"They found that hyperscale data center developers often choose to build in rural communities rather than urban locations, not to create jobs and increase a community's economy, but because of low costs and abundant land." www.kare11.com/article/news...

When you use military aircraft disguised as civilian planes, you make civilian planes targets in the conflict. That's why perfidy's a big deal - it makes non-combatants less safe and can result in civilian mass casualties.

Civil rights violations, up to and including murder under color of law, don’t affect their investment portfolios like 🤬ing with the Fed chair, so Republicans don’t give a 💩 about ICE abuses.

The federal government is a criminal enterprise.

“They have no interest in actually protecting American lives and keeping our communities healthy and safe from toxic pollutants. The only thing Lee Zeldin wants to protect are the profits of fossil fuel companies. So much for making America healthy.” Profits over people: it’s the Republican way.

“The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.” Thought of this today as we passed a big anti-ICE rally today at Main and PCH in Seal Beach. It’ll get worse before it gets better but in the end, the Empire loses. #AbolishICE #ImpeachNoem

Besides The Thing, TK also starred in another of my favorite movies, Walter Hill's Southern Comfort, as Pvt Cribbs. Very sorry to hear this.

The correct answer is "two weeks," Secretary Wright. 🙄

Trump's tariff disaster has been so ruinous that the Administration's decided that conquest and colonization is necessary to make up for it. Disgusting and reprehensible.

It's tragic that the mindless cruelty of our Toddler-in-Chief and his cronies hurts young athletes who want nothing more than to compete.

They are doing everything they possibly can to justify invoking the Insurrection Act and suspend the midterm election.

The one-state solution for Palestine has been spoken of for decades—sometimes as a moral ideal, sometimes as a technocratic fix, and at other times as a convenient abstraction. #Opinion by Ranjan Solomon Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260109-bey...

When it comes down to it, the man's just a common 🤬ing criminal. Those revenues belong to the people of Venezuela, not Trump States of America Inc.

Asked by reporters about the Democratic response to Republicans refusing to display the Congressionally authorized plaque, Speaker Johnson replied, "I haven't heard anything about offices." 😒

For those keeping score at home, we're now on Day 355 of the "dictator on day 1" presidency.

“The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined” by conflicts around the world, referencing Venezuela, Ukraine and Gaza as well as the instability in Haiti, Sudan and South Sudan . . .

No book is going to turn kids into someone else. But books will regularly show kids other people like them and show those kids they're not alone. And they'll show kids other types of people who also exist. There is a large proportion of the population who are terrified of this.

Girl covers some real estate to get that point. She was playing in two different area codes, I think.

"The culture of deference to official police narratives, and the same structures of cruelty, of excess, and of impunity that have been allowed to flourish in so many police departments in Black and Latino communities, is the same cultural thread that allows ICE to behave the way they do."

“(The Montana Army National Guard) issued clear directives no antler collecting of any type is authorized,” he added. “This is misuse of government property inconsistent with our standards. We are not going to tolerate it.”

"Thanks to social media and GPS hiking apps, the lake is now one of the park’s most photographed destinations, and a maze of paths stomped into the vegetation have supplanted a rugged, bushwhacking adventure." #RecreationEcology

🚨Cody Roberts, charged with felony animal cruelty for torturing a wolf, is now asking the court to dismiss his case. Allowing this would send a dangerous message that extreme violence toward wildlife can be excused. Justice for wildlife depends on accountability. https://bit.ly/45BYvzD

Bullies are cowards at heart, and they know it. It's why they're so easily angered.

Meanwhile Trump himself voted by mail twice in 2020, and encouraged others to do so as well.

In Suturing Wounds, Egyptian artist Sara Sallam presents a series of self-portraits wearing a tunic of antique textile fragments, bearing witness to the 19th-century practice of excavating Byzantine-era cemeteries in Egypt & tearing garments from the dead. On display until 25 Jan. bit.ly/3L6QX0n

"The people most willing to torture and disappear regime opponents are likely to be the ones who were already true believers." The USCG relaxed its standards on hate symbols to accommodate more true believers in the one arm of the US military able to conduct civilian law enforcement.
