A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job. One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution. Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job
No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.

it is very funny how these people are so accustomed to essentially bullying democratic politicians that they meltdown when met with appropriate pushback. in any case, the process to amend the virginia constitution has multiple stages where, at any point, an amendment can be defeated.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

Minneapolis is a fucking war zone for one reason only — America's pedophile führer. With gaslighting help from Stephen Miller, Elon Musk and other far-right fascists, Trump has turned Minnesota into a Nazi hellscape — a veritable 21st century version of Hitler's Kristallnacht. 👇

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

For vets of the immigration wars we remember that in early days the restrictionist movement was for mass deportation. But it created a huge backlash w/Latinos that hurt the GOP, polled terribly with the public. So they softened to "self-deportation" for they knew US wouldn't accept the violence. 1/
