It's Artificial Intelligence. It's Twitter. It's the Gulf of Mexico. It's Lake Ontario. It's the Department of Defense. It's the Kennedy Center.

It’s so hard not to give up. Enough already. How many laws need to be broken before things change?

My family turned down millions when Tenaska drove out to the farm to option up land for data centers, but our neighbors didn’t turn them down. We are the 4th generation on this land & can lose everything if data centers are allowed to build on the fertile farmland across the road from us. Help.

I’ve been fighting data centers being built in Cass county NE. Please join us at any future commissioner’s meetings.

Our so-called "leaders" need to push back against data centers and Al companies. Congress shouldn't go home until we get an Al safety bill.

When I was 29-yrs-old I had to have an emergency “Abortion” - the baby was already gone, but my life was at risk too. I’m so proud of what a difference you make. Now, as a recently “retired” 57-yr-old HS teacher in Nebraska, I rely on the ACA. Thank you for fighting the causes that matter to me.

When U.S. airspace was closed on 9/11, Canada took in hundreds of diverted flights and thousands of stranded passengers under Operation Yellow Ribbon, and later by sending troops to our war in Afghanistan. We have the best neighbors any country can have. Trump is a total idiot for what he’s doing. 🔄

A data center is being proposed across the road from my family farm in Nebraska. I own an organic garden & green house just half a mile from where it would be built. A meeting to decide on a moratorium is Tues morning. I’m getting ready to be there & have my voice heard.

I’m on a small-ship Alaska cruise with my son; our boat rescued a stranded vessel last night and apparently we did that after the Coast Guard radioed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht - which was closer - and they repeatedly refused to respond. (There was near unanimous booing when the captain announced this)

We denounce it out when it happens in churches; and yes, it is the ultimate hypocrisy there, but let’s be honest…it still happens everywhere. It’s a much bigger societal issue than people understand.

The JCPOA, which Trump called "the worst deal ever," ONLY lifted nuclear-related sanctions on Iran. Sanctions for human rights violations, terrorism, and its missile program ALL remained. Trump is promising to end ALL SANCTIONS, even those imposed by international bodies. Victory for Iran.
The United States of America undertakes to terminate all types of sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the United Nations Security Council resolutions.

IAEA Board of Governors resolutions, all unilateral US sanctions, primary and secondary in an agreed upon schedule as part of the final deal. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America acknowledge the critical importance of the sanctions termination issue above mentioned, and expressed their intentions to immediately address these issues in the negotiations in order to achieve mutual agreement on them.

For anyone who thinks the mid terms are going to be a blue landslide, let this be a warning shot. They are going to spend unheard of amounts of money and do anything nefarious that is possible to stay in power.

REED: How many taxpayers' returns were leaked by the IRS in the 2020 breach? BLANCHE: Excuse me? REED: 405,427. One of them was Donald Trump, correct? BLANCHE: Donald Trump and his family. REED: And Donald Trump was president at the time. So it was his IRS that allowed this breach of privacy

Just got through the last 2 weeks of an open greenhouse & having 20 vendors out to the farm. Now time to focus on farmer’s markets. I haven’t been so focused on politics & I guess that’s good.

Every time he speaks it’s like he’s auditioning to be the voice over of an action movie trailer; however, he’s even too dramatic to be hired for that.
