I’m running out of words. Don’t look away, or we will lose generations more to powerful perverts and their protectors. Not to mention the systemic threats and retaliation against those who speak up and challenge the system.

This is our moonshot moment. We cannot let it pass.

Data centers are scrambling to power the AI boom with natural gas As tech giants find creative ways to generate electricity, they’re building a glut of new fossil fuel projects.

We were making such forward progress on more environmentally-friendly energy and now we have data centers dragging us backward into the fossil fuel era.

Not just: also titans of industry, professor, scientists, entertainers, journalists media execs.

All covering for and funding each other.

Any of us have seen or experienced pieces of this and punished for trying to ring the bell.

Hey, it’s me. I love it when the revenue team surprises me like this. ❀️

And yes, you can trust our reporting. Plus we admit it publicly when we (rarely) make an error. We train the team to build trust by owning work.

We’ve done this for 24 years in Mississippi: We take the time to get it right.

This is true.

And all the more striking because we *barely* integrated. Most organizations remain highly segregated but even minor integration was too much for some folks.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Columbus introduced sugar cane to the Caribbean and his son opened the first plantation. They were the originators of this brutality.

So many Caribbean people died on these plantations that they eventually had to start bringing in slaves from Africa.

Average lifespan once there was only 7 years.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧡
