The Number of Regular People Being Arrested for Protesting Data Centers Is Astounding
All over the United States, ordinary people are risking their freedom to take a stand against data centers in their communities.

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.
I find it *deeply* depressing that guys like Max Miller and Ken Paxton remain viable candidates for federal legislative positions. At *worst*, 45% of people who can and do vote in their respective elections, will vote for them.
Jeezus f**king Christ... In essence that ruling says that any time your side doesn't win an election, just ransack the capitol, and everything will be okay...

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.
Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.
We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
🌊 Nearly 90 California lawmakers have sent a clear message: No new offshore drilling and continued strong protection for California’s iconic coast! 🧵
If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.

It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.
On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️
El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250
A sweet little girl with autism brought her stuffed puppy to the dog show. One of the judges noticed her, came over, and asked if she’d like to show her dog too. What followed was pure magic. Original post
I love this painting! Happy Birthday former POTUS Barack Obama! You’re 65 today! Dig that tan suit!
The rocket and satellite company beat Wall Street's loss forecasts in its first quarterly report as a public company, even as investors question its heavy AI spending and whether Elon Musk has oversold its prospects.

My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Some quotes from me on the search for German chokepoints vis à vis China and the broader challenge the EU faces in tackling the China earthquake for European industry. www.scmp.com/economy/chin...
What would a German audit for Chinese supply chain dependencies find?
Although many analysts deem the search long overdue, they warn that German leverage would be both hard to implement and short-lived.

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.
60 Minutes Epstein Banking Story Vanished After CBS Ousted Sharyn Alfonsi, Dem Senator Reveals
Wyden revealed he was interviewed for the show in a Senate report alleging the country's largest banks turned “a blind eye” to Epstein's financial activity

I have two more minutes to wish my favorite president a happy birthday. Happy birthday, President Obama! I hope you’re laughing somewhere with your beautiful family.
Universities cannot make money teaching home undergrads or doing funded research. Indeed, those run at a large loss. Only teaching international students make sense in any way. The logical endpoint is taking only international students, reducing research and moving many ops out of the UK altogether.
