Data centers consume massive amounts of water – companies rarely tell the public exactly how much
In 2024, one data center in Iowa consumed 1 billion gallons of water, enough to supply all the state’s residences with water for five days.

“I don’t care how much they scream… I don’t care how many of my fellow American citizens who recklessly impede legitimate law enforcement operations suffer the consequences of their reckless actions… I don’t care, I want my country back, whatever it takes, no matter how much it costs.”
We are dealing with a Western Christian supremacist movement willing to see millions die in the name of racial purity. This is William Wolfe. A year ago he was invited with fourteen other faith leaders to the WH. Today he is praising ICE for killing peaceful observers. This is Christian fascism.

After the first shots are fired, the man collapses on the ground. Agents back away. At least another 5 shots are fired toward the man who is already incapacitated on the ground.

“ICE goes masked for a single reason—to terrorize Americans into quiescence.”
Judge SLAMS the masking of federal agents in ruling finding Trump admin violated pro-Palestine protesters' rights:
"To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan."

![And there’s the issue of masks. ... ICE goes masked for a single reason -- to terrorize Americans into quiescence. Small wonder ICE often seems to need our respected military to guard them as they go about implementing our immigration laws. It should be noted that our troops do not ordinarily wear masks. Can you imagine a masked marine? It is a matter of honor -- and honor still matters. To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police. Carrying on in this fashion, ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it. “We can not escape history,” Lincoln rightly said. “[It] will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:353gzbhcjbznfxegvayffqek/bafkreia5wf5rzcvhhglwhbtnvcwom6sa6d4fli6qfbig6qdoe7myb62dt4@jpeg)

500 mil. The over under will be 500 mil, and it's still gonna be the over, easy.
If Mamdani *were* to pull this out, what’s the over-under line for how much outside SuperPac money comes in to the general to try to stop him? $100 mil? $200?

500 mil. The over under will be 500 mil, and it's still gonna be the over, easy.
Yup.
PCCC stmt: "The old guard establishment of the Democratic Party, fueled by billionaires, did everything they could to defeat Mamdani—and they failed. They continue being wrong about everything, and they need to get out of the way and let a new generation lead."

Yup.
Pretty sure they're gonna kill us all, way before this will be a problem.
