#bigoil & #gas is building power-plant infrastructure to chain #AI #datacenters to #fossilfuel for years to come. They could use solar, wind & batteries but once the gas-plants and grid infrastructure is built, they won’t change their power source & eventual more intelligent AI may fight to keep it.

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Miller is trying to skirt Congress and pass the SAVE Act himself. There have been nearly 110,000 comments submitted so far, mostly in favor. 🤬 We need to push back against the tide!

Using our military to intimidate people you disagree with politically doesn't make you look strong.

It makes you look weak.

It's reckless, it's disrespectful, and yet another action beneath the office of the presidency.
