AI data centers are sucking up communities’ power & water.

AI is being used by corporations to shaft consumers and is threatening young workers’ job prospects.

So Trump wants to ram through a ban on state AI regulation — all to help out his Big Tech billionaire friends.

See how this works?

"As well as the collection of social media information, the new document proposes the gathering of an applicant's telephone numbers and email addresses used over the last five and 10 years respectively, and more information about their family members."

US could ask tourists for five-year social media history before entry The plan would affect people from countries, including the UK, who can fill out a form in lieu of a visa.

“Tourists from dozens of countries including the UK could be asked to provide a five-year social media history as a condition of entry to the United States, under a new proposal unveiled by American officials.“ 12/10/25 www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Trump administration is getting desperate enough to try criminalizing loud noise. A federal judge in Oregon has issued an order blocking the administration from enforcing a new rule that would make “loud or unusual noise” near federal buildings a criminal offense.

Wow. Trump personally intervened to block more than 4,100 Jan. 6 documents records that injured police officers had subpoenaed as part of their lawsuit after being violently attacked by MAGA rioters. The Department of Justice confirmed in a new court filing that Trump invoked

A federal judge struck down Trump’s halt on approvals of all wind power projects on federal lands and waters.

Everyone I know who’s had shingles says it’s horrible so I would have gladly taken a day or two of feeling unwell over several weeks of having shingles!

Jay Bhattacharya has exhibited the same attitude toward science that he does in these posts. His ideas did not pass muster. Then he discovered groups who’d amplify his nonsense, put him on panels, invite him to parties, reward him, and so Jay doubled down on what got him attention.

All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

The EU needs to open an Epstein commission to route out malignant influence networks and tackle the European end of the criminal network.

Reddit post from Inside-Specialist-55 in r/povertyfinance: "I have always went here when things were bad. This year our family could not afford anything nice for christmas dinner so we turned to a local church food bank. I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year. We have only been to this one 4 times since 2017 but this year the line wraps around the building a second time to the left behind those rows of cars. Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold and shivering. If this is a sign that America isnt doing well IDK what is. I am in a small town in Kentucky with a population of less than 4,800 people. Literally 10% or more of the county residents are here. This is insane."

Community members in Kenner, Louisiana, activate rapid-response teams to follow Greg Bovino and his Border Patrol goons through the neighborhood. They alert residents and warn them not to open their doors unless CBP has a court-ordered warrant.

The #Marburg outbreak in Ethiopia isn't over. Another case has been detected & the person is in treatment. This brings the confirmed cases to 13, of which 8 have been fatal.

Dit onderzoek toont aan dat overdracht via geitenmelk heel goed kan. De kittens kwamen van een geitenmelk bedrijf.

"Waarschijnlijk dood vogeltje" is niet genoeg. Er had onderzoek naar antistoffen bij geiten kunnen plaatsvinden om uit te sluiten dat het in de melk zat.

Onnozel gemak, halve waarheden, een groot verhaal in de media. Dat was bij covid al geen succes.

NHS England: “It will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus, and it would be a waste of public health resources and capacity to attempt to do so.”

This has got to be one of the most 🤯 things I’ve ever seen written down in an official document.

Ever wonder how a scientist studying the surface of the ocean ends up studying airborne disease transmission? Because the surface of the ocean and surface of your lungs are so similar!! Read about here in our new paper.

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.

revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

Each year in the United States, roughly 2,500–2,600 children and teenagers under 18 are killed by firearms, and more than 11,000 are treated in emergency departments for nonfatal gun-related injuries.

This averages to about 35 children and teens shot every day, including those killed and wounded.

Line chart showing U.S. age-adjusted stimulant overdose death rates (2003–2023): cocaine (blue) rising since 2013, psychostimulants (green) surging sharply after 2017.
