If you want an angle for an investigative article about this, I can assure you that the AF will *not* do any of the environmental impact reports required to make sure adding huge AI data centers to these bases don't damage the water table in the area. USAF bases have an awful environmental history.

The Air Force is offering space on five of its bases for companies to build artificial intelligence data centers, part of a broader push by the Trump administration to speed up development of the infrastructure needed to enable the rapid development and adoption of AI technology.

NO KINGS? Just show up. No frog costume, OKAY! No sign, OKAY! The most effective message we can send is that we are here, our numbers are vast, and we are not going to continue to take it.

JUST SHOW UP. You'll feel better. I promise.

I've recently been reminded that at least some of the immigrants that Abbot sent the Texas national guard to kidnap, are the same immigrants Abbott flew to Chicago in the dead of winter in flip flops and a t shirt to overwhelm the city. Instead Chicago residents clothed, fed and resettled them

Trump found another $20 BILLION to give to Argentina, totaling their bailout to $40 BILLION.

Yet we can’t afford to prevent millions of Americans from losing their healthcare.

Shame.

This Supreme Court case in Louisiana is about one thing, and one thing only: reinstituting Jim Crow by way of ensuring that Black Americans are taxed without receiving representation in Congress.

Everything else is noise and bluster.

This stolen Supreme Court is going to send us back to the 1860s.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Pediatricians are facing an ethical dilemma: drop unvaccinated families to protect other patients or keep them and hope they change their minds. If we’re talking about free will, that goes both ways, doctors have the right and duty to protect their patients. Drop the families.

2spirit is NOT a modern identity adopted by Indigenous people but a reclamation of pre-colonial identities and roles that were suppressed by colonialism. Historically, Two-Spirit people held important social, spiritual, and ceremonial roles, often revered as having unique perspectives and wisdom.

My only concern about re-joining the EU is that some of the Brexiteers who have fled the country might return.

Next they'll send a missile to destroy Machado's bathtub rubber ducky, because they'll have "intelligence" that it's filled with drugs.

On the one hand you have a political party that believes in the rule of law. On the other hand, you have a political party which is lawless & authoritarian. The journalist who presents these as being of equal democratic legitimacy is dragging society half way into lawlessness. This isn't neutrality.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.
