This map represents land mass, not population density. The latter would be a very different image. Still damning that so many voted for this regime, but the amount of blue and red would be more balanced in terms of the population that did vote

Daycares don’t just let anybody in. Why would they allow ICE to enter in the first place? The facility admin/owner have some explaining to do

I work in tech. Can confirm that AI mostly overpromises and under delivers. But also, this binary completely eschews ethical concerns that may shape one’s attitude towards AI, and that’s really the conversation we need to have as a society

This should be a no-brainer, but it seems there’s not much any level of government loves more than shifting wealth to the already wealthy. You’re part of the change we need!

This is real crappy, but smoking and open containers has been illegal on federal property, just not enforced. The administration has decided to start enforcing as a show of strength over DC. It’s complete garbage, and absolutely an effort to terrorize people

Please test for strep as well! I thought my sore throat last month was covid, but it was strep, which can be treated with antibiotics

Please make regulating data centers a priority. That alone will help curb energy costs and keep our water clean and communities livable

Unfortunately we are at a point where the importance of the public square and civic involvement has been de-emphasized. Not saying I disagree with you, but the reality is if we want more people to vote regularly in an off-year primary we need to change the culture

I’m not really sure that’s the case. There hasn’t been a great information campaign for the primary races, and with a pool that seemed to include several acceptable or better candidates for non-governor positions, the urgency to vote just didn’t materialize

It was too expensive when government funded labs attempted space censors - at least two programs were defunded in the last 20 years (PTSS and STSS), but when corporate cronies get kickbacks it’s all good. What a joke

Thank you! We need our state reps to stand up to data center creep, not aid and abet it like certain county supervisors

Thank you for continuing to bring attention to this issue. The environmental and human costs of data center proliferation cannot be ignored, and working to put limits on the sprawl is a winning bipartisan cause!

Yeah … the startup costs for all of these things make them unattainable for many, unfortunately. Not to mention recurring raw material expense. Most sweaters I knit are north of $100 in materials alone. I love my garden and fiber crafts, but they are something I am able to do out of privilege
