The environmental cost being churned out by AI data centers is getting absurd. It spells out a worldview where tech capital and extreme power moves matter more than people, nature, and democracy. It’s a system operating completely without a moral compass.
The Pollution Being Churned Out by AI Data Centers Is So Severe That It's Almost Incomprehensible
The extent of the pollution being put out by thousands of data centers is shocking. Some developers are exploiting regulatory loopholes.

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

This “tax immunity” for Trump & all “his affiliates” is way more than just getting out of paying taxes. It’s to hide his corrupt financial dealings. When an IRS audit finds evidence of criminal financial wrongdoing or fraud, they do a criminal investigation & they refer it to DOJ.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdaySchiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"
I know it won’t make a difference, but keep calling your Republican Senators to both urge them not to confirm Todd Blanche or at least to shame them. Let them know we see them.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayBooker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

This is so typical of the Trump Regime. Vaccines that have proven lifesaving over a century & have had their side effects closely studied are demonized by RFK Jr/MAHA. But unproven & potentially dangerous peptides are approved BY THE PEOPLE WHO PROFIT FROM THEM. 🤦🏽♀️ www.science.org/content/arti...

Outside the Torrance County Detention Facility in Estancia, NM. Farmers don't have enough water for crops and livestock, but the federal government has enough water to detain immigrants in inhumane conditions and without due process.
Opinion | When I vote for Trump, it’s a strategic triangulation that doesn’t reflect my real values. When urban Democrats nominate a leftist in a deep blue district, it’s proof that every member of their party is an America-hating extremist.

Miller, Trump & every Republican whine about Dems & the left “violent rhetoric” as we try to push back against Trump’s tyranny. But their violence is not rhetoric. It’s REAL. Brutal ICE kidnappings, murdering peaceful protesters & immigrants in our streets, murdering 100s of strangers in boats.

Take Note: We are in a GLOBAL WAR against CRIMINAL, LAWLESS OLIGARCHS whose plan is to divide the entire globe amongst themselves, control all governments, feed off our taxes, and basically enslave all of us. If you think this is hyperbole, you're not paying attention. VOTE FOR DEMOCRAT FIGHTERS.
