Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

Powerful coalition forming in St. Louis, MO, from labor to racial justice to environmental groups, to defeat a local $1B+ data center. This comes on the heels of community coming together to defeat the St. Charles data center in recent months www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/news...

💥BREAKING💥THOUSANDS of low-wage #MOworkers and allies are rallying *inside* the state Capitol to fight Trump’s power grab — right as lawmakers try to ram through their illegal plan to redraw our districts, break up our communities, and steal away working class power ❌

The other journalists killed: reporter Mohammed Qreiqeh, videographers Moamen Aliwa and Ibrahim Zaher and operator Mohammed Noufal. The Israeli murder of Palestinian journalists is always intentional, always met with silence. And that's why it keeps happening. don't look away

⚖️ Yesterday, IRIS drivers joined dozens of low-wage workers with #StandUpKC, community allies, and @jobsandfreedom.bsky.social to file a class action lawsuit against zTrip demanding THOUSANDS of dollars of back pay in missing overtime wages!
