Big Tech is trying to greenwash data centers and wants us to believe that they can be powered with their own clean energy. But we’ve got the receipts to show that data center energy resources are FAR from renewable 👇

US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

OMG!

A “commander had “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ”. @us.guardian.com

Short of an invasion, the Islamic state in Iran seems likely to survive bombing. If opposition to Israeli is defined as anti-semitic, then it seems Americans are likely to become more “anti-semitic”. This would be a disastrous outcome for everyone.

The colored schools of the city were closed, and among those of his own race the day was observed by the closing of places of business and the general cessation of their daily pursuits, to do honor to the dead. The funeral program had been until late yesterday broken in upon by pressure of various societies, who begged to be represented in the tributes of the occasion.

On this day in 1895, funeral services were held in Washington, D.C. for Frederick Douglass. The Library is home to the Frederick Douglass Papers, which include dozens of bereavement telegrams that were sent to his widow following his death. 🧵

From Jewish Currents, follow the thread below.

“For all the moral panic about resurgent antisemitism over the past several years, much of it aimed at Palestine solidarity activists on the left, nothing has encouraged the real thing quite like the Epstein files.”

What Democrats SHOULD Be Doing
What Democrats SHOULD Be Doing If Democrats ever want to take America back from Trump and his cronies, here are eight things they must do.

AIPAC, crypto, and AI industry Super PACs are spending millions on upcoming Democratic primaries.

If the Democrats wants to win back voters' trust, they must reject the influence of these Big Money donors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzc57eD3cWI

Lawmakers want upstate drivers to help fund transit. It's a non-starter for Hochul Drivers in the New York City metro area already pay the yearly surcharge on their vehicle registrations to help fund the MTA.

Upstate transit riders pay taxes that fund roads used by drivers. It’s disappointing Hochul doesn’t see transit riders as an important constituency.

Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers — The Wall Street Journal More citizens are replanting overseas, drawn by a quality of life made easily affordable by the U.S.’s enviable salaries. “I wasn’t expecting to be surrounded by this many Americans.”

“The wages are higher in the U.S. but the quality of life is higher in Europe.”

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.

Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.

So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

the right really hates it when you call their planned concentration camps "concentration camps." their whole program works only if you make migrants into a scary mass of undocumented criminals coming for white families. its a lot harder when you humanize it. keep it up.

Some cities are ditching license plate readers over immigration surveillance concerns Cities around the country are debating whether to keep their automatic license plate readers. Concerns about privacy and federal immigration agents can access local data are driving these debates.

Monroe County's cameras are not Flock and Sheriff's Office told us they cannot share data with ICE without a judicial warrant.

Did the early voting thing in my state's primary today. Chose the progressive candidate when that was an option. No, I don't think we're gonna solve this mess solely through voting but given that I'm the kind of person they want to disenfranchise, it felt a nice piece of spite to vote while I can.

I’m tired of “both sides” arguments and challenges. “My side” is not always right, but the “other side” is wrong. It is attempting to destroy any real dialogue and aims to deceive us about the power of economic and political elites.

The Urgency of Marrying Affordability to Anti-Corporate Populism For all the good news, Democrats are at a dangerous moment politically.

This is a warning to Democrats. They must pivot from the immigration issue to cost of living issues before Trump out maneuvers them.
