The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

These voters have a well-informed and extremely coherent message for Dem leaders, if they’re just willing to hear it

Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon, dies aged 84 A fixture in Democratic politics who ran for 1988 presidential nomination, Jackson was once close to Martin Luther King Jr The Rev Jesse Jackson, the civil rights campaigner who was prominent for more than 50 years and who ran strongly for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988, has died. He was 84. “Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” the Jackson family said in a statement. “We shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family.

AI data centers are throwing the fossil fuel industry a lifeline.

"But AI will solve climate change, right?" Wrong.

@stand.earth's new report authored by independent researcher @ketanjoshi.co clearly lays out Big Tech's AI climate hoax. See for yourself here: stand.earth/resources/ai...

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

It’s ridiculous that Democrats are actually demanding something the constitution already very clearly requires. But it is leading to some amusing takes like this one.

This sounds exactly like lawmakers saying they’re not banning abortion, they’re just requiring a 48-hour waiting period and two trips to the clinic

Two decades after a small Duke breast cancer vaccine trial, every participant is still alive — a rare outcome for metastatic disease. When researchers looked closer, they found the women’s immune systems still carried “memory” cells that recognised the cancer. buff.ly/MNeRhJh

Amazon’s Canton AI Data Center Brings Dust, Noise and Pollution Fears for Neighbors Canton residents say that a new Amazon data center is bringing unwanted dust and noise, raising concerns about pollution and falling property values.

A new Amazon data center in Canton, Mississippi, is part of the AI-fueled boom in tech infrastructure that promises to bring more jobs to the state.

But for residents in a neighborhood near the facility, it’s bringing unwanted dust, noise and concerns about their health and their property values.

As an air pollution guy this is straight up false. EPA called them "stationary sources" and you cannot operate one without a permit. It couldn't be more simple

Rojava’s grassroots experiment in revolutionary autonomy is facing an existential threat from a new Damascus offensive, and organizers warn that even with a ceasefire, the real danger is that global solidarity will fade.

I think it was @jessicavalenti.bsky.social who said that the internet is a machine that runs on women's suffering

Word choices matter. Like saying “scientists and philosophers have come to understand” is very different from “scientists and philosophers are claiming“

One primes your audience to respect authority and the other primes your audience to question

🧵 In response to my posts on X today, DOJ 1) unredacted an FBI file that LABELS two individuals as co-conspirators 2) unredacted a file that lists several men who might be implicated 3) tacitly admitted that Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was the sender of the torture video

Thomas Massie is cooking right now and explicitly states that UAE Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was sending torture videos to Epstein

Experts say very preliminary research suggests keto might be helpful. But there is "no credible evidence" of a cure.
