Is generative AI so superintelligent that it is about to rise up and kill the entire human species? It has to learn the alphabet first.

America is over God, not under God. We sure as heck aren’t going to be indivisible as long as Christian Nationalists keep on trying to shove their Jesus down our throats.

America is over God, not under God. The Statue of Liberty walks off with Uncle Sam while angry Jesus sulks in the corner.

Imagine the people behind the Salem Witch Trials had nuclear weapons. That is the level of dangerous religious insanity that now controls the US military. The new acting Secretary of the Navy, Hung Cao, says that witches are a darkness growing across America. Christian Nationalism kills.

The US military has been infiltrated by high-ranking officers who believe that their mission is to start the Battle of Armageddon so that Jesus can return to Earth to become king over us all. That’s insanity. Until this dark magic can be cleared out, DEFUND THE MILITARY. The US military is broken.

Any government agency that drops bombs on elementary school should have its budget ELIMINATED. Defund the military.

Ithaca and Binghamton, can we primary Josh Riley? Josh Riley took $75,000 from Palantir, a right wing AI surveillance corporation that helps ICE agents hunt down immigrant children to throw them into prison camps. We need Democrats who don’t help ICE. #ICE #Palantir #Ithaca #JoshRiley

Congressman Josh Riley of Ithaca just voted with MAGA Republicans AGAINST the impeachment of Donald Trump. Why does Josh Riley keep protecting Donald Trump instead of protecting the people from Donald Trump? #JoshRiley #Ithaca #TompkinsCountyDemocrats #NY19

What’s more, Terawulf plans to have the UAE spy firm G42 as one of its major clients at the proposed Cayuga Lake data center. It’s more than obnoxious. Terawulf is compromising American national security.

Terawulf’s role in an authoritarian international network of digital authoritarianism hacking and espionage centered in the UAE with G42 run by Peng Xiao and Tahnoon bin Zayed Al-Nahyan

While Fascism is taking over the USA, Congressman Josh Riley of Ithaca, Binghamton, and Cortland is taking photo ops at reservoirs. These are not normal times. We need a fighter to represent us, not a paper pusher. Will Josh Riley ever fight back?

Why did Congressman Josh Riley of Ithaca refuse to attend any No Kings rally yesterday? Is Josh Riley okay with what Donald Trump is doing to America? #JoshRiley #NoKings #Ithaca

Tonight at 6:30, a meeting of the Town Board of Lansing will consider a 1 year temporary moratorium on land development reviews. This would delay the proposed Terawulf data center, which would create a big hike in our NYSEG bills. #CayugaLake #Terawulf #Ithaca meetings.municode.com/adaHtmlDocum...

Ithaca environmentalists take note: The old coal-fired power plant on Cayuga Lake has been taken over by TeraWulf, with deceptive “predominantly zero carbon” language in its lease. In fact, the lease allows for up to 82.74% of the energy to come from burning fossil fuels. This is for generative AI.

The TeraWulf lease allows the company to burn fossil fuels to create 82.74 percent of its energy for its generative AI center on Cayuga Lake. It is not predominantly zero carbon. It is predominantly dirty fossil fuels spewing carbon dioxide pollution. TeraWulf counts on the people of Ithaca not being able to do simple math.

We are going to keep asking Josh Riley to tell the truth and come clean about this. He can’t ignore it, and hope the issue just goes away.

Josh Riley accepted lobbyists’ dirty money to pay for his vacation in Israel to meet the Israeli President at the same time that the Israeli government was assassinating journalists and starving children in Gaza. Josh Riley tried to keep this trip secret, so Ithaca wouldn’t know. #Ithaca

Democrats in Binghamton and Ithaca are asking: Why did Josh Riley walk away from other Democrats in Congress to help Donald Trump deregulate cryptocurrency... …when the number one use case of crypto is to bribe Donald Trump? Josh Riley has abandoned working people to do favors for cryptobros.

Ithaca New York tells Donald Trump to keep his hands off habeas corpus. If habeas corpus rights are suspended, anybody can be thrown in prison without trial and without explanation. There is no rebellion. There is no invasion. It’s insane to even suggest suspending habeas corpus.

At 12 Noon today, Ithaca will 🔥protest against the growing #fascism of Donald Trump. Now yes, it’s going to rain a bit. ☔ When Nazi power was growing in Germany in the 1930s, would you expect the resistance to have been hampered by a little rain? Let’s get out there and demonstrate our dedication!

Why are residents of Ithaca, New York coming out into the streets to protest many times each week? This sign from yesterday’s anti-Trump demonstration explained it plainly: Fight Fascism.

I’ll be hammering this: Next week the Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025, H.R. 1664, comes up for a vote in the US House. This is one of the most corrupt pieces of legislation I can remember.

America is not okay. We protest to break the illusion of normality, to violate the silent acceptance of totalitarianism. This afternoon, on route 13 in Ithaca at 4:30, we stand in protest against the dictatorship of Donald Trump. #protest #ithaca audacityspace.org/fine-is-the-...

Everything is just fine American patriotic skeletons of denial.

The Trump DOJ makes it sound like ICE agents had to courageously endure violent dangers when they grabbed a man in Ithaca. “Federal agents risked their safety and pursued the defendant in unsafe conditions" What actually happened: They walked into a building. They grabbed the guy. That’s it. #ithaca

Ithaca is being raided by ICE agents for a second day in a row. What is Congressman Josh Riley doing to protect us from this? Nothing. Instead, Josh Riley is sending out fundraising messages After he voted for fascist anti-immigrant legislation? No, Josh. No. #Chutzpah #JoshRiley #Ithaca #ICE

I donated $, volunteered all summer & autumn. I voted. I did this w/ the assurance that Josh Riley would and stand up to Donald Trump. This week, Congressman Josh Riley voted for extremist #MAGA legislation HR 23 and HR 29. Is Josh Riley now MAGA? #JoshRiley #Ithaca

Is Democratic Congressman Josh Riley turning into a fascist MAGA supporter?
