Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

We're now experiencing a heat dome in Portland, and this will be the longest-lasting in our city's history. Notables: Friday: Upper 90s Saturday: 101 Sunday: 101-105 Mon: 100 Tues: 100 This is significant for so many reasons, and not just bc many people here don't have AC.

Things are going very well when we've reached the "Don't worry, the military won't obey orders to kill civilians" stage of democratic backsliding. It's the sweet spot, where good things happen. Right where we want to be.

and even if someone thinks "well I don't like/look at porn so why should it be a priority for me?" it's important to remember that when christofascists say "porn" they also mean age-appropriate comprehensive sex education, media with queer/trans people in it, and picture books about gay penguins.

Rafah was just two months ago home to 1,400,000 people and now it is home to a mere 65,000. More than half of all the buildings in Rafah are gone. The corridors near Egypt have been burnt to the ground. This all clearly violates Biden's so-called "red line" but no action has been taken at all.
