I’ve been screening our documentary with organizing communities in the South. So far, the organizers mention data centers first at every single event. From racial justice orgs to old school activists who don’t usually think about tech policy. This has legs.

this is so fucking disgusting.

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.

“Trump slamming his old friend Pirro shows that when even the most trusted allies offer him the truth, he won’t accept it. Trump is not going to have some sudden epiphany about the need for an open and honest policy process.” also: points for the comparison to Nicolae Ceaușescu

“the president has encased himself in the hard amber of irrationality that inevitably surrounds authoritarian leaders. He has become detached from reality—and that detachment is extremely dangerous.” (Gift article) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Has anyone offered the guy financial support for having to defend himself?!??? It is more than a miscarriage It is an assault

If a U.S. Olympian can be accused of vandalism for touching water, what does that mean for the rest of us?

As long as we continue to make political choices under the context of political fights, instead of perhaps, calm civilized comparisons on policy approaches we will be in a constant state of “fence mending“ I crave for a society that doesn’t go by Jerry Springer rules

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 15h ago

El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.

On social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?

Coulda told you that like a decade ago, Big John.

European-led system could become more durable because it would be less dependent on decisions in DC. Alternatively, it could become slower and more fragmented. The critical headline is essentially: The US says aid will continue, but it is preparing to stop leading the system that organizes it.
