I testified in Judge Mehta's courtroom. I told the truth. A jury convicted. The system worked. Then the people running the executive branch decided the outcome was inconvenient and started tearing it down from the inside. That's not the courts failing.…
Data centers (and detention camps!) — big box buildings on the edge of life —are THE ISSUE because they tangibly encapsulate every other issue—environment, corruption, accountability, social (media) fracturing, and a politics of impunity that drops disaster on locals, then claims to know 🚫 about it
Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 17h agoI’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 man might go to prison for allegedly wiping his phone before DHS officials could search it. No warrant for the phone, no specific claim of what 'evidence' might be on it. But he used a duress/wipe password, leading to the charge Watch more and subscribe here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmik...
for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.
Indeed, for 2026 Democrats, the "fringe opinion" is unwavering support for Israel. Centrists who pretend to be gobsmacked that someone criticizing Israel's genocide in Gaza might do well in a Democratic primary are announcing that they don't know anything about the current state of politics.
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 12h agoI mean this sincerely: I think pro Israel people really need to begin internalizing that this is not a fringe opinion anymore and in fact is very statistically likely to be the average view of any brown Democratic candidate for office or any candidate under the age of 50
"So he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video" is a direct callback to this image that deserves a second life in this campaign
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 14h agoDr. Abdul El-Sayed: Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video. If you want a senator who's gonna lick some boots, go vote for Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Trump, you've got your option.
Have James Carville and Bill Maher left the Democratic Party yet? Let me be the first to say, "Good morning, good afternoon, and goodnight!"
Billionaires Own The Politicians, And Politicians Write The Bills For Their Owners.......
This asshole just gets to drop shit on the moon now? WTF?
While you get kicked off your health insurance, Trump is bragging that his tax cuts helped his buddy buy a private jet.
From @jhollymc.bsky.social : “The Memphis (un)Safe Task Force shot and killed 4 men in two months, wounded another three. All the men killed have been Black. There’s been painfully little news coverage.” 🦗 🦗 tennesseelookout.com/2026/08/03/s...

America is at war with Iran and we have a HGTV President
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Now we have a big decision to make. Do we take the pavers that are red -- the red, brick pavers -- and do we change them into a granite?"
This is pretty straightforward, and it's weird to me that people are against it.

Here's the full second segment I did with Bloomberg last week, talking about the circular AI economy, SpaceX and how AI is a gratuitous display of wealth inequality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Gc...

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com · 5d agoOne of the (many) reasons I think people are so anti-AI is that it’s a gratuitous display of wealth inequality. The average person’s life is difficult, expensive, and getting any kind of loan sucks - unless you’re raising billions of dollars to build an AI data center.
It's not just that our university presidents have failed to engage in loud, public collective action to oppose the existential assault on our institutions. It's worse. They've been actively complicit. A total moral failure. A total collective action failure. Adverse selection in authoritarian times.
Dominique Baker@bakerdphd.bsky.social · 3d agoSo no I'm not surprised by: "the administration’s latest move was developed in partnership with university leaders, primarily the Association of American Universities, which represents dozens of top research institutions including all eight Ivy League colleges." 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.
The news story about Donald Trump being desperate for immunity for tax fraud & the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capital One for widespread money laundering are RELATED.
It’s out in the open because they do not fear the consequences. So let’s make them fear them.
I dunno, but the President of the United States declaring daily a bunch of obviously false things seems like it should be a scandal.

Every time you use genAI, you're supporting an ongoing genocide in Congo. Earlier this year, the US and UAE (which is, with our help, also committing genocide in Sudan) created a paramilitary force to ensure the flow of cobalt and rare earth minerals extracted by child slaves to create GPUs.
Congo Plans Paramilitary Unit for Mines with US, UAE Funding
The Democratic Republic of Congo will create a paramilitary unit to police its mines with funding from the US and the United Arab Emirates, the country’s General Inspectorate of Mines said.

Imagine a bank closing the accounts of the sitting president and the reason listed is money laundering. Just imagine the appropriate level of political scandal that something like that should cause. Now imagine the leading newspaper of the country, @nytimes.com, not writing a word about it
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 3d agoNEW: Capital One closed hundreds of Trump accounts for money laundering. We wouldn’t have known if Trump hadn’t sued. Now he’s got tax immunity. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-capita...
The greatest magic trick of them all is *lying*. The reason you can't figure out that coin vanish even after the conjurer performs it three times in a row is that they *didn't* do the same trick three times in a row! 1/

Looks like it's time to fire up the old hurdy-gurdy for another rousing chorus of: 🎵MAGA is a war of men against women And Donald Trump is its Generalissimo🎵 Same tune for the better part of a decade & most Americans still can't see that violent misogyny is a *political program* supported by many.
George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social · 3d ago“The president and first lady seemed totally unfazed about whether there was an abuser—another abuser—in their workplace.

People don't want to deal with climate change because it's inconvenient. Same way they didn't want to deal with COVID. There's a large group of folks who are annoyed by and deny facts that would require them to make life changes. Easier to attack the messenger. Anyway, this is a good 🧵
