Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

The top frame is from 2015, when French meteorologists did a “forecast” from a #climate heated August 2050 - a warning on what could possibly happen in 35 years time. Bottom frame: well, it’s happened in barely a decade, only it’s already *much* worse than predicted. It’s a runaway train.

200,000+ Black New Yorkers have been forced out of NYC over the last 20 years because of costs. After rent, child care is the largest cost families face. So we’re making universal child care a reality. Families have until this Friday, June 26, to apply for a 2-K seat this fall at myschools.nyc.

Brent Suter, Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher, is speaking out against fossil fuel advertising in sports: “As an athlete, I care a lot about promoting companies that share my values, and I also care a lot about our planet … I want to represent companies that want to be part of the solution.”

The Reflecting Pool arrests by Park Police should terrify everyone. The federal government is fabricating accusations out f thin air simply tO protect one man from his own embarrassing failure. There is no sabotage. This is insane.

3 Amazon software engineers advocated that the city of Seattle pause data center buildouts leading to a unanimous vote for a 1-year moratorium on new data centers in the area. Amazon initiated disciplinary action and now the workers are suing for retaliation. Did they cross the line or did Amazon?

Most Texans have never heard of "artificial daylight." But ranchers say massive data centers are lighting up the night and disrupting livestock breeding cycles. These Corrupt Bigshots shouldn't get to experiment on our communities and our food supply.

“It’s unconscionable.” Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social rips the Trump regime’s DOJ for stepping in to help Musk’s xAI supercomputer poison majority-Black Memphis neighborhoods, using an absurd “national security” excuse.

We made it to another #PandemicFriday I gots nothing go be FREE enjoy the day and your life. As always EAT GOOD | DRINK GOOD & REST #TGIF

DATA SCIENTIST: “When a computer is told to redraw TN’s map while diluting the Black vote, it produces something similar to the plane Republican lawmakers approved… race targeting explains it much greater than partisan targeting.” www.pressreader.com/usa/knoxvill...

holy shit????? ICE is getting rid of seven of the 11 would-be concentration camp warehouses they purchased and sec. mullin indicates new mass detention centers are not priority. huge!

These centers suck in more water and electricity than countless major cities, which's literally displacing communities and farmland and generating billions for the greedy owners! www.instagram.com/p/DZsqBpxH3hO/

That's right.

Crazy scenes from Moscow. Ukrainian long-range drunes plunging into the Moscow Oil Refinery. #Russia

According to AFP (h/t Tech Xplore), residents in the small Swedish community are using electric cars to send electricity back into their homes. That gives the families access to the energy stored in the vehicles when household power needs rise

In occupied Crimea, drivers are literally pushing their cars to the gas station in hopes of getting fuel. Except, there is no fuel. ​Fascinating. Getting real Flintstones vibes from this.

Freddie Mercury was a refugee from Zanzibar. #RefugeeWeek2026

NEW: the US government intervened Monday on behalf of xAI in a lawsuit over its gas turbines, claiming that the company needs to run the turbines in order to power Grok, which is "vital" for national security lots of wild stuff in the filing:

The death of a woman from Haiti seeking asylum in the U.S. who died from hypothermia days after her release from federal custody was ruled a homicide by a Pennsylvania county medical examiner's office.

Co-lead 2 trainings today for @350.org on bird dogging and confronting your decision makers in partnership with Vicky @pplsaction.bsky.social and Khrizia @oilgasaction.bsky.social . Yup, there’s a whole strategy to it and we’ve got 100 folks trained and ready to take action! Let’s do it again!

we have solar. i just looked, my bill this month is on track to be about $8. i live in virginia and this includes charging an EV.

Worse than I thought. I saw Kushner’s Albania resort up close — it is an environmental disaster. The damage at Vjosa-Narta is not fake news. Bulldozers are tearing into one of Europe’s most precious wetlands www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Whenever people discuss the modern perils of disagreement framed as "people don't know how to be civil" I think about how civility is what got us to pogroms and concentration camps. It was "friends across the aisle" and lesser evil voting. It was letting bygones be bygones and trusting the process.

THERE IS AN ACTIVE POGROM IN NORTHERN IRELAND. FASCISTS IN SKULL MASKS ARE GOING DOOR TO DOOR PULLING MIGRANTS OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND SETTING THEM ON FIRE.

We are so cooked! Climate change denial and data center water-guzzling are a dangerous combo. One ignores the crisis, the other is making it worse.

Seattle City Council unanimously approves a data center moratorium, making Seattle the biggest city in America to put the brakes on clanker factories 🙌 #Seattle #pnw #pnwlife #Washington

Four months into US oil blockade, Cubans see island drained as state electric company fights to provide even a few hours of power a day

By far the biggest problem with delegating judgement to machines is the people who own the machines can tune them towards outcomes they prefer but those who don't own anything can't. It's not the technology. It's a transfer of decision making power from rational accountable systems to capital.

Happy World Ocean Day! The ocean is the heart of our life support system, without which we’d all be dead. It’s taken up >90% of the heat from global warming and 30% of our CO₂ emissions. In return, we give it 11 million tonnes of plastic annually, which animals ingest and also become entangled in.

A player on Iraq's World Cup team was held and questioned for nearly seven hours at Chicago’s O’Hare airport, an Iraqi official said

Data centers are asking just too much for too little in return. I'm pausing the release of any new data center tax incentives in Illinois — and I'm calling on the General Assembly to act in veto session to make sure data centers are paying their fair share.

Nashvillians making their feelings about the DC Blox data center next to the @nashvillezoo known 🔥 @nonewdatacenters

"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

IKEA didn't build renewable generation to power 1.47 million homes because politicians told them to. They did it because the economics stacked up. With much of the investment already paid off, savings of over half a billion USD per year on electricity costs, the fundamentals become hard to ignore.

Data centers don’t just magically appear. Texas didn’t become the data center capital by accident. They go where politicians offer billion-dollar tax breaks, cheap power, weak regulations, and a giant welcome mat. If we’re serious about fighting these projects, follow the incentives.

BREAKING: in May 2026, *every single one* of the 599 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,665 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

This is a brilliant idea to force corporations to either raise pay rates for their employees or lower their payouts to CEOs 💯💯💯🎯
