It's good to use the resources at hand to fight because sometimes you win. Also, I keep thinking of the period after this man was killed and how a group of people tried to impose a new social reality. It didn't work. This too is a lesson.

Since EACH data center consumes up to 5 billion gallons of freshwater per day (www.eesi.org/articles/vie...), communities where they are to be sited are almost certain to confront shortages, rationing, monetization, and nearly insurmountable barriers to access to water for consumption.

More Venezuelan coverage from Venezuelans: the @globalvoices.org team has been putting this together in between venturing out to the streets to stock up on supplies and check the mood in the capital. There has already been a fresh round of journalist detentions so this is under the team byline.

"Jorge" shared this video to show how almond trees are pruned. He shares we're paid CA minimum wage. The almond tree pruning starts in Nov and ends in Feb. Early pruning is critical for a good production. Mistakes made at this stage are difficult to correct. #WeFeedYou

In Pennsylvania, parents are challenging Independence Law Center policies while trying to avoid a legal case that could go to the conservative Supreme Court. "ILC has worked on lawsuits seeking to start public school board meetings with prayer..."

After a white county in South Carolina rejected a data center, developers have sets their sights on a Black community for a proposed data center complex the size of 1,200 football fields

It is absolutely that hard when they don’t actually want to do it. the sophistication and strategy isn’t the problem. The refusal to have a core message and diversity of people in the room to get active is . Can’t share and strategize a message that they don’t want to send

The company that wants to exclusively use Three Mile Island’s nuclear energy to power their AI is laying off people. And I’m supposed to trust that they’re not going to cause another nuclear meltdown… Okay.

So Grok reflects what Elon did coming in to Twitter And there isn’t a real discursive space to talk about it , because the advocacy groups have centered on analyzing VC’s and villains over really preserving the timeline of this

This is why it annoys me when people try to make it seem as if this is how things have always been. There was a time when greater literacy and reading as a part of everyday life for people of every class was a national mission. Then it changed drastically and now we’re here.

This is important because we need to remind ourselves of these victims humanity when our government is working to systemically dehumanize them.

Nearly two decades after TVA coal ash spill, pain lingers for families of cleanup workers. Jacobs Engineering required employees to work without personal protection in cleaning up toxic byproduct of coal burning; many died after the work. tennesseelookout.com/2026/01/05/n...

do I need to post the thousand baby graves from the cemetery I used to work at again

We have watched Saeed get thinner and thinner. Please support.

Being forced to choose between staying in a jail or a person can leave the country isn’t a choice. It is an abusive and inhumane ultimatum. There is absolutely no reason to use the term “self-deport.” Don’t give legitimacy to these inhumane acts.

I think it's time to take the quotes off of Kavanaugh Stop. Capitalize it; make it a term that we use constantly in immigration discourse. Let Kavanaugh carry this around till he dies, and then let's put it in his obit.

$2829 to go now! Just $1329 would secure rent until I start getting regular paychecks again at the end of January. That would be a HUGE relief. Please keep sharing, it really helps! Thank you all so much! Paypal: affirmationgin at gmail Cashapp/Venmo: showupforthis gofund.me/bb286cf54

Help?

When it comes to your children, you don't and shouldn't use them, their health or even their lives to make a point or a statement. Unfortunately, that's the one thing about parenthood that gets lost when you can't see your children as anything other than property, a reflection of you or a burden

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jan 7 LemkinInstute: Genocide scholars of Intl Assoc of Genocide Scholars warn US may in early stages of genocide under intl law which covers religious, ethnic & racial groups. Genocide against socially-defined "gender groups" not well understood but may qualify.

Here's another opportunity to learn about the Venezuela situation from Venezuelans: a discussion yesterday with important digital rights advocates www.youtube.com/live/IzSmb_1...

Just a few months ago, Spark Space stayed open throughout the invasion of Gaza City, providing electricity, internet, and shelter for a hundred kids to take school exams. This is their commitment. And this is our duty and honor—keep Spark open: 100/300 chuffed.org/project/spar...

Hiltons “human trafficking” policy was designed to harass sex workers. Full stop. I’d get into it all but it gives me an ulcer. Sex workers have been screaming about this for a very long time.

