I would rather have less success and feel like I’m living up to my own ideals than be on 1000 playlists that maybe get me $1, have my art stolen by techbros, contribute to AI weapons development, and get lost in a sea of slop.

Here's a warning from a few years ago... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This post is going to be long but it’s important. One of the least-discussed developments in the Trump administration is the creation of the National Design Studio (NDS). On the surface, it was presented as a project to modernize government websites and improve the user experience.

If FDR were alive today, his policy positions would be closer to those of Mamdani & AOC than most mainstream Democrats.

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

Here’s what communities can do when data centers arrive tennesseelookout.com/2026/06/26/h...

Share & repost! "Built by former members of the team behind the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's popular climate.gov website, Climate.us will keep climate information accurate, accessible, scientifically rigorous, and useful..." www.climate.us/news-feature...

Our public lands are not a corporate checkout counter. The radical plan to shatter the US Forest Service is designed to pave the way for massive logging and privatization of 193 million acres. Tell Congress to block this illegal destruction right now: 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

A Los Angeles restaurant worker with a valid work permit was followed by ICE into her workplace. The manager used PAXIS.app to identify the kitchen as a non-public area, told agents they could not enter without consent, asked for a judicial warrant refused access, and requested that they leave.

Data centers are harming every environment they are placed in.

The executive order on vote by mail was struck down by a federal judge this week, but the draft USPS rule is still out for comment. It's vital that we all make our voices heard loud and clear - stop this attack on our voting rights! #USPS #VoteByMail

Expert advice to help residents and elected officials handle the spread of data centers. Reporters interviewed more than 50 experts from the data center industry, local and state elected officials, national policy experts, researchers and residents with data center experience to compile a toolkit.

Texas now requires New Testament passages to be taught in public schools. Christian Nationalists at work.

Scientists are wary of glyphosate. MAHA loathes it. And our yearlong investigation shows California is spraying it everywhere.

BREAKING: Judge Sullivan just granted my Motion for Preliminary Injunction, ordering Todd Blanche to produce TO THE PUBLIC, on or before July 2nd, specific UNREDACTED Epstein Files documents or show cause as to why they should not be produced. Details to come! www.courtlistener.com/docket/73246...

Stephen B. Jacobs said this in an interview with Newsweek in 2018. "Things that couldn't be said five years ago, four years ago, three years ago—couldn't be said in public—are now normal discourse. It's totally unacceptable.' www.newsweek.com/im-holocaust...

A federal judge has just ordered DOJ to turnover five categories of items from the Epstein Files that it previously failed to disclose by July 2 in a lawsuit brought by Katie Phang. Read the details here: joycevance.substack.com/p/finally-a-...

The Supreme Court just made it easier for chemical companies to poison our families & farmers with cancer causing pesticides like glyphosate. Americans will die because of this horrific decision that puts corporate wealth ahead of our country’s health.

Friends, they’re not even trying to hide their voter suppression. ⬇️

Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸

🚨BREAKING: In a MAJOR VICTORY, the 6th Circuit REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to access Michigan's voter file. The first appeals court to rule on an appeal in DOJ's 9 defeats. I am proud of the Elias Law Group team for this critical win! www.democracydocket.com/cases/michig...

hudsoncountyview.com/jersey-city-... “Citizens Bank made a choice to finance the caging of human beings for profit. Jersey City is making a choice too: we will not be complicit, and we’ve already begun the process of pulling city funds,” Mayor James Solomon said in a statement.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

This dude is a legend.

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

Elon Musk’s DOGE cut the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program, which cost $15 million. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1 billion to combat the screwworm outbreak. Never forget how destructive and downright stupid DOGE was.

ONE OF THE LARGEST DATA CENTERS ON EARTH If this is the future, communities deserve more than a press release and a ribbon-cutting. They deserve transparency, environmental review, and a real voice.

MY LATEST: Raiding the OOC months before the midterm elections may not be as sensational as indicting a former FBI director for posting a picture of seashells, but it is every bit as great a threat to the rule of law. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Alabama women have to take a monthly pregnancy test to get a cannabis rx filled. Where it begins is never where it ends www.al.com/news/2026/06...

De Niro: When I hear something I don’t like, I use my own free speech to respond. When I hear Trump say, that he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation—not even a little bit—I say: shut the fuck up.

rBGH is still banned in Canada today. Every glass of Canadian milk is still hormone-free — because one man refused to sign. And the United States? Never banned it. It's still legal there. Right now. *Note- He was fired for "insubordination". He died in 2018... An unsung hero.

Can you spare 60 seconds to save our national forests? The regime’s illegal plan to gut the Forest Service has already forced hundreds of expert researchers to resign. Click the link, and our tool sends a direct letter to Congress: 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

The Ellisons now own TikTok, Paramount, Warner Bros, CBS News, HBO, Comedy Central, and CNN, among other major channels. They are also the largest private donor to "Friends of the IDF." They also paid $7 billion for streaming rights to UFC, which is hosting an event at the White House.

If you are not following Notes on the Crisis, you should. Always thoughtful, always good insight into the various mechanisms and systems being used to crush us.

This is an insane piece. To acknowledge that data centers use 40% of any state's electricity without mentioning the impacts to climate change is malpractice. And the "whoopsie" tone about noise is the cherry on top. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

Senator Mike Lee has introduced a last-minute amendment to the Wildfire Prevention Act that would eliminate the 2001 Roadless Rule, stripping protections from roughly 60 million acres of national forest land. This is an attempt to sneak a major public lands policy change through before most

We must stand up fearlessly against Trump & his rogue ICE agents to protect our immigrant neighbors and the rule of law. That’s what I was doing when I was arrested, and that’s what I’m doing today. (4/4)

Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care. Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years. He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender. www.texastribune.org/2026/05/19/k...

Polymarket offered me enough money to pay my rent for ten months for one post in my newsletter and I turned it down because I enjoy being able to sleep at night.

Marc Elias knows the reputation he has. His strategies have been called “too aggressive.” He also knows violating norms means protecting democracy. “I think the only way through Trump in this authoritarian moment of the Republican Party is to show them that we will fight as hard as they do.”

"France passed a single law and instantly unlocked 11 gigawatts of #solarenergy — without using new land. In 2023, France's government mandated solar canopies over all car parks larger than 80 spaces. The scale was enormous: There are 400,000 parking areas across France #ActOnClimate #Renewables

If you’re still calling them 'detention centers,' you’re ignoring the price tag. They are for-profit concentration camps, and their only growth metric is how many human beings they can cage for profit.

Donald Trump is lying about California elections, threatening criminal prosecutions and this is what WaPo writes. Let's be honest: Legacy media is broken, it is compromised and failing us. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
