional committee. I FOIA'd Trump's FOIAs to the IRS www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

California gives data centers all kinds of tax breaks including income, sales and property taxes, while demanding the minimum of 20 jobs per district. Yes, 20.

And beyond that, they’re extensively used to reduce employment massively across other businesses, replacing people with AI. Besides the disastrous data security and environmental impacts, the whole thing is just another scam to shovel more money to billionaires at the expense of everyone else.

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???

There are dozens, if not hundreds of Tina Peterses out there. And they aren't in jail. They are your elected officials. trib.al/9HomjTU

Trump pledged $10 billion in U.S. funds to his self-chaired “Board of Peace” for Gaza—money Congress never appropriated and senators called “totally illegal.” The State Department has already redirected about $1.25 billion to it, draining disaster and peacekeeping accounts Congress controls.

Bezos says workers making $70k or less shouldn’t pay income taxes. Sounds nice? It’s a 3fer scam: Hooks people into “no one should pay taxes ever.” Justifies slashing Social Security, Medicaid & schools over “debt.” Lets him cut your gross pay as your take-home stays the same. mcsp.short.gy/puAl

Killing women: the christofascist way

Oh dear god, just what CA needs 😭

Yeah, it’s probably just a coincidence that Blanche represented Paul Manafort, Rudy Giuliani, Boris Epshteyn, Michael Cohen, and Donald Trump. He’s just a guy trying to do the right thing without regard to party, as long as you’re a Republican.

Meanwhile, politicians across the country slash housing, healthcare, and mental health funding, then point at California and scream “failed blue city.” This is not just an LA problem. It’s a national crisis. 3/3

So let’s get something straight about the unhoused: California is expected to carry a massive share of America’s homelessness crisis, then gets mocked for struggling under the weight of a problem that clearly extends far beyond Los Angeles. 🧵

The Trump administration is secretly deleting information about the insurrection from the DOJ website as it prepares to give funds to J6ers, the WP reports.

Every single dollar Trump has made during this shit-show should be forfeit. Then there should be a 100% fine on that amount. Taking money from these people seem so be the ONLY punishment they understand.