Remember when Dems folded and got nothing and everyone was so happy and patting themselves on the back about getting the Epstein Files released and they just blacked everything out and started deleting shit and now they're bombing Venezuela because we re-opened the government. Anyway

Can we get this moving? Do something bold for this rebuilding project in Gaza—not just infrastructure, but also the capacity for youth to study, find jobs, and remain on their land. Spark Space is a root in the community. Keep it open. And click "weekly"! 75/300 chuffed.org/project/spar...

He wasn't killed by a bus. He was killed by the driver of the bus. Zionists are even killing anti-Zionist Jewish kids in Israel now.

Is that an ai image? Why does her chin look failed geometric shapes? Or someone put Barbie in the microwave and got caught before too much damage was done, but enough that the doll is just slightly melty?

I'm going to go with Lucifer. Everyone got their happy ending. It just took Chloe a really long time. And I always tear up at Maze and Eve riding off together on their motorcycle with wedding streamers tied to it.

Unclench your jaw. Relax your brow. Go get a drink of water. See if you've taken your meds Eat something. Doesn't matter what you look like right now, i think you look amazing. Because you do. You're a wonderful person. And have this. 🫂🖤 you did great today. You made it through

Probably unpopular opinion: But why are we giving these people coverage/or boosting coverage? It's the same as dunking someone online. The more you dunk them, the more you amplify them, the more people see their thinking, and the more it trickles down.

According to this data, of the quarter-million killed by Covid in the US across the two periods measured, 80% were over 65. And even more died in the years before this sample. Is it possible Covid now appears less deadly because proportionately fewer of the most vulnerable are still alive?

I will take a movie or tv show, thank you www.them.us/story/usa-ca...

btw for those who don't know why Americans with chronic illness got like 75% more stressed on Jan 1st, it is not just because all the insurance rates blew up. On 1/1, deductibles reset. which means you have to spend some amount of money (up to $10k sometimes) before your insurance COVERS ANYTHING

Selena (I remember hearing her song and then the radio station not long after reporting her murder and I sobbed), Dolores O'Riordan, Sinead O'Connor. Even though this one happened before I was born, I always wondered what the world would be like if Janis Joplin had lived longer.

Ok everybody, here's my last set of details for the night (maybe). I do have to factor in things I need from the store (like Swiffer pads) and Waymo fare to get a money order, but I should be done with December rent tomorrow and able to work on January! 🫠 💕💸

I would really appreciate it if D politicians who have been less than useful did not use the anniversary of an insurrection (failed but ongoing) as a fundraising opportunity.

In that stressful place of working again, but paychecks are weeks away, bills are already overdue and just getting further behind, we need groceries and gas, and I just can't catch up. I am so grateful for the help we've received. We need $2879 to make it. Will you please share this if you see it?

Israel: breaks ‘ceasefire’ (again) by literally murdering a child and harming other children, facts not in dispute AP [pretending to do journalism]: Israel says on social media they killed a terrorist and didn’t break the ceasefire

I know people believe that the Democrats are in the minority and can't do anything. I would encourage you to read about how, in fact, minority parties can be disruptive. If they want to be. You don't even have to read. You can just see how the Republicans acted during the Obama years.

Many of those republicans (including my Rep: Lloyd Smucker) that refuse to honor the law enforcement officers and the law should be sitting in a jail cell right now because of their traitorous actions on January 6th. But for politicians, laws are more like guidelines that they don’t have to follow.

Pa.’s current Secretary of State’s life was threatened during that time as well. He was and I think he still is, a Republican. And I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone being held accountable for those threats.

Waymo is Google and when you realize they're forcing this shit on you like Gemini, it starts to make sense. More cars are not the answer but that's exactly what Waymo is trying to sell you. And they are dangerous af. Most of driving is not rule/law following, it is reasoning. They can't do that.

*stares in Black history* What America were you in because in this one when people protested police brutality people in power publicly yearned for the days of Bull Connor...

Also to be precise he said "would likely", not that he definitively would have.

Goldman also admits he didn't vote for Mamdani in the general election, he wrote in Zellnor Myrie

However, Goldman now claims he would have voted differently on the censure against Tlaib.

In a frankly bizarre interview with the New York Times, Dan Goldman says he's not ready to conclude that Israel has committed any war crimes in Gaza. Not genocide, any war crimes at all.
