Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans.
Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.
Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.
Exclusive: Amazon has long been USPS’s top customer, providing over $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025.
But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.

I don't care if you think that AI can do some really nifty things. It's being rammed down our throats by obscenely wealthy men who are also, obviously, both dangerously right-wing and mentally unstable, and no rational society should be allowing that to happen. End of discussion.

Today, the occupation targeted several areas across Gaza, including the Al Tuffah neighborhood. This is a developing story, and the numbers of those killed and injured are expected to be updated shortly. Since the so-called ceasefire began on October 10, at least 360 Palestinians have been killed.

The IOF is accusing Gaza of a “ceasefire violation” because two children, who they call “suspects”, brothers Fadi and Jumaa, crossed an invisible, unmarked line while searching for firewood.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Republicans speak with a mouthful of scripture but carry a heart full of hate.
They shut down the govt, cut food assistance, & jack up healthcare costs—all while pushing harmful stereotypes of struggle.
Poverty isn't a moral failing & struggle doesn't discriminate — it finds all of us.
