@guardpilot @FPWellman The problem is that women and minorities are purposely ignored and looked down upon, just like Hegseth removing all the non-DEI officers and recognitions because he is racist and sexist. That’s why something like this exists. To protect against drunk racist pigs

[Chris Griffith @streetnoodle]

@FPWellman @Pooz1969 If the administration removes all evidence of women's great accomplishments, it'll make it easier to convince younger women that only white men are heroic and women need to stay home with the kids and kitchen because women can't accomplish greatness. Or much of anything at all.

28 years and Hegseth cancels it. This isn’t anti-DEI. It’s hate designed to push them out of service. — Air Force cites DEI ban in cancellation of wreath-laying honoring women vets https://t.co/Lu6vBCVJ8R

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents kidnapped a U.S. citizen, while he was grabbing coffee, in Maryland.

Samuel Guzmán repeatedly told agents he was born in the United States. He even offered to show his ID… and they didn’t believe him.

Instead, they took his phone, wallet, and keys, shoved him in their car, illegally transported him to another location, questioned him about where he was “really” from, for 2 hours, and refused to let him call anyone.

Then, once they realized he was a U.S. citizen… they let him go without explaining why he was detained.

The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures…. ICE agents don’t get to kidnap someone, from a coffee shop parking lot, without reasonable suspicion or probable cause.

The Fifth Amendment guarantees due process…. Holding someone against their will while refusing to tell them why, or denying them access to contact anyone, is a constitutional violation.

And the Equal Protection principles mean the government can’t target people simply because of their race, ethnicity, or the language they speak.

If you’re okay with constitutional rights disappearing the moment someone has the wrong last name, or skin color…

You were never defending law and order.

@JamesTate121 This guy does a great job breaking down the actual science of data centers, and why they will fail and bring our economy down with them. https://t.co/0ipywOEEiw

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

This aired on CNN — Laura Coates Live. And it is the most powerful single television appearance in the entire data center fight.
Consumer advocate and environmentalist Erin Brockovich joined the fight against AI data centers as communities nationwide raise concerns about secrecy, environmental damage, and quality of life. Brockovich tells Laura Coates that “the size of these places is unbelievable” and says the rapid expansion of the projects across the country is “shocking.” 
The size is unbelievable. The expansion is shocking.
Those are not words from an abstract policy debate. Those are words from the woman who drove to Hinkley, California and looked at what a corporation was doing to a community and decided she was going to do something about it. Who spent years being told she was wrong. Who helped win a $333 million settlement that changed American corporate accountability forever.
She looked at AI data centers — the size of them, the speed of them, the secrecy of them — and said: it is unbelievable. It is shocking.
And then she built a map. And 6,615 Americans filled it with their stories in 30 days.
Here is what Erin Brockovich said on CNN that every American needs to hear:
She called the secrecy surrounding data center approvals the most troubling part of the entire phenomenon. Not the water. Not the electricity. The secrecy. The fact that communities find out after the deal is done. After the NDA is signed. After the permit is approved.
After the bulldozers are already warming up.
She has seen this before. She knows what it looks like when an industry moves fast and in secret and counts on communities not finding out until it is too late.
She is not going to let it happen again.
And this week — with 71% of Americans opposed, with working class communities fighting at five times the rate of wealthy ones, with Kentucky voting out data center supporters, with Blue Island packing a council chamber tonight, with Nashville Zoo’s legal challenge filed today and 332,000 signatures still climbing —

Trump can’t accept that the people of California would reject him over and over and over again, Marc Elias says.

That’s why he and the GOP want an excuse to ignore the results of elections where Democrats win.

EXCLUSIVE: As Republicans continue pushing voting restrictions, another threat to U.S. elections is emerging: The rise of AI.

To address both challenges, Democratic lawmakers introduced new legislation, shared exclusively with Democracy Docket.

@DemocracyDocket It has to go through the Parliamentarian. Which of course is what Donnie wants. He wants her to say it can't be in there to put more pressure on the GOP to get rid of her. He knows it's not supposed to be in there, but he doesn't care.

@DemocracyDocket FFS! He has spent all your money! The money that comes in goes straight to his pockets while he is using your money for all his junk gold. You’re just a piggy bank and it’s empty now.

@DemocracyDocket IDK about anyone else, but I'd rather my tax dollars go towards universal healthcare, affordable housing and free education NOT for more endless "wars". I am beyond 😡 with this "administration".

NEW: Trump said the Department of Defense is asking congressional Republicans to include the SAVE America Act in a $350 billion defense spending bill.

It's the president's latest attempt to use the military to advance partisan goals, including his desire to control elections. https://t.co/CNRZSIKjI1

LOSS: A federal judge upheld a Georgia law that imposes criminal penalties on individuals who hand out food and water to voters waiting in line to cast their ballots.

For now, distributing food or drinks to voters in line at any polling place in the state is prohibited. https://t.co/yuRaLUVH7f
