A year ago, just 42% of Americans opposed a data center being built in their community. Today, a staggering 75% do. Are data centers really that bad? Let’s take a look.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Today I was in a room full of Jews and Muslims when I found out that a gunman had shot up a Jewish event.
We all shared the pain together. A Palestinian man from Gaza who happened to have moved here 2 weeks before October 7 expressed his pain at our tragedy. Many of his family members are dead, and many others are in tents now. And still, he stood with us.
These moments will be used to divide us. Thats the whole reason they are committed. To tear us all into different factions so one can win and one can lose.
Buying into that worldview hands the shooters and bigots a win by creating the world they want. The only actual way to defeat them is to stand firm in building a world of dignity for all.
This is what the Palestinian in the room did for us. It is what the Muslim man who risked his life to save Jews did. This is the way to win. This is how we beat those who want a world of division and violence.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels. Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on. And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking. Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy. It's a power grab.
