These data centers are notoriously energy and water intensive using millions of gallons of water daily and consuming electricity at rates that rival entire cities. And under this new policy, they can now be built without the oversight meant to protect air quality, local ecosystems and public health.

People are being rounded up and crammed into a hastily constructed camp of plastic tents and cages. They are being forced to endure unlivable conditions, all because they weren’t born in this country. Most have no criminal records. All of them deserve a right to a hearing and to due process of law.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Six infants in Ontario have been born with congenital measles since last fall. They were infected in the womb through mothers who were not vaccinated. This is heartbreaking, preventable and a result of the spread of anti-vax disinformation.

Israel has arrested and abducted 12 peaceful humanitarians trying to bring food to people starving in Gaza. Arrested for compassion while war crimes and genocide unfold. This isn’t just injustice, it’s a test of our humanity.

Trump seems bent on eroding one of the country’s greatest achievements, a national park system open to all. As Wallace Stegner put it, the national parks are “absolutely American” and “the best idea we ever had.“ Will millions of Americans who cherish their parks allow Mr. Trump to destroy them?

The spike came as Trump and Elon ramped up attacks on judges who ruled against him, sometimes even calling for their impeachment. Judges are now sounding the alarm, warning of potential violence and urging political leaders to dial down the rhetoric.

Threats against federal judges have surged since Trump took office. Internal U.S. Marshals data shows 80 judges were threatened in the five months before March 1, but in just the next six weeks, that number jumped by 162 more.
