I know itโs become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if youโre under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
They dropped so many bombs on Gaza and released over 30 million tonnes of CO2. There's also the data centers, one of them reportedly releasing 23 atomic bombs worth of heat into the atmosphere. We are also razing forests faster than we can regrow them.
Erin Brockovich has launched a website and has begun tracking all data centers in America and logging resident complaints
In just 1 week itโs already logged 1,690 resident complaints
For this who donโt remember
Erin Brockovich was the paralegal responsible for winning out a case against PG&E, Hinckley in California, because their wastewater runoff was seeping into rural areas and creating a lot of health issues for, for the surrounding neighborhoods
That case brought in a $333 million settlement that went to the families affected by the situation because a lot of them either had staggering medical bills due to their tap water was no longer safe
So why is this important, well residents all over America are reporting their tap water and river water is being heavily polluted by data centers
Her map of data centers is new, she just launched it
The website features an interactive US map showing operational, under-construction, and proposed AI data centers, overlaid with community-reported complaints
Residents can submit reports with details, photos, and locations. Within days of launch, it received a surge of submissions over 1,600 in the first week, and reports of 1,800+ from 47 states shortly after

Theyโre taking away healthcare. AI is stealing jobs. Corporations are allowed to poison food and water again. Theyโre slashing education. Theyโre starting endless wars in multiple countries. Heโs using our money to build a ballroom. Heโs manipulating the market. Theyโre dividing the country even more with a gerrymandering war. He is taking bribes in broad daylight. And they still havenโt released the full Epstein files. This is objectively the worst and most corrupt administration in history.
LOL this is a lie
The VAST majority of water used by the beef industry is green water. AKA rainwater that's growing grass and feed and reentering the water cycle.
Read that again. REENTERING THE WATER CYCLE.
Data centers use majority blue water AKA our DRINKING WATER
