People across the political spectrum want candidates who stand up to Silicon Valley billionaires and AI data centers. 66% of Independents & 47% of Republicans want to back candidates running to pause data center construction. That's how we'll win today, and again on Nov 3rd.

Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund. Amazon got $600 million. Trump is sending the "refunds" to the companies, not working people. Every single cent of these refunds should go back to American consumers.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

I made dinner for my abuser a bunch of times. You have to play nice while you're planning your escape so you don't get dead. Max Miller is a textbook abuser.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

I was talking to a friend and realized that a lot of people don't know that officially Karen Carpenter died because of side effects of re-feeding. They fed her so aggressively that it damaged her heart. It's 2026 so the re-feeding process is at least in theory better but anorexia has a long tail.

Had he been working under an adult president and not the child that presided over 2020, he would have saved even more lives without having to contend

Is there a place for the F-bomb? Absofuckinlutely. Every damn day. But unless you're quoting someone else, the U.S. Senate Chambers is not the place for it. And *never* to attack a true public servant. This means you, Bernie Moreno.

NYC has both a very powerful executive and a frankly enormous amount of fiscal capacity relative to any other city or even most state governorships. I think more blue state Dems should think about ways to concentrate power and expand their jurisdictions fiscal capacity!

Let me make this clear: if you use AI to advertise your game, I will not play it. If you use AI to advertise your services, I will not use them or hire you. If you use AI in documents/articles to get me to work with you, I will not. If you don't care enough to do it yourself, why should I care?

Chaco Canyon has immense cultural, spiritual, and historical significance, and the Trump administration wants to fully revoke its 10-mile cultural protection zone. Tomorrow is the last day to submit your comments. Go tell the Trump administration NO.
