Yep. Politicians who mindlessly promote data centers are buying into a political liability. Data centers are even worse than the old 'subsidize my factory' scam, creating fewer jobs and draining local water & energy supplies, problems that will get increasingly worse under Trump's bad policies.
my latest: i spent weeks investigating how frustrations about data centers were about to swallow american politics…
…and then the 2025 election happened, proving the electoral impacts are already here.

Judge Sara Ellis is setting a precedent alright.
The precedent of evidence-based jurisprudence the likes of which has rarely been seen in federal court.

As for the testimony of Border Patrol Chief Patrol Greg Bovino:
Ellis: "Defendant Bovino admitted that he lied about whether a rock hit him before he deployed tear gas in Little Village."
When Bovino threw a second tear gas canister at the crowd, the crowd was running away.

How much oil money is funding far-right movements right now 😬
This isn't me arguing that we can't transition off of fossil fuels. This is me saying we should expect oil and gas companies to be hostile to the necessary transition and treat them accordingly and not like they're "going to see the light" because they aren't.

remember all those 'project 2025 isn't actually real, you fools, you naifs' media pieces.
Amazing how much 2025 was a hyper correction for the fact that in 2024 voters clearly didn't know what they were voting for because the media didn't report on Trump's actual policies/voters refused to believe what they were voting for.
Between 2020 and 2024, no New Jersey county moved further right than Passaic County (11pts). At 43% it's also the most the most-Latino county in the state, and is among the least-white overall.
Last night, it moved 18pts to the left, surpassed only by Hudson County (the second-most Latino county)

So glad we finally have more reporting on this. The findings are even worse than I thought. Ride share drivers are relentlessly being targeted at O’hare, cars left stranded, ticketed, & towed, drivers jumping fences onto roads trying to escape. Security guards hired by the city watch as raids ensue.

Big tech continues to demonstrate its’ alignment with fascists. BAN FACIAL RECOGNITION
We've found DHS is giving local cops a new facial recognition app to find immigrants. Point camera at face, tells the cop to detain person or not. The app is available on Google's Play Store. Google took down apps that report ICE sightings but now hosts this app
