“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”

My “this is not a golden calf” shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

Hello everybody, I want to believe just as much as anybody else does but I really need to tell you that in my 10+ years of experience as a disinformation expert, the only reason UFO shit gets put out by the government is to distract you from other really bad things

‼️‼️

This is ridiculous and yet helped by two decades of mainstream euphemisation of far-right politics as "populism" and their conflation with left-wing alternatives, thus demonizing the latter

History repeats itself, only because we keep forgetting.

oh so we are just treating obscure fetish shit as mainstream news now huh

Voters: We want fighters! Amy: *curls up in fetal position*

“Trans people should flee red states,” has more or less been the liberal response to the years long legal oppression and elimination of rights for trans folks. Okay, cool, so you’re funding relocation programs? You’ll provide transitional housing? You’ll pay our rent? Give us jobs? Yeah, right.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

Read this whole thread. It's extra worth it.

Defeated. He could barely stand out of round one. Wearing Will2rise shorts.

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:

Yenta was an incredible friend & mentor. The world is a better place because of her work. She inspired, taught, & supported so many in the antifascist community. May her & Mike rest in peace.

Need $200 asap if anyone can get it to me or get me close Sorry folks

It’s kinda cool how Scahill and all these intercept guys were like who I aspired to be like in college when I wanted to go to journalism school and now they’re the kinda people I’d monitor as a journalist

MTG is still a far-right racist conspiracy theorist, but Ryan Grim wants to give her endless praise.

The idea of "overturning" or "repealing" the 14th Amendment was a pretty fringe proposition until recently, but it wasn't unheard of. Obviously the former Confederates wanted to do that. But it was also a white nationalist talking point in the Cold War era. This is 1988.

Honor the memory of Laura Sullivan by supporting and boosting the ongoing work of @onepeoplesproject.bsky.social.

Beware any influencers that suddenly started portraying Xavier Becerra as strong, masterful leader within the past few weeks. This operation exposed some kind of weird propaganda network in our midst. No way there was a sudden outpouring of organic passion for an Empty Suit at 4% in the polls.

This last winter we had a record heatwave, the hottest March on record, and, at the end of this week the Phoenix City Council passed this inhumane measure, there will be another heatwave. The heat kills hundreds of unhoused people a year and our City looks at that and says “not enough.”

If you use "A.I." to publish something it has to come with the professional death penalty. You cannot work in news ever again. Yes I know that's not how it actually goes – so many plagiarists are still thriving – but if it is up to me you are fucking done. Pack up your shit and hit the bricks.

"Fascists tell us that we have no bonds with each other save state and race and other such trivial connections. They do this to tear us apart from our shared humanity—to make us vulnerable to their whims, their bullshit, their violence. Our connections with each other are the best antidote to this."

This week, we lost Laura Sullivan of @onepeoplesproject.bsky.social, an incredible pillar of antifascism. Laura was one of the first people to reach out & believed in me. LCRW is still here because of her. Featuring comment by @dlj.bsky.social, @jaredlholt.bsky.social, & @mxscottkernest.bsky.social

they are stealing the election *now*

One of the signs that MAGA is a true death cult is how their list of targets is otherwise inexplicable. Even under the most cynical partisan analysis, there's no reason to consider nurses, therapists, and PAs their enemies. MAGA does this because they want healthcare resources to be scarce.

Americans hate children to the point that if you ask most voters of any party if they'd vote to abolish JUST juvie they will spit in your face and say the meanest shit you have ever heard in your life about what should be done to bad kids and their parents too via eugenics in the first 4 words

Valentina Orellana-Peralta, 14, was fatally struck by bullet as officer opened fire at a store while confronting a customer

A jury rejected a wrongful death lawsuit against LAPD officer William Dorsey Jones Jr., who killed 14-year-old Valentina Orellana-Peralta with a round fired at an armed man that ricocheted into the Burlington Coat Factory dressing room she was hiding in w/ her mom.

As far as I can tell, Keir Starmer thinks "Labour" means "the UK can must shall and will become the country we are as seen in 'Children of Men'".

Meta was found guilty of designing addictive platforms. Now, it wants the verdict of the landmark LA trial thrown out. Once again, Meta is hiding behind Section 230, the 1996 law that shields Big Tech from liability. It's time Congress reforms this outdated law.

TPUSA released some supposed chapter stats and (obviously grain of salt and all that) but they’re claiming an increase since December’s AmericaFest conference. College clubs up about 100 (they reported 1432 in December) and high school Club America chapters up ~500 (they reported 3082 in December).

One of the things I always find fascinating is how law enforcement reacts when they realize there’s a camera on them. Photo 1: before the DHS agent noticed my camera Photo 2: after the DHS agent noticed my camera Both taken on May Day in Milwaukee, WI near the federal courthouse downtown.

i hate that older Black people have to live through this shit again. i think about my mom, who integrated schools and had white girls be shocked that she didn't have a tail. and my grandfather, who served in a segregated army unit; human enough to serve, not human enough to die next to anyone white.

Laura & Mike were there for me very early on, supporting me when this was just a one person blog. LCRW wouldn’t be what it is without them. I miss them terribly

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social burns a confederate flag in the rotunda after the House passed 9-0 maps stripping Memphis of representation… #Memphis #JimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee

“NO JIM CROW” “STOP THE TN STEAL” Senator Charlane Oliver stands on her desk with a banner to oppose the racist 9-0 map as republicans strip Memphis of congressional representation. @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Update: Florida man who threatened to kill @washingtonpost.com columnist Catherine Rampell and @mehdirhasan.bsky.social, CEO of @zeteo.com, was sentenced April 29 to 2+ years in prison.

Happening now: Cook County officials, the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights and other immigrant advocacy groups are holding a presser outside the county's Domestic Violence Court in Chicago, re: federal immigration agents being spotted at 4 separate Cook County courthouses today.

This semester I taught a course on the History of the Far Right in the US. We were lucky to have one of the Pacific Northwest's best contemporary chroniclers and interpreters of the far right, @leahsottile.bsky.social, visit the class. This piece by Leah was inspired by what she heard students say.

“California is monitoring an undisclosed number of residents who had also been on the ship”

The profiles of people like Tucker Carlson and all the anti-trans stories aren’t accidents. We’re being subjected to corporate centrists emotionally preparing themselves to ally with fascists against us as leftist energies and demands for change grow. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-corpor...

the Ohio House passed Bill 249 targeting drag performers & gender-nonconforming people as "adult cabaret”. the language in it is so vague that the state now dictates how everyone dresses in public with the cops as fashion critics. “What you wear should not be a crime.”

Extremism expert Alexander Ritzmann warns about the Active Clubs popping up around the world. “This is not just a nationalist sports club. It’s the strategy to build a neo-Nazi militia.” You can watch my entire interview at the link below. www.hatecomestomainstreet.com/p/extremism-...

Photojournalist Ethan Cohen was shoved by police and flung backward by a federal agent while covering a “May Day Strong” rally in LA on May 1.
