SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

Are you feeling stuck on how to take actions towards repair? Or how to heal from harm? You are not alone. Grieve the harm you have caused and received to take another step closer to meaningful action:

The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.

Data centers have contaminated ground water in Oregon. They've released smog into the air in Memphis. And they've contributed to electricity bill spikes — all while receiving millions of dollars in tax breaks. Is it any wonder why a nationwide backlash against AI data centers is brewing?
