Christian Bale quietly dedicated roughly 17 years to developing a foster care village in Palmdale, California. The $20–22 million project was intentionally designed to keep siblings together in the foster system, providing them with family-style homes. It opened this week. Original post

JUST IN: A federal judge concludes that DHS leaders arbitrarily decided to cut FEMA staff by 50% even though it damaged the agency's ability to fulfill its mission — and leaders hid their comms about it on auto-delete Signal chains. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

OSSOFF: So we entered this war on false pretenses. Sound familiar? Not the first time the United States has been dragged into a quagmire in the Middle East on false pretenses about weapons of mass destruction.

‼️DISBAR BLANCHE‼️ July 22, 2026 New York City Bar Association Rise and Resit calls to disbar U.S. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. Over 100 former federal judges have filed ethics complaints citing conflict of interests, and politicization of the Department of Justice.

“In a brazen violation of her First Amendment right to free speech, two ICE agents from New Jersey tracked down Paigelynne Gonyea on Tuesday at her workplace. It happened to be a primary polling place inside the public library in downtown Syracuse.” @syracuse.com: www.syracuse.com/opinion/2026...

The Trump administration inked a $1.6 billion deal for a U.S. company to mine tungsten in Kazakhstan. The company is linked to Trump’s sons & Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s sons, who will be personally enriched by their fathers’ policy decisions. The corruption is breathtaking.

Social Security is earned, not given. We paid into it our entire working lives. Speaker Johnson knows how unpopular cuts would be. That’s why these conversations happen behind closed doors instead of out in the open. We earned these benefits. We’ll fight to keep them. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

On this day in 1860, Elizabeth Packard’s husband confined his sane, but insubordinate wife to a mental institution under an Illinois law that empowered husbands to make that decision alone. When Packard finally got out in 1863, she became a tireless advocate for reforming commitment laws. #WeTheMen

Just announced: OpenAI plans to lease a 9.2 gigawatt 100% fossil-fuelled data centre on Ohio. Its emissions will be between 20 - 37 MTCO2-e - somewhere between the total grid emissions of France -> Netherlands As much GHGs as 9.5 average coal plants. Will raise US total emissions by 0.5%

Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸

This blew my mind. Some of the largest data centers can require up to 5 million gallons of water per day, equivalent to the water use of 50,000 people. Why are we selling out the survival of our planet to enrich a handful of Big Tech CEOs?

Postal Service won’t deliver mail ballots for states that don’t hand over voter lists, under plan for 🔥Trump directive www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

If true, I have serious concerns about this being a war crime. Under the laws of armed conflict: Proportionality: the military advantage has to outweigh the anticipated civilian harm. Hard to see what military advantage would outweigh robbing 20k people of drinking water.

INVITATION ONLY: Google is having a semi-secret town hall today in Little Rock to push its ginormous data center, subsidized with #GoogleGiveway tax breaks foolishly agreed to by city leaders. #Arkansas #arpx #arnews #arleg arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

Trump’s DOJ proudly admits they’re deleting info about the insurrection, rewriting history right before our eyes as they prepare to reward the attackers with mountains of cash.

Families belong together. Period.

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of our voter clients, we just won DOJ voter data case. We are 6-0 and DOJ is 0-7. www.democracydocket.com/cases/maine-...

Donald Trump said out loud that he would rather dump a billion dollars a day on a war with Iran than pay for child care here at home. So much for America first.

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

🔥 AOC on whether she'll run for Senate or President in 2028: "They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go... But single payer healthcare is forever. A living wage, worker's rights are forever. ✊🏼

BREAKING: The FBI has raided L. Louise Lucas' office, the Virginia Democrat who championed the 10-1 congressional map proposal, which voters approved in the state special election last month. Lucas has also been an outspoken critic of Trump. Full story to come. Background:

Since Hamas was founded in 1987, they've killed a total of just over 2000 Israelis and foreign nationals. Israel, however, has killed over 72,500 in Palestine, and wounded 172,000 more just since 2023. In Lebanon, the death toll is 2,290 and over 1.3 million families displaced. Defund Israel.

NEW: I've been shocked by some of the numbers I've been seeing on behind-the-meter power plants for data centers, so I did a little math. less than a dozen gas plants being built to power data centers for big tech companies could emit a maximum of nearly 130 million tons of CO2e each year (!)

Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”
