Proud to say that @workingfamilies.org is all-in on running against data centers, AI, and the billionaires profiting from them

On one hand, I'm the person who just waits for Olympics to be over so media is not swamped with fawning coverage. On the other hand, it's kind of like a vacation from brutal reality

February 16, 2026 On February 13 and 14, President Donald J.

For Presidents day @heathercoxrichardson.skystack.xyz contrasts T and George Washington. Airport naming is not only for vanity, but also #grift: he trademarked it so that our taxes will further enrich his estate.

Omg it is not a mystery what is behind the rise in mental illness in young people. I swear to god if I see another Is it social media? Is it covid? Climate change? I mean sure, but babe, it’s late-stage capitalism

I am once again reminding you not to give any money to the New York Times.

I just realized this is Kellen Browning, the same journalist who wrote that shit parachute journalism story about Portland a few months back 😂

I think we have to assume at this point that it’s not incompetence, it’s the plan

It's galling to contemplate but I really think you have to admit that Musk buying X was an unqualified victory. It can't be exaggerated just how much prominent journalists, pundits, business type, etc. mistake the vibe on X for "how the country is feeling."

Let's check in with @chenoweth.bsky.social and the Crowd Counting Consortium to see what kinds of evidence-based numbers there are for protests so far under this MAGA regime (yay science! 🧪)

Just caught the Valentine’s Day showing of Harold & Maude at the Hollywood. Like Cat Stevens’ music, it has aged beautifully. Such a charming and touching movie

Finally some consequences

that onion headline “area man finally finds perfect use for that 5 inch piece of wood” is a staple in our household

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

In its ongoing war against higher ed—and law firms—the battles MAGA has won are those where the other side surrendered in advance. (The Columbia/UT Austin/Paul Weiss "strategy," vs the Harvard/UCLA/Perkins Coie/etc strategy.)

Resistance is not just braver but also smarter and more effective.

oh hey portland, this is apparently a possible thing to do

"some" is doing a lot of work here

We will never advance morally nor will Dems gain durable power electorally unless we actually MAKE THE ARGUMENT. And it's not hard: immigrants are great. Continuing to shit on or apologize for or insist only on mitigating evil against immigrants means we will never actually win.

Genius

We have the power to influence local officials to deny permits, and there are other ways to stop these concentration camps. 🔥

support independent journalists... and especially support @amywestervelt.bsky.social even if she's just teasing us about her t-shirt

No crypto in Canton: Town blocks data centers and crypto mining operations Canton’s makeshift town hall in a tiny trailer was bursting at the seams Wednesday night with citizens united against data centers and cryptocurrency mining.

For my money, the way thousands of regular people are self-organizing to resist data centers is one of the most cautiously hopeful stories going right now.

It’s mind boggling to contemplate Musk and Trump killing millions of children. Killings that we could have prevented.
