Wisconsin is bordered by Superior to the North, and Michigan to the East.
The local news stations are reporting on how "many data centers" are planned for Wisconsin.
An absolutely HORRIFYING thought struck me:
They're gonna suck the lakes dry/pollute completely if not stopped.

So much hate going around, directed at literally every corner of society to which white Christian conservatives can point their hateful, violent fingers.

In the new clip, they altered her SNL line “I think I might have to arrest someone for being too hot,” swapping “too hot” with “illegal.” Most people aren’t on X anymore, but if you are, please report the new video to help get it taken down like the last one. (Posted on the White House X account

COTTON: I haven't spoken to POTUS about that pardon. I have to know more about the circumstances
