Interviews about resistance to AI data centers

[Saul @saaaauuull]

Nothing as sweet as realizing you forgot Eric Adams was running because he was so irrelevant

[Saul @saaaauuull]

Zohran Mamdani’s win is arguably the biggest setback to Trump’s authoritarian agenda yet.

He just showed if you smile, hustle and speak truth about a better world you can beat the Dem and GOP establishments in the biggest city in the US. 100s will run for office w this energy.

@SenMarkey Thank you for sharing this, extremely helpful and troubling

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

Here's a state by state thread of the 338 rural hospitals across the country that are at risk of closing or cutting services if Republicans pass their Big Ugly Bill. 🧵

[Collin Rees @collinrees]

Thousands out in Portland ME demanding Trump + the GOP get their #HandsOff our social services, our democracy, + our climate!

Speaker after speaker demanding Dems step up w/ a bold + positive vision to stop the brutal attacks on working people + take back power. #HandsOff2025

[Rep. Summer Lee @RepSummerLee]

Kidnapping an activist and jailing him in the middle of the night is a brazen act of authoritarianism.

Punishing dissent by revoking legal status is a dangerous precedent to set.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Over 15,000 people came out in Republican districts in Michigan and Wisconsin this weekend to say NO to oligarchy, NO to authoritarianism, NO to Medicaid cuts, NO to huge tax breaks for billionaires.

If we stand together we can defeat Trumpism.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

We’re told that rural America doesn’t like progressive ideas.

Not what I saw today at our great rally in Altoona, WI — population 9,200.

People here, and across the country, understand that health care is a human right, and our economy must work for all, not just the few.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I went to the Senate floor to lay out for my colleagues the stunning story of brazen, open corruption during the first 6 weeks of the Trump presidency.

I think it's a story everyone needs to know.

1/ So a🧵with the highlights from the speech.

[IAM Union @IAM_Union]

Urgent action needed! Union workers from @Metra @PaceSuburbanBus @RTA_Chicago & @CTA rallied at the Illinois State Capitol, demanding a sustainable funding solution by May.

Failure to act will disrupt public transit & harm communities.

[U.S. Representative Al Green @RepAlGreen]

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

That’s a shame. If your Republican representative won’t meet with you because their agenda is so unpopular, maybe a Democrat will.

Hell, maybe I will. If your congressman refuses to meet, I’ll come host an event in their district to help local Democrats beat ‘em.

[Andrew Freedman @afreedma]

NEW: The Trump admin has informed NOAA that two buildings that are critical for weather forecasting will have their leases canceled. If this comes to pass, it's a really big deal. Includes weather fcst nerve center in College Park, Md.: https://t.co/MAzRvzMLrZ

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Wrong, Elon. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 86 years. We can make it solvent for the next 75 years and expand benefits by scrapping the cap that allows billionaires like you to pay the same amount into Social Security as a truck driver.

[FedWorkersUnited @FedWorkersUtd]

Last week, we took action because America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist oligarchs who undermine our democracy.

Worker power has saved us before—let's do it again. #SaveOurServices.

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

Proud to stand in solidarity with workers at Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn who are fighting back against mass layoffs and corporate greed.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Great turnout for our rallies against oligarchy in Nebraska and Iowa — and this is just the beginning.

Blue state, red state, or purple state, the American people do not want Musk and his fellow billionaires running our country.

[The Hum Podcast @thehumpod]

Learn from history - Trump and Musk’s comments matter less than their actions, which are consistent with how democracies become authoritarian

[The Hum Podcast @thehumpod]

To stop authoritarians, we need to slow them down and make their abuses backfire. Tactics from other countries that we know are key 🧵
