Just like after 9/11, we have to actively fight hate toward Muslim and Jewish folks. It takes active work to dismantle prejudice. It wonât happen on accident.

It would be tone deaf if Congress makes it easier to build data centers right after an election with bipartisan rage against shoving them down the throats of local communities.
The Senate's bipartisan permit reform bill would upend the National Environmental Policy Act and also weaken the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act. My legal analysis: scholarship.law.columbia.eduâŚ

Wait.... you can't trust Trump?!?
The question of regulatory misbehavior against clean energy does need to be resolved before Democrats will vote for this bill. This misbehavior sends all the wrong signals.

This is so freaking dumb. Even if Trump publicly "promises" ANYTHING, this is the most lawless administration in my lifetime. We can't trust his word.

The Senate permitting bill would be a gift to data centers and their massive gas buildout. It would weaken accountability + give developers more power at communitiesâ expense.
Congress should reject the bill.

Today's bipartisan package from @SenMikeLee, @SenCapito, @SenatorHeinrich and @SenWhitehouse is a major step toward fixing our broken permitting system and building the infrastructure Americans need for affordable, reliable energy.
Letâs get America building again.
Pro tip: If Sen. Lee says it's been an honor and a pleasure to work with you, then you're doing it wrong.

This is obviously horrible in its own right, but also it brings to light something people haven't talked enough about: the data center boom runs on diesel generators.

I somehow missed this news yesterday. I am devastated. Dolly Parton is one of the best humans who ever graced this planet. She is one of my heroes. I will always love her.
Dolly Parton on supporting the LGBTQ+ community (2016): âI do not believe we should criticize and judge other people. If youâre the fine Christian you think you are, why are you judging people? I just think we should be more loving, more caring. We are who we are. If youâre gay, youâre gay. If youâre straight, youâre straight. You should be allowed to be how you are and who you areâ

Hamid Bendaas joins Hasan to release a poll of the first 6 Dem primary states:
Neera Tanden or Josh Gottheimer who say, no, Israel's not committing a genocide, yes, we should keep sending weapons, the pro Palestinian movement is fringe.
They're fringe.
