Cruelty is the point. Craven people.

Data centers can consume up to five million gallons of water per day; the equivalent of a town of 10K-50K people.

Data centers also use large quantities of PFAS-gas or f-gas chemicals.

It’s estimated that U.S. data centers produced 105 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions in the past yr.

ICE Plans Cash Rewards for Private Bounty Hunters to Locate and Track Immigrants Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate — and paid cash bonuses for performance.

“Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.”

Or ICE could just fund the Klan directly.

The Trump Administration is basically claiming the right to kill anyone anywhere for any reason or for no reason, with no evidence provided or accountability to Congress or the American people.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володи... « - 6h... Our Foreign Intelligence has located specific addresses of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. We are providing our partners with lists of children who must be returned. This is a sensitive issue, with a great deal of quiet diplomatic work underway. To foil any Russian attempt to claim they supposedly know nothing about these children, we are ensuring that addresses are included as well. The first such list - containing over 300 surnames, first names, and addresses of abducted children - will be on the desks of all the leaders assisting in this effort.

Watch who will be the ally returning the children…

This is fucking amazing

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

More tax breaks for billion-dollar companies while zero guardrails to protect the local environment. This really sucks.

(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.
