Extremely retired addictions counselor. Sober 32 years, and for that I am as grateful as I know how to be. I vote blue in Louisiana. I’m probably the only Dem within 20 miles right about now. MA history. MA counseling. PhD hell raising back in the day.

I'm not going to repeat what he said, but UFC fighter Hokit is a despicable piece of shit. The sponsors, Monster energy drink, Bud Lite, Dodge Ram, and Jose Cuervo have not said a word. I say boycott them.

Thank you. The energy usage alone is prohibitive, and still mostly with fossil fuels no less. The water usage is just as prohibitive. Out of proportion with all other types of investment, public and private (just one example below). bsky.app/profile/left...

The US is now spending more on data center construction than on public transportation infrastructure

By the way, why are these horrible things getting any tax incentives at all? They’re raising the electric rates of the communities that they’re placed in, and those people still have to throw money at them? Why are you incentivizing them in the first place, let them go screw up someplace else!

Pausing tax incentives isn’t enough, putting a moratorium on all new data centers sounds more necessary so better planning is done in advance not after the fact.

Dozey Don went to the trouble of actually creating a chart to compare the length of the Reflecting Pool to the height of 3 various skyscrapers, for some reason known only to him. Towering over ALL of them is, of course, the #EPSTEIN_Files. #TheMidtermsCantComeSoonEnough

As long as Democratic leaders are considering approving ICE funding if reforms are made, I won't be contributing. The only sane path forward is a complete termination of all ICE facilities, operations, and agents. There is no scenario where ICE is acceptable. I will not live in a police state.

MAGA: Y’all just jealous ‘cause you gots Trump Derangement System. DEM: Uh, the word is ‘Syndrome,’ not ‘system.’ MAGA: They ain’t no such word as ‘syndrome.’ DEM: Sure there is. You have a cerebral-rectal inversion, which is a remarkably common syndrome among Republicans.

Regardless of whether Trump told him to do so the GOP has become the party of protecting pedophiles. And the Christian right? zzzzz

Jacobs: The War Powers Resolution of 1973 is very clear. After 60 days, the president is required to withdraw troops from hostilities unless Congress acts. Congress has not acted, and yet it is day 73 and my constituents are still in the region.

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.

Ever since my dog died, my neighbor has made a point of letting me visit with his goldendoodle in the mornings during their walks. It is pure joy. Man, America may be insane but there are pockets of goodness everywhere all the time.
