@Tha_Frederation Doug Flutie. I know I still have it, but can’t find it right now.

[Patti @MsVerucas]

@Supersonic_Red I had a great time in most of the 70’s, but really
about 74 through the end, lol

[Patti @MsVerucas]

@StevenP27874368 @Supersonic_Red Yes, in fact I remember standing in my parents bedroom at times with horrible scenes on the tv screen. I know they had no idea that I saw or understood at least some of it. They would not have let me in there if they knew.

@s1xxunfiltered She’s a brilliant songwriter. That falls in line with what you said about connection. Folklore and Evermore are two of my favorites for that reason!

[Patti @MsVerucas]

@Supersonic_Red Perfect description of it all, lol

THIS IS INSANE

🇺🇸 Out of 45 U.S. presidents in history, President Trump is now solely responsible for 27.7% of the national debt.

How is it even possible that they’re about to spray glyphosate across Lake Tahoe’s national forests and it’s not front page news

[Patti @MsVerucas]

@SmithBill @tylerjschoon Not sure if you mean she’s a teeny bopper, but if so, she’s 27. So no, she’s not, lol.

[Patti @MsVerucas]

@JenniferSey I love them, they are so funny and spot on!

[Patti @MsVerucas]

@FlorkoTed @Supersonic_Red So true! I worked in IT and we stayed at work all night. Nothing happened, which was good since I worked in the IT department at a hospital.

Meta gave $950K to get you elected, and then, literally the next day, laid off 10% of its workforce.

Erin Brockovich is back, and this time she's coming for the AI industry, calling out Big Tech's data center boom as the next great environmental shakedown of American communities. She launched a self-reporting map at https://t.co/ODEJlqLss3, and within a week over 1,600 residents had filed complaints spanning noise pollution, skyrocketing utility bills, and serious water depletion concerns. The pattern she's seeing looks awfully familiar: corporations dangle promises of jobs and tax revenue, municipalities wave projects through with minimal environmental review, and the people who actually live there get left holding the bag.

The water issue alone should be setting off alarm bells. Data centers gulp enormous amounts of water to keep their cooling systems running, and some are being planted directly above critical aquifers. As Brockovich put it plainly, "Wasting heat is wasting water. We can't afford either." The technology to capture and reuse that waste heat already exists, it's just not being required. That's a policy failure, not a tech failure.

A recent Gallup poll found that 7 in 10 Americans oppose data centers being built in their communities, with many saying they'd rather live near a nuclear plant. Brockovich's demand is straightforward: if Big Tech is going to drain public water supplies and jack up utility bills, the public deserves full transparency. "If you're using public resources, the public has a right to know how much. Sunlight is the best disinfectant."

2019: Becerra wouldn't join the antitrust case against Facebook

2026: Meta (formerly Facebook) is spending $950K to install him in Sacramento

Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t want me in office, because I will work for you, not tech oligarchs.

[Tom Steyer @TomSteyer]

Today Meta laid off 10% of its workforce.

Yesterday they gave $950,000 for Xavier Becerra.

We can't let AI turn a few billionaires into trillionaires while putting millions out of work.

That's what tech oligarchs want. It's why they're backing a corporate Democrat.

[Tom Steyer @TomSteyer]

This is bullshit. I promise you.

Tax billionaires. Invest in schools.

[Patti @MsVerucas]

@Supersonic_Red This is something that cracked me up in the 90’s I think. Mothers were melting down because girls were wearing really short tops and really low pants, like Britney Spears. We wore those in the 70’s. Ditto pants and the short tops. I don’t remember our mom saying anything. 🤭

For decades, @RBReich has been a fierce advocate for working people. I am honored to have his support to bring our progressive coalition together down the home stretch.
