it’s actually wild that we have a candidate running for city council in minneapolis who openly says she wants a data center in ward 10
Going insane reading this Politico story about Musk's AI servers poisoning the air of a 90% Black community in Memphis followed immediately by this Washington Post story about states lining up their own communities to host the next ones

Preemptive congrats to all those with exciting fulfilling lives who will stay indoors today while quoting posts from a political convention, adding captions like, "I can't believe they're spending a beautiful summer day inside a school auditorium."

A real "wait are we the baddies?" moment
I thought the real stunning part of that was not the proudness of the answer, but the dozens of supporters cheering for it. Makes you wonder about where a candidate stands when their supporters are cheering against Labor at a DFL event...

Forced Labor Continues in Colorado, Years After Vote to End Prison Slavery
Coloradans voted in 2018 to amend their state constitution to ban forced labor in prison. Years later, incarcerated people are still being punished for refusing work assignments.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

We are speedrunning the Declaration of Independence, folks.

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qvyj3hxm4opuuddzrhcbiio6/bafkreiahlp7acp6y2hakkfu5h66vg2ifckdo6b7fqaebenki3qoxswp73e@jpeg)

I’m excited to be endorsed by @twincitiesdsa.bsky.social. Our opponents say our vision for Minneapolis is extreme, but fighting for a city that works for everyone is not extreme. My goal is to implement people-focused, transformative solutions — that’s what Minneapolis residents deserve.

I need to put this out there. There is no monomyth. The "hero's journey" is not a universal thing, and never was. Its creation relied on cherry picked stories and ignoring everything in them and any context about them or the cultures they were from to work. It was literature level colonialism. 1/4
