A massive diesel spill at a New Jersey data center has dumped roughly 5,000 gallons of fuel into wetlands connected to the Meadowlands. Local officials say a “computer glitch” caused the backup generator system to keep calling for fuel. The diesel entered Anderson Creek,

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.

Just here to say that the vile things you said about Angie Nixon have enabled the vitriol being hurled at her from Laura Loomer. Still no apologies from you. I unsubscribed from your substack yesterday. It costs nothing to be a decent person, after everything we did to stand up for your family.

I have wondered where all of the politicians’ upper lips go, and after seeing your mealy mouthed response about the $200K in AIPAC money you’ve accepted, I believe my hypothesis is correct: you all lose your upper lips from constantly choking on and swallowing your own lies and misrepresentations.

You’re not a victim. Zionism is abhorrent. The Israeli government is a terrorist state. Those two things invite fury from around the world, and it has nothing to do with Judaism. It’s embarrassing to watch you all do this to yourselves, but you’re bought and paid for, so you can’t change your mind.

Two posts: it’s really hard for people to look at any insanely rich person and understand that they might be dumb or malicious. Because we have a national myth that smarts and hard work lead to success, but conversely if you have success you must be smart and have worked hard

ICE’s Camp East Montana is a hellhole. It’s been open less than a year and three people have died there, including the first-ever homicide in ICE detention (allegedly at the hands of guards). Both DHS and Congressional watchdogs have documented extensive problems. Shut it down!
The 84-page report issued jointly Wednesday by Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union also says men and women held at Camp East Montana, located at the U.S. Army's Fort Bliss in El Paso, recounted being denied necessary medical care, forced to live in filthy conditions and fed inedible meals. Detainees also said they were prevented from contacting their lawyers or family members.
Of the 71 detainees contacted over a five month period, 64 - about 90% of those interviewed - said they had either personally been assaulted by the staff or had seen others physically abused, according to the report.
