The 60 largest planned data centers could produce the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions as 27 coal plants. Big Tech CEOs are polluting our planet and selling out our future to line their own pockets. We need a data center moratorium — now.

At least 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to the White House. At least 23 people have been shot at by federal immigration agents. And thousands more have been caged, separated from their families, or shipped off to dangerous countries. The cruelty is endless.

Let me get this straight... Trump is blocking $1B in Medicaid payments to blue states over spurious accusations of mass fraud. Meanwhile, he's literally pardoned over 70 convicted fraudsters — including a nursing home owner who stole over $1.3B from Medicare and Medicaid. Hello?

Between October 7, 2023 and now, Israeli forces killed more than 240 children, with 54 killed in 2025 alone. “The unprecedented scale of killing of Palestinian children and teenagers by Israeli forces is the result of a reckless open-fire policy that is currently being implemented in the West Bank.”

SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. A Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places it at odds with democracy itself. This is Chief Justice John Roberts’ legacy.

Three months ago today, a war began that no one voted for — and the cost has been paid by people who had no say in it. 

Thousands of civilians have lost their lives. Thirteen U.S. servicemembers will never come home to their families.

Americans across this country and our city have watched prices rise at the pump and the grocery store, their budgets strained by a conflict launched without a single vote of Congress. 

Every life lost abroad and every dollar squeezed from a working family here is part of the same reckless bill, handed to the people who could least afford it by those who will never pay it themselves. 

I opposed this war from the first day. I oppose it still. It must end.
