Data centres 🤮🔪

For a growing number of rich Americans, holding multiple citizenships and residencies is an insurance policy against economic and political uncertainty in the U.S.

Sonny Rollins, one of the most influential Jazz musicians of our time, died this afternoon. He was 95

I'm sure the whale decided every day to make a nuisance. You guys are pure monsters. This idiocy needs to stop immediately. Vote blue to put a stop to all this damage at the hands of this regime. #USDemocracy www.tampabay.com/news/environ...

Richard Sidey "When Pack Ice Orca surround your zodiac and you have your telephoto lens attached. An epic encounter with the rare Type B1 Killer Whales in Antarctica. These orca are spy hopping our inflatable boat, the exact same way they check out seals on ice floes."

This is something you will never hear on Fox, Newsmax or any other rightwing channel.

Does Trump mean this Ken Paxton? • Indicted for securities fraud • Impeached by Texas Republicans • Accused of bribery • Investigated by the FBI • Sued by his own whistleblowers • Accused of abusing office • Tried to overturn the 2020 election Texas Republicans impeached him 121-23.

We have THE BEST justice system that money can buy. 💰😾🦇

I’m really angry that our government is not doing more to protect institutions, knowledge, facts, science, etc, from disinformation. I’m even more angry that they/we let nefarious corporations, political & foreign actors spread disinformation & hate to mentally harm our most vulnerable. #AusPol

No One be Surprised! Read the Response….

Tillis persuaded the woman who accused Hegseth of rape to come forward. Then he abandoned her and voted for Hegseth anyway. He was the deciding vote. He owns Hegseth's reign of terror at the Pentagon. He could have prevented it. radleybalko.substack.com/p/profiles-i...

Satire & Political Comedy Are Resistance 🎭 "Authoritarians don’t like anybody who doesn’t give them undue dignity. Comedians are anti-authoritarian by nature. And authoritarians are never going to like anybody laughing at them." - Stephen Colbert

"Mayor attends huge local sporting event and doesn't even get comped seats or sit in the best spot" is such a hilarious way to try to burn someone, really nypost.com/2026/05/22/u...

How about we just follow this rule that a convicted felon can’t actually be president of the United States

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???

The main difference between the Bible and To Kill a Mockingbird is that when someone calls To Kill a Mockingbird their favorite book, they’ve probably read it.

“If the Department of Justice insists this fund is open to all victims of ‘weaponization,’ then I think all of us qualify… After all, we have all watched Donald Trump weaponize the Department of Justice against political enemies, journalists, prosecutors, judges, immigrants, universities, law firms⬇️

Stephen Colbert has been a gift for 11 years- brilliant, stunningly knowledgeable, kind & hilarious . From his home, he with his family, helped us thru dark pandemic times. He won 11 Emmy Awards, 2 Grammys & 3 Peabody Awards. Thank you for all of it Stephen. We'll miss you ❤️

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

1. London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers. After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

The Danish gov’t has installed floating platforms planted with wildflowers and native vegetation in the harbors and canals of Copenhagen, to create urban habitat sanctuaries for birds, bees, pollinators, insects, and even some aquatic life. #FlowersOfBluesky #InnovativeSolutions💡

Hosea Williams, the man marching with John Lewis at the head of the protesters beaten on Pettus Bridge seeking voting rights, was a chemist from Georgia with an MA. Now an African-American microbiologist from Georgia with a PhD is going to Congress.

So $1.8 billion in reparations for insurrectionists, and zero for Epstein victims? Am I getting this right?

It’s not just that we will miss one of the most consistently funny, astutely perceptive and topically necessary shows on television, it’s that we will miss getting to spend a little time each night with one of the most genuine, authentic hosts ever to do it.

A lot of zero-post accounts just showed up, en masse, on Bluesky. If your follower count just jumped, VET THE NEWBIES CAREFULLY. They are likely just repurposed troll accounts tasked with a new target population. Be judicious. Block freely. #disinfo #trolling #AltGov #AltFam

The EU secured its alliance with Canada; now it is Mexico’s turn. Today’s meeting marks the beginning of a major shift in America, as Mexico and the EU seek to expand trade, industry, and intelligence cooperation while moving away from the decaying US kleptocracy.

the Colbert cancellation is a labor issue, to my mind. Colbert’s show employed hundreds of union employees working nightly. Byron Allen’s non-union show costs CBS nothing (literal zero), and costs Allen very little as well since comics provide their own material for a nominal fee and exposure

MAHA was just another con. The corruption of the Trump admin is absolutely staggering.

Eliminating foreign aid that helps fight disease globally and then sending people with Ebola elsewhere. We are the baddies

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy

Imagine being a Russian troll assigned to Bluesky: “Comrade, today you will destabilize Western democracy by arguing with poets, policy nerds, and a raccoon avatar with tenure.”

The feds harangued Kat and my family over bullshit charges for a year. They tried to beat her down, bankrupt Kat and her codefendants through legal fees, and a defeat her spirit. They fucking lost. They will continue to lose. Fuck ICE forever. To this criminal gang of a government: stay losing.

Kat Abughazaleh has the chance to do the funniest thing

Cheers to Kat Abughazaleh, Michael Rabbitt, Andre Martin and Brian Straw - along with their family and friends and legal teams. Today is a good day for everyone who stood up against fascist terror as it invaded our city last fall.

Springsteen to Colbert: "You're the first guy in America to lose his show because we got a president who can't take a joke...and because Larry & David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass. These are small minded people with no idea about the freedoms of this beautiful country."

Mayor Mamdani Keeps Up The Wins For New Yorkers,And He Just Keeps Getting Better.......👏🏻

TX AG Ken Paxton offered a child rapist ONE day in jail and no sex offender registration requirement. Donald Trump just endorsed him for US Senate. Horrific story that isn’t getting the attention it deserves. No paywall. Read & subscribe here: letsaddresstexas.substack.com/p/ken-paxton...

Maybe we should all file for an insurrectionists payout. It would crash the website. Maybe then we could afford to put gas our cars and buy groceries.

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.

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.

I hope Dems are really, really vetting candidates so there are no more Fetterman, Manchin or Sinemas... Enough already. Andy Dem who switches party after election should return all donations back to the people.

Last week some of the wealthiest people in the country had tantrums because there’s small changes being made to the tax system. (Not enough in my opinion) while we have disabled people being thrown off the only support they have. While charities are running out of food for people.
