The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
Today, at least 18 people were killed in Gaza. The saddest part is that some countries still genuinely think the bombing is going to stop. Pandora’s box is open. This will last for years, and we all know the final goal.

Israeli airstrikes bombed medical warehouses near Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, early Saturday 1 August. The strikes destroyed at least half of the facilities and extensively damaged nearby tents sheltering displaced Palestinians, witnesses said.
We aren’t Great… If America is the greatest country in the world... Why are millions afraid to call an ambulance? Why do people ration insulin? Why do families hold bake sales to pay for chemotherapy? Those aren't signs of greatness. They're signs that something is fundamentally broken.

It’s a Fair Question….. “Why is it that it takes 900 years and 5000 impact studies to build high speed rail but a 5 minute city council meeting is all it takes to approve a massive data center?”
To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.
Got the chance to see these talented players in action today! It was great having the @wnba.com at Home Court at the Obama Presidential Center for All-Star Weekend. 🏀
Israel is expelling surviving Palestinians from Gaza and the world remains silent Israel already controls nearly 70% of Gaza's territory. They are systematically displacing the Palestinian population that still survives among the ruins. The major media barely mention it
the whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport olympic shooting was mixed gender right up until a woman won the gold

DATA CENTERS: THE TRUTH "A big employer who uses the water of 50,000 people - which only hires about ten people - is not an employer. They are an extraction."
Dear Everyone, Please be sure to note in reporting on Iran’s attacks in Jordan, Qatar, and Bahrain, etc, that these attacks are ON AMERICAN MILITARY INFRASTRUCTURE. 🙏🏼 Those nations and our troops are being violently assaulted because of OUR gov’t mismanagement

Imagine if a woman president spent most her time raving and crying about an election she lost 6 years ago. Emotional. Unstable. Hysterical. Unfit to lead.

I will not be listening to opinions on gender and biology from those who think women originated from a rib cage…
I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you
