Why don't companies building #datacenters understand that if they committed to building renewable energy systems, water-efficient cooling systems, and worked transparently with local communities there would be much less opposition to their plans?

Trump Unleashes Racist Tirade That should be the headline in every newspaper.

Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

Vance just held an outrageous presser in which he defended Vivek's vile attacks on Acton, agreed w/ Witkoff's assessment of Putin as a "humanitarian," and had gall to claim "there's no person who hates people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the govt than Donald J Trump" Supercut:

An envoy from Donald Trump, a rapist who abuses children, promotes genocide, and corruptly uses his political position to steal money, telling Putin that he is just like Donald Trump, has a point, just not the one he makes.

Right-wing billionaires now own the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, CBS News, virtually every local TV station, virtually every news radio station, most local newspapers, X, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. (Did I miss any?) They own almost the entire information environment.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

He's such a comedian, isn't he?

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

Two neighbors live less than 2,000 feet apart. One pays up to $500/month for electricity. The other averages $130. One has investor-owned National Grid. The other by a municipal utility. @popovichn.bsky.social and I dug into America’s widening power bill divide: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

The Republican Party is on the side of Russia against Ukraine. It’s not me saying that, it’s their cult leader. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

Dan Kibler reposted

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Dan Kibler reposted

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

New in PN: Trump’s meme coin grift hits a new low "It’s the certainty of staggering losses that makes clear this is nothing but a festival of bribery. No one who spends millions to attend these tacky dinners expects a return. They’re just giving the president money in hopes it'll buy them favors."

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

As climate scientists, it sucks to be defunded. But it adds insult to injury to be defunded by this moron who has access to the best climate science and data in the world and still says asinine things like this.

1. Eric Schmitt booked this show as a victory lap for his "gotcha" moment revealing "proof" that Jack Smith was at an Atlanta Hawks game. 2. That "proof" blew up in Schmitt's face. 3. Instead of cancelling this appearance, he dishonestly colludes with the hosts to pretend he did have that proof.

CHARLIE KIRK SHOW: Dang! So you had texts from Smith's team confirming he was going to a Hawks game, and he acted dumbfounded? ERIC SCHMITT: It was the only NBA game going on in Atlanta. He claimed later he was at another game. My job is to ask the questions (All of Schmitt's "facts" were wrong!)

Fox News just did a long segment on this Jack Smith hearing and, you're never going to be believe this, but they didn't play any of Schmitt embarrassing himself.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:
