Why Are Plans for This Alabama Data Center So Hush-Hush? Officials in Bessemer, Alabama, are mum on Project Marvel, a proposed data center the size of 18 Walmart Supercenters.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

Have you met my good buddy, Tenzy? (aka Wombat) He's in the sick ward with some skin stuff and an infection, but that did not at all stop his tail wagging or veritable zoomies in the yard this evening. He is the goodest, gentlest boy.

you'd think a party with so many lawyers would understand speaking to a jury and getting a visceral reaction but i think too many dem lawyers are corporate types or stuck in academic circles

One of their defining qualities is that they think if they cozy up to the truly violent and venal members of the tribe, they'll be spared. They won't. It'll come for all of them, after it's come for the rest of us.

Media training has gone too far for some of these candidates for office—we can tell when candidates are speaking to donors and not to voters. No more memorized talking points that actually say nothing! We want proof that our leaders can recognize a genocide when they see one.

San Antonio knows that Ted Cruz has shut down the government so he can cut health care on behalf of the billionaires.

So we showed up to his office. Nobody there. But we aren’t giving up until we get our healthcare and our democracy back.

Republicans shut down the government—and real people are paying the price.

Join me Wednesday for a tele-town hall. We’ll talk about what this shutdown means for Texas families, and how you can get the information and resources you need.

CDC Immunization Schedule Adopts Individual-Based Decision-Making for COVID-19 and Standalone Vaccination for Chickenpox in Toddlers ATLANTA—October 6, 2025— The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today updated its adult and child immunization schedules to apply individual-based decision-making to COVID-19 vaccination and recommend that toddlers receive protection from varicella (chickenpox) as a standalone immunization rather than in combination with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination.The immunization schedules adopt recent recommendations by the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which were approved last week by Acting Director of the CDC and Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Jim O’Neill. The schedules will be updated on CDC.gov by October 7, 2025.

The acting CDC director has finally signed off on the vaccine advisory panel's recommendations for the COVID vaccines.

While the CDC is trying to sell this as a win for antivaxxers, in reality this means that COVID vaccines will be more accessible than they have been in recent weeks.

2024 was a record-setting year for lifesaving vaccines Vaccines delivered by Gavi saved the lives of 1.7 million people in poor countries

Remembering when Chris Rufo insisted that Disney was a thoroughly corrupt institution because it had a small number of employees arrested on CSAM and sex trafficking charges and I replied, well, let's use that standard for Republicans, and he blocked me before I could finish the thread.
