Construction is underway on a natural gas power plant near aptly named Carbon, Indiana that will serve a secret data center behind the meter, the first example of such a setup here.
County officials were not informed of the power plant or data center before construction started
An update: the motion of the Swarthmore 9 to have their case dismissed has failed. They are now moving to trial which could lead to upwards of a year in prison for each defendant for nothing more than refusing to leave their Palestine encampment at Swarthmore College.
Keir Starmer has gone — but we will never forget the role his government played in the greatest crime of our time.
Today, I re-presented my Bill for an independent inquiry into Britain’s complicity in genocide.
Michigan is moving a bill that would penalize bystanders who come within 25 feet of a first responder on duty. We must ask ourselves why. Some of the most important moments of accountability in this country came from someone who had the courage to stand there and record. Twenty five feet in the dark, in a crowd, or in the chaos of the moment is not close enough to capture the truth. Transparency matters.
The Pentagon is the only place in America where you can fail 8 audits in a row, admit you’ll fail the next few & still get handed more money than you asked for.
But let a family need help buying groceries and suddenly it’s a lecture about hard work, responsibility & bootstraps.
Flock: “Our cameras only track vehicles involved in crimes.”
Me: Then why do we have photos of your cameras aimed at Kids’ gymnastics rooms, schools… and now a bike path?
That’s not "fighting crime."
That’s blanket surveillance.
Will you ask her about the $76 million in taxpayer funds she funneled to her lobbyist husband?
Nobody in Maine can ask her, because she hasn’t done a town hall since Bill Clinton was president.
.@VoteBetty was one of the first people to support my run for the Minneapolis School Board.
She's been a tireless fighter for CD4's working families. Now, she’s leading the fight against Trump’s illegal war in Iran.
I'm honored to have her support for my campaign for the U.S. Senate.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani defends his endorsements of Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier, condemning recent attacks from Espaillat’s camp on the latter.
“One thing I do want to make clear that I find unacceptable is the attempt to use the term Haitian as a slur,” he says.
🚨BREAKING: A FOIA request reportedly shows a Hoffman Estates (Chicago suburb) police officer, Thomas Lapak, is also illegally working as an ICE agent.
Residents are demanding answers, raising serious concerns about how a local police officer can also be involved in federal immigration enforcement.
Residents pay the salaries of their local police officers to protect the community, enforce local laws, and serve the public.
When an officer is simultaneously involved in federal immigration enforcement, residents have every right to ask whether local policing decisions are being influenced by federal immigration priorities.
Community members repeatedly requested supervisors to provide Lapak’s badge number, but were reportedly denied each time.
They are now calling on COP Kasia Cawley to publicly address concerns, regarding Officer Thomas Lapak, provide transparency about his role, and report any potential violations occurring within the Hoffman Estates Police Department.
And they are also calling on @StateRepCrespo, and Mayor Bill McLeod, to address allegations that the Illinois Trust Act is being violated.
Regardless of where you stand on immigration policy, everyone should agree…
Law enforcement cannot effectively protect the public, if the public no longer trusts whose interests they are serving.
these ppl fundamentally misunderstand this movement. it isnt abt one person. its about every working person. it’s abt delivering an agenda that centers the needs of the working class. its abt no longer having to worry that your politicians will put corporate interests above yours
Melat Kiros, a socialist candidate challenging Colorado Democrat incumbent Diana DeGette, says she is adding a "Trans Bill of Rights" to her campaign policy page
"It is, I think, incumbent upon us to be proactive in this fight. I think we've been on the defensive. And I think there are Democrats that have even considered abandoning our solidarity and our advocacy for the gay community, particularly for trans people and trans kids. And for that, I would say, then, you're not a Democrat."
"This is our opportunity to show up and to actually protect this community. And to do it loudly and proudly and boldly is the bare minimum, I think, that's required in this moment."
it’s pretty wild to me Rep Angie Craig is attempting to distance herself from AIPAC when this video of her pledging loyalty to Israel is from April/May 2025 & barely has 600 views.
college students & young folks, check out the 51 second mark: https://t.co/yDxf2hsYvk
Angie Craig says her Senate campaign has not accepted any AIPAC PAC money in an attempt to distance herself from the toxic pro-genocide lobby.
Peggy Flanagan sets the record straight, noting that AIPAC has held over a dozen fundraisers specifically for Craig's Senate campaign, including one at the home of the head of AIPAC.
"AIPAC's candidate is Angie Craig." - @peggyflanagan
