This is an edit made by a #wnba fan (@loslynx on the clock app). I’m sharing this because the league could have done this but they chose to lean into antagonism as a motif when the camaraderie and sisterhood is what makes the W so unique.
Flock cameras have no place in Texas. They can piece together an exact map of your behavior — the places you went and how long you were there. Flock calls this “pattern-of-life” mapping. Texans call it something else: government overreach.

“Consumerism as activism” can be a questionable tactic… but it’s worth noting: if you all see COYOTE VS ACME this weekend and make it a giant hit… you will specifically humiliate David Zaslov and make him miserable… while also seeing an entertaining and heartfelt movie. The definition of win/win.

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.
NEW: We obtained recordings of 160+ emergency calls made from or about an immigration detention center where three people died within six weeks. “They will not give them medical treatment,” one caller said, seeking help for a detainee with kidney stones.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.
Data centers in the 7 states with the highest concentration of them use more water than L.A., Phoenix, and D.C. combined. Now Trump's EPA is making it even harder for communities to push back against them. He's forcing the Big Tech takeover on America, democracy be damned.

Under the proposal, states would no longer need to provide public notice or solicit comments on air pollution permits for data centers and other projects.

1/ Arizona just approved a 154% sewer rate hike on a retirement community. Retirees on fixed Social Security now owe $920 more a year, straight to a private equity fund in Amsterdam. This is the playbook, and it's happening everywhere. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
