190 000 documented war crimes in less than 4 years. About ±150 a day. And that is only the tip of the iceberg. Next time you even think about "it is war, it happens" or "it is not so black and white" - remember this number. It is pretty clear cut.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.
The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.
The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.
Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.
And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.
When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

There is a tree in Nashville that I'm pretty sure was pulled up into a tornado when it was a sapling, but it had strong roots and it survived. I visit it every time I'm at Centennial Park. When I first moved here, it was barely taller than me, and now it's an adult!
