Excited by Democrats? If only they ever pushed back like a real alternative. Better doesn’t mean good.

Slightly higher taxes? They should be taxed out of existence. Barring that, start at the same rate that the working masses pay.

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."

We are discovering all kinds of spectacular and frightening new ways to die — and whether we believe in climate change or not, are Westerners or not, etc. Even more concerning: it’s going to get worse. Boggles the imagination.
