Ohio’s state sales tax exemption for data centers cost $1.6 BILLION in 2025 — 11x more than its original estimate. That’s $1.6 billion that could have gone to public schools and healthcare instead of Big Tech CEOs’ pockets. Is it any wonder communities are organizing against data centers?

Reminder that Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda. WaPo then laid off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon. Billionaire control of the media is a danger to us all.

The Department of Homeland Security has circulated a “Be on the Lookout” alert to law enforcement nationwide, targeting a comedian whose satire of US immigration enforcement went viral, @aurabogado.bsky.social of @injusticewatch.org reports.

I would love to know why people are willing to go along with the idea that it's fine for a president to keep his tax returns secret because it might destroy him if they're revealed.

Is it just me, or is it all the talk about reparations for descendants of slaves in this country, was completely bypassed for reparations for white supremacists like Proud Boy members who stormed the Capitol?

BREAKING: In a win for Maine and Wisconsin voters, federal courts ruled that the DOJ cannot obtain access to the states’ unredacted voter data. The DOJ is now 0-8 in its legal effort seeking access to such information. Full story to come.

Michigan just permanently protected 73,000 acres of land in the Upper Peninsula and opened it to the public. The deal, which was 5 years in the making, protects the land from habitat fragmentation and oil and gas exploration www.mlive.com/environment/...

Among the Jan 6ers eager to get in line for $1.8 billion in government money: a sex offender who bear-sprayed cops www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... @merylkornfield.bsky.social

bezos saying low earners should get their taxes cut while he evades billions in taxes is textbook dangling a shiny object so youre distracted

So, basically, we are paying his January 6 army to make another attempt to overturn the November election? Asking for the same members of society #USDemocracy

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

Eligible to be paid with your money after storming the Capitol and breaking into Nancy Pelosi’s office.

Reminder that Amazon... -Helps fuel ICE's deportation machine -Donated $1M to Trump's inauguration -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $75M for the Melania movie -Donated to Trump's WH ballroom -And wants to reboot The Apprentice with Don Jr as host

Solar Panels can be Strategically placed, I am not sure how useful data centers will be…. I find it odd that the same people who complained about solar panels being a waste of land have no issue with opening data centers 3x the size.

"There is nothing wrong with affordability politics – but it will not save us, or our electoral maps, from a Republican party that would rather decimate representation than persuade voters," writes @jamilsmith.bsky.social.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

ProPublica used leaked tax returns to calculate that through complex tax avoidance schemes, Jeff Bezos pays a tax rate of 0.98% www.propublica.org/article/the-... So if we doubled the taxes he pays, that would mean he'd still be paying less than 2%.

Do not be fooled into thinking Trump is all-powerful. The truth is he's never been weaker — and America is on track to deliver him a historic midterm rebuke.

We only rate dogs. This is a precious little seal. She is laying on the beach and everything. Please be more respectful of our craft, and only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 (IG: jaynjoyyy)

Donald Trump has spent his entire term trying to gut federal funds for SNAP, public schools and utilities relief. Yet he has no problem using your tax dollars to create a slush fund intended to pay out his political allies and insurrectionists who stormed the Capital. I'm angry. You should be too.

This is the height of corruption. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

On this day in 1985, the city of Philadelphia went to war against its own citizens. I wrote about it for @teenvogue.com back in 2020: www.teenvogue.com/story/histor...

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) defended his decision to suspend his state’s ongoing primary election to redraw the congressional maps, even after 45,000 ballots had already been cast, saying that discarding those votes was “not a big” deal. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

The Committee on Science, Space, and Technology has called out Trump for firing the National Science Board, and we are too. Visit the link in our bio to sign your support for NSB, or go here: zurl.co/GIgPw #StandUpForScience #Science #SaveScience #NSB #Congress

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In case you are wondering how DOJ is doing in court.

Remember when you told us we were being hysterical the night of the election in 2016? Remember when you told us SCOTUS was gonna be fine? That they wouldnt strip away abortion rights? Remember when we told you they were coming after marginalized communities?

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

They're just straight up calling autism a social contagion now. Exactly the same thing they did to trans people.

🔴PAY ATTENTION: The Governor of Louisiana is declaring an emergency to cancel an ongoing election so that his party can rig the rules moving forward. This is not just about redistricting... www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.” (Published July 2025)

Goodbye, get lost, and we'll see you soon.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the National Council of Jewish Women and Louisiana voters, my law firm has sued Governor Jeff Landry (R) and Secretary of State Nancy Landry (R), challenging the state’s decision to suspend the 2026 congressional primary elections. www.democracydocket.com/cases/louisi...

The nativists were always planning to bring about dystopian tyranny in their quest to purify our population. But you should be aware that these agents aren't going to be able to resist snooping on their neighbors, landlords, bosses, exes, and enemies, while they're at it, too.

Hey everybody! I am taking the helm of this classic American institution with @theonion.com and want to know what you fine folks would like to see from us.

For fuck's sake, sign up for The Onion, and get a free limited edition IW tote. A share of merch sales will go to the Sandy Hook families, which will be the first time they get any money since they filed this lawsuit eight years ago. Legal fees have been insane. Please sign up and help us out!

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

Here's how we're taking over InfoWars.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil. It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

The Onion has successfully bought InfoWars. Happy 4/20. 😂

LET’S GO BLUE!!! #michiganbasketball #wolverines

🇱🇺Luxembourg has enshrined abortion rights in its constitution, the second country, after France, to do so.

Facts spoken by an ex-trumper...

There has been white nationalist/Nazi content floating around in US political culture since the 1940s. What’s changed is that Trump’s GOP has become an institutional engine for amplifying and normalizing such garbage.
