AI data centers aren't just raising people's energy bills, they're devastating the environment & eroding grid reliability.

The decline of Swedish social democracy is an illuminating case study in why the Left is losing the working class. It also offers clues as to how the Left might win workers back.

Speed wasn’t deemed a factor.
As drivers seem increasingly unable to pay attention to the road, should speed limits be lowered?
For me, a reluctant driver, lower speed limits seem like a fair trade off to protect the physical integrity of our fellow humans.

Nicolaides must resign
Demetrios Nicolaides stood by while the UCP silenced teachers. Now he’s forcing them back to overcrowded classrooms with no support, no solutions, and no respect.
He’s failed teachers, students, and families.
It’s time for him to resign.
Sign the petition 👇
