Yes! Media treats these failures as inevitable consequences of great power when they are crimes. Maddening.

Thanks to #GeorgeStroumboulopoulos for dropping by the @carleton.ca Journalism studio to tape an episode of my @ricochetmedia.bsky.social “In Bed with the Elephant.” We will post it in the coming weeks. A big thanks to George also for the encouraging words he gave to our J-School students.

Seattle just became the first city in America to ban grocery stores from engaging in surveillance pricing. This is a huge win for consumers against companies that abuse their personal data to rip them off. Watch former FTC Chair Lina Khan explain.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report
A first-of-its-kind report details the footprint of the controversial facilities.

War crimes or crimes against humanity. Because let’s face it: the dominant agents of climate murder have names and addresses. We know who they are! They’re billionaires and oil CEOs — and their minions. They deserve inmate numbers and prison cells.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

Tropical Storm Dolly has formed in the Atlantic. The National Hurricane Center notes this was not done to honor Dolly Parton: "The timing of the use of the name Dolly for this storm is purely coincidental...The name Dolly replaced Diana after the 1990 hurricane season."

Progressive candidates aren’t just coming from out of nowhere. They’re organizing and building power by connecting with their communities. This is a good thing. And the Democratic establishment should take notes.

It's now been confirmed that this summer will be the hottest on record. For those opposing bold action on the climate crisis - you're not just putting lives and the planet at risk today, but dooming future generations.

This burning summer is the proof: the voices of climate denial aren’t just delusional, they’re deadly | Sadiq Khan
Look at our blazing forests and parched cities. Green policies aren’t a ‘luxury’, and we can’t burn more oil and gas. People need the truth, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
