Billionaires are taking advantage of hick county governance to install these huge data centers. And it gives them claim to vast amounts of water. Without restrictions on use. As we move toward water scarcity. AI aside, this is a slick move to corner the water market.

Six months ago, the federal government indicted me, my friend Andre, and four others for protesting ICE. Our trial is this month and we are facing up to $250k in legal debt. Please help us win our case and protect all of our rights by donating to our legal defense: tinyurl.com/katandre

Democrats in charge: “Don’t back progressives or we will lose the next election!” Democrats not in charge: “Don’t back progressives or the republicans will win again!” Fuck that. We need change. Real change.

If you support ICE and/or DHS, I will not vote for you. If you vote with the republicans, I will not vote for you. If you vote for the attacks on Iran, I will not vote for you. DNC, get your shit together.

End of civilization or not, if you take AIPAC funds I will not vote for you. If you support Israel or Russia in any fashion, I will not vote for you. If you have voted for anything that resists releasing the Epstein files and putting everyone involved in prison, I will not vote for you.

The calculus is very simple. If the US is demanding “unconditional surrender” then this is war. Primary every single war hawk Zionist piece of shit democratic representative.

I will not donate through Act Blue. I respond to every donation request with this information. To date, no one has responded. Not even @katmabu.bsky.social I am disappointed. Surely that’s not the only venue to make political donations.

One thing I’ve learned from these Trump times: the merchant class needs to be neutered. At the very first chance to eliminate every regulation that protects people or the planet they immediately go for the jugular. No mas, motherfuckers.

If only they’d listened… DC, 2020

Four GOP Senators. At most four Repubs in the House. Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

All you maga red farmers get lined up for your socialist welfare handouts. Good little piggies!

As a US Army veteran, I have to ask: why isn’t our military defending our constitution? There’s plenty of gross “in plain sight” evidence to justify interceding in this corrupt administration’s fascist takeover of our country. And yet, nothing but crickets and resignations. I’m gutted.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

"Outrage and betrayal" AOC on House Dem.

Yeah, I think that’s already enough scrolling for me today. Traitorous senate dems. Fuck the DNC and fuck every single “moderate” democrat. Fuck whitewashing shitheads like Platner and his nazi tat. Fuck the excessively wealthy. Fuck all you religious magical thinkers. Just … 😞

SNAP benefits are under attack during this government shutdown and food banks are picking up the slack. But they need your help. Here are the best ways to do that:

Going to just bask in the glorious results tonight 😁💙😁 Thank you, every blue voter!

Venezuela has asked China for help. Perfect opportunity for China to showcase their military advances. Meanwhile, US military has been weakened by maga changes, and leadership is emotional and reactive. US is going to get played and made to look weak on the global military stage.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Remember to support your local food bank right now! Food insecurity is coming for a lot of folks. And if you see someone shoplifting food, kids clothing, baby supplies, formula … You didn’t see anything.

“Settling” for Platner out any other candidate is how got here in the first place. Vote FOR someone, not just against the opposition. His claims of “I didn’t know” are hot bullshit. He’s a fucking adult.

Lifting weights makes my anxiety stfu for a fair bit. Highly recommended.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Trump enacting the insurrection act may well invoke a self-fulfilling prophecy.

youtube.com/shorts/WDHFe... This does a good job answering that question

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

“These violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder”

Meanwhile, in my ruby red state, zero ICE this happening. Not that I want them to! But everyone here is lulled by not having the horror enacted before their own eyes.

It just occurred to me that standard dwelling insurance does not cover acts of war. How long before claims start being rejected for this clause, due to ICE related damage?

To understand the chaos in Chicago, here are some must-follows: @unraveledpress.com @thetriibe.com @blockclubchi.bsky.social @chicago.suntimes.com @katmabu.bsky.social @bencollins.bsky.social @dansinker.com @wttw.bsky.social

I’ve always thought Chicago would be a center of liberal joy. But last night i learned that it doesn’t even have a decent non-pillaged newspaper. Why is that? My ongoing search for a truly liberal state is leaving me feeling like that doesn’t actually exist in the USA.

Trump is the loud, dangerous smokescreen. The puppeteers are working quickly behind his facade to lock down this country. We need steady independent reporting of all those other things as well, with the same level of outrage.

Man, today has already been a shit show thanks to Pete and Donny. But am I understanding this correctly? On the day drugs get hit with 100% tariff we learn about TrumpRX, and a side deal with Pfizer? Somebody please tell me that I ate the onion.

The nazi party named themselves, just as MAGA has. Stop calling them republicans, nazis, conservatives. Make every reference be about MAGA. MAGA senator, MAGA FCC chair, etc. This is the same powerful rhetorical device MAGA uses, but with “liberal”. Turn that word back on them.

Dear representatives. It is “We the People” that you serve. Not “Me, Myself”. We the People are watching and collecting the receipts.

Hey, I’m just a white veteran. But doesn’t the new military “clean-shaven” rule harm almost entirely black men? Isn’t it a real problem for many of them to shave daily without getting horrible ingrown hairs? The rule seems deliberately racist to me. Educate me!

Pro wrestling was one of the earliest levers to get Americans to accept untruth as truth. Don’t tell me that “everyone knew it was fake”. I’m old, they didn’t. Why do you think the McMahon family has such political power now? The dumbing down of America was not accidental.

Think I’ll sit out NFL this year. Too much acceptance from the league (and KC) of players getting to play despite clear felonies, misogynistic players getting welcome air time, and the overall maga feel from every team and league leadership.

Subtle fuckery today from Home Depot and PayPal. After the delivery, HD added 70 cents to the charge and PP allowed it. CS finally refunded but the point is these little actions, spread over many customers, yield even more profits for these corporate bastards. Stay vigilant!

The rich and powerful are currently divvying up the world, deciding who gets what. You are a “what”, not a “who”.

We need to move forward. Endless posts lamenting the situation or seeking monetization to provide a different voice of lamentation. Protests are meaningless. Start thinking locally, share survival tips, make private liberal schools, etc. We are in a post-democratic country. Adaptation is crucial.

I'll say it over and over. I do not believe in gate keeping. I do not believe in pulling up the ladder. I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next. Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.
