42 Million Americans will face hunger because the Republican-controlled congress that we elected is not doing their damned job. Please Remember this in November 2026 - hunger is not partisan.

Dear Americans: Trump pissing on our Constitution to create a Republican Elitist Neo-Feudal Plutocracy is about as Un-American as you can get.

In America we tend to hate communism yet we love our communities, and stand by them thick or thin. Tonight I stand with Chicago, LA, Portland, DC, come stand beside me against this tyranny.

I blame Hollywood, TV, and the Republicans for the devolved gullible state of the US. The GOP b/c they fund countless stink tanks & fake associations to sow doubt on settled law & science. Hollywood & TV b/c they never saw a craptastic kookspiracy they wouldn't use for a plot shortcut.

Across the nation we must insist that local govs, PUC's, PSC's, and other energy grid governing bodies always insist that new Data Centers provide their own infrastructure and clean energy as part of the build licensing process. OTHERWISE RATEPAYERS AND TAXPAYERS PAY FOR AI AND CRYPTO MINING!
