Once the Data Center is purchased...doesn't everything Quantica promised us go out the window? They're done, they built the thing and sold it so now they get to walk away and a new set of rules is put in by the owner. Jobs? What jobs? Salt in the water? Dumped in the pile out back. A leak? Meh.

The Northern Plains Resource Center on how hyper scale data centers will affect our water: "Often, data centers will put chemicals in the water they use for cooling, and when that water is discharged, it can cause very harmful effects if not treated." Quantica plans to use 15k-20k gallons per DAY.

The flat income tax Gianforte is championing will only benefit the wealthy. Find your household income, will your tax liability be lowered? Probably not! Again, flat tax only benefits the wealthy, it is not a tide that raises all boats 🙄 Send Gianforte an email saying he's saving you nothing.

My spouse has informed me that we have been added to a Montana starter pack. I suppose I should post something Montana-ish! Have some deer.

I realized last week that the reason I love tank tops is a sensory issue. Wearing fabric on my shoulders and in my armpits drives me up a wall. And I was a Gifted And Talented (GATe) child in elementary school. And I now carry earplugs with me because I'm sensitive to sounds. Hm. Lol

Peace. Above all else, peace.

Hoo boy, so the Trump-endorsed presumptive R nominee for Congress here in Montana tried to go on the offensive about Epstein at a candidate forum and it went over shockingly badly. Replacing a competent corrupt asshole in Zinke with an ultra-MAGA AM radio show freak, what an idea. #MTPOL

"CoreCivic is the largest owner and operator of ICE and Border Patrol detention centers. ...Democratic Governors Association has taken in hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from CoreCivic. These are...attempts by CoreCivic to influence state legislation." That's news to me!

Not Just Expiring Tax Credits: Here's six other ugly healthcare policy provisions which also just went into effect.

Last summer, when H.R.1, the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” (aka the Big Ugly BIll or the MAGA Murder Bill) was passed by Republicans, I pointed out that for all the cynical talk about the bill being ...

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

🎁 Article The schedule has gone from 17 routine shots to 11. Some, like the one leading cause of hospitalization in American infants, will only be given to high risk groups. Others will only be available after parents talk to a doctor. The choice is on families now and that should scare us all.

"In May, Oklahoma approved standards requiring teaching the conspiracy, led by Donald Trump, that the 2020 election was stolen and treating the Covid lab leak theory as fact." Well shit, look up your states' resent curriculum changes and keep an eye on them.

The far-right has spent the past several years accusing the left of teaching conspiracies and propaganda and indoctrinating children into extreme ideologies. Now, as you may have guessed, they're doing what they accused the left of doing, but it's probably worse than you think. My latest.

Facts: 1. The water AI data centers use to cool their servers is municipal water. Increase in municipal water use by AI data centers means less for you and me and at a higher cost. 2. The electricity AI data centers use to power their servers AND constantly train models also uses a lot of water.

Why is Everyone So Wrong About AI Water Use??

Democrats, we need to talk. These 8 senators let themselves get played by Republicans on reopening the government, and every one of us knew exactly how this would go. They handed Republicans the only leverage we had in the healthcare fight. 🧵
