I hope the Democrats understand how truly unpopular data centers and Flock cameras are, and run accordingly.

Kudos to Abdul for Michigan. A progressive voice in the senate from my home state is a dream worth reaching for.

currently reading a whole bunch of petitions and editorials from black americans of the revolutionary era and it is so striking (and frankly inspiring) to see how the ink wasn't even dry on the declaration before black americans were demanding that the patriots live up to their stated ideals

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

She believes the warning was related to a post about the ICE agent who shot Renee Good in Minneapolis.

The reason Obama used water from the river for the reflecting pool and not city water is because city water is treated with orthophosphates, which is food for algae, causing massive blooms that produce cyanotoxins that kill wildlife.

I talk to a lot of folks in real life about data centers. I have never run into even one who supports them, aside from the folks sent to our towns to sell them to us. Dems should lean into this. The Rs are generally in favor of letting corporations steal our water and power and quality of life.

Unfortunately still just as true today as when Oscar Wilde wrote it in 1890.

A historical photo of Oscar Wilde wearing a men's suit. Text reads: "The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame."

Many of the activities under this jargon phrase involve reducing oil consumption or turning to alternatives. The energy transition! Not “demand destruction.” Gawd, the mendacity is just awful.

Tav Nyong’o @tavia.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

In the paper today, sky-high oil prices caused by illegal war is discussed by profiteers as “demand destruction.” Not human or lifeworld destruction; demand.

Everyone saw the awful consequences of Citizens United when it was decided, and those consequences have come to pass. We have to prevent oligarchs from buying future elections.

Repeal goes all the way up to a constitutional amendment. But luckily 60%+ of voters already support that. It starts with state legislatures calling for it.

I suppose scientification names a process by which the formerly contestable becomes captured by science. And not just science but big science, so really, by capital. Scientification cannot occur without technocapitalism.

‘Scientification,’ a new jargon term to wrestle with. On the one hand — the appeal to authority can purloin matters from the public sphere. On the other, it’s not as if scientific truth claims are spurious …
