The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.

The data center rebellion is here, and it’s reshaping the political landscape Backlash over the proliferation of data centers has entered the national political conversation and could affect voters of all political persuasions in this year’s midterm elections.

Data centers will be THE political issue in many key races around the country over the next several years & Dems need to get all over it because this is a grass roots issue that transcends party. Want to get back in the game in rural America? This is how. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Hey so this seems like something more people should be talking about 🤔 🗳️

you know how there's a quiet car on commuter trains like amtrak and njtransit? there should be a loud car where all the people who refuse to use headphones are required to sit.

2 Men Linked to China’s Salt Typhoon Hacker Group Likely Trained in a Cisco ‘Academy’ The names of two partial owners of firms linked to the Salt Typhoon hacker group also appeared in records for a Cisco training program—years before the group targeted Cisco’s devices in a spy campaign.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

A PBS News tweet explains how two laid-off USAID employees created a website to match donors with canceled programs, keeping nearly 80 projects running in 30 countries. Below the text is an image of two people—Caitlin Tulloch and Rob Rosenbaum—appearing in a split-screen video interview, each seated in their respective rooms.

Meet two heroes of our times.

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

He sure is

Welp!

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it "Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

“This is now a MAGA court, and Roberts is at the helm."

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

If you only learn ONE thing from me this month…
let it be this short list of internal switches that reset your body on command.👇

What do you think made America great?

I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country.

And I also know who truly hates America:

• The KKK
• 3 Percenters
• Proud Boys

Republicans are institutionalizing Sociopathy-Psychopathy. Not one iota of hyperbole. Don't think for a nanosecond that it can't happen here.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Comedy always leads, but when Jimmy Kimmel said, Donald Trump can't take a joke, I thought he offered a seminal insight into how the country got here. We're here because a petty but (inexplicably to me) charismatic man seized control of government to exercise his personal need for revenge.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 🇺🇸

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks.

Joy Reid nailed it.

I just saw a comment that said "I don't support what happened to Charlie, but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie."

THAT ... that's what I've been trying to put into words.
