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???

Stephen Colbert closed out the final episode of The Late Show with an emotional performance of “Hello, Goodbye” alongside Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney symbolically switched off the studio lights one last time to the Ed Sullivan Theater. 🥹🥺

Not enough is made about how badly this government has damaged our currency #nzpol

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

Our government isn’t broken. It works great for billionaires. For Big Pharma. For Wall Street. For corporations that can hire lobbyists. It's rigged for the wealthy and well-connected. We need to build a better system—one that works for working people.

I forgive the little old man on speaker phone in the bookstore cause he was asking his wife about books she wants and he said, “We need to buy it here and support Kaitlyn and not buy it on Amazon” 🥰

So Eric Trump is now threatening to sue MeidasTouch because our editor-in-chief simply reported on the massive amounts of money he and Don Jr. are making off government contracts. File the lawsuit Eric. We’d love to put you under oath. Our message: www.meidasplus.com/p/trump-fami...

Our actions today are for the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. For years, many have been complicit in protecting the powerful, wealthy, and well-connected who participated in a pedophile Ponzi scheme. @pressley.house.gov is clear: We will get justice. A reckoning is on the way.

France passed a law in 2022 requiring car parks to install #solar. * Applies if ≥80 spaces * Must cover at least 50% of area * Exemptions (grid constraints, heritage sites) We did it with disabled spaces why not solar? There are obstacles but none are strong enough to justify not doing it at all!

James Talarico: We are living in an era of corruption. I don’t just mean illegal activity. I mean corruption in the deeper sense — the rotting of something from the inside. This is, at its root, a spiritual crisis. And it will require a spiritual solution.
