Read this number twice.

According to the Ohio Immigration Alliance, among a group of 59 ICE and Border Patrol agents it studied, 85% had sex-offense histories in their backgrounds.

FUN FACT: Mitch McConnell has been on paid medical leave for 51 days now. That's over 7 weeks.

This is a week longer than the 6 weeks of maternity leave that women in the US are not guaranteed after giving birth.

Just to be clear... WE PAID THE FUCKING TARIFFS AND THE CORPORATIONS GOT THE REFUNDS.

If you vote Republican ever again, you're as dumb as that red hat makes you look.

A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping
He approached her. She was standing still. That guy needs jail time.

If this goes viral, the city will seek charges.

THIS IS F*CKING DISTURBING!!!🤯

A leaked Anthropic document just came out in court. Their own words:

"Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world."

Next line: "We don't want it to be known that we are working on this."

They planned to shred every book on the planet, in secret. And they almost got away with it.

It starts with theft. Anthropic stole 7 MILLION books from pirate sites to train Claude, because their CEO said paying authors was too much of a "slog."

Then the lawsuits hit and they needed a legal way to keep going. So they hired the ex-head of Google Books and sent him to publishers to ask for permission. Publishers said no.

That's when they found the loophole.

Buy millions of real, physical books. Cut the spines off with a hydraulic blade, scan the loose pages, and throw what's left in recycling.

One vendor offered to destroy 2 MILLION books in 6 months. That's 11,000 books a day.

Now the insane part.. destroying the books is what made it legal.

If you scan a book and keep it, that's a crime. If you scan it and shred it, that's fair use. A judge actually approved this, which means the shredder WAS the legal strategy.

They still paid $1.5 billion for the stolen books, the biggest copyright settlement in history. Works out to $3,000 per book.

And the scans are locked in Anthropic's private library forever. Nobody outside the company will ever see them. The authors got a shredded book and nothing else.

The part I can't stop thinking about is that a book on a shelf lasts 500 years without power, wifi, or a subscription, and the AI it was destroyed for gets thrown away in 18 months.

They killed something permanent to feed something disposable.

United & Delta donated $1M → Trump ended flight cancelation compensation rules.

TurboTax parent donated $1M → Trump killed free tax filing.

Toyota donated $1M → Trump canceled CFPB refund order for overcharged borrowers.

It’s a pattern of corruption that costs you money.

I’ll get as much as I can, and there are always some great members of the community who chip in too!

PabloReports: What do you make of Pete Hegseth refusing to promote qualified women of color?

AOC: He’s an unqualified man in his role, so of course he’s threatened by women who are twice as good as he is.

This is astonishing:

99% of Americans don't even KNOW that America pays for Israel to have free healthcare.

Every Israeli citizen gets free healthcare paid for by the US taxpayer

And we don't even KNOW about it.

Erin Brockovich: When I put this map out, in the first 72 hours, the map crashed twice, and I woke up on day 3 going, oh my God, it's not one town and one data center, it's the entire country. They had no idea. They woke up to this construction. They weren't informed. City council didn't tell them anything. Because these big tech groups came in and put these city council members under NDAs.

This desert aquifer took thousands of years to fill. It could be drained in decades.

Beneath the Mojave Desert lies the Fenner Basin, an ancient aquifer holding an estimated 17–34 million acre-feet of water. Some of it has been underground for more than 20,000 years, replenished only by rare desert rainfall, one drop at a time.

On July 9, the Bureau of Land Management approved a 50-year right-of-way letting a private company convert an old gas pipeline into a water pipeline, clearing the way to pump that ancient groundwater out and sell it to

Southern California communities and Arizona water agencies. The approval skipped the environmental review that's supposed to catch this kind of damage before it happens, not after.

Arizona needs it badly. The Colorado River, the water lifeline for 40 million people across the Southwest, just had its driest year on record. Arizona takes the deepest cuts of any state when shortages hit, already losing 18% of its allocation this year, so a company selling "new" water looks like a lifeline, even if that water is being pulled from a desert aquifer that took millennia to form.

That underground water also feeds Bonanza Spring, the largest water source for 1,000 square miles, inside Mojave Trails National Monument. It's sacred to the Chemehuevi and Fort Mojave tribes, and it's what desert bighorn sheep and the threatened desert tortoise depend on to survive out here.

This isn't the first time this exact plan has been tried. A nearly identical permit was thrown out by a federal court once before, for skipping that same required review. California's governor blocked the project outright in 2019.

Who's going to tell the desert bighorn sheep there's no water left because two states' water crises collided over the same ancient aquifer?
