I asked six of the leading Democrats running for governor of Wisconsin if they support a data center moratorium. Only one said yes.
Last night, I moderated a forum on working-class issues. Here are the most interesting yes/no questions I asked, and what the candidates said. ⬇️

POV: You're a clearly marked member of the press trying to document an aggressive arrest by the New Jersey state police at Delaney Hall, so naturally they hit you with their riot shields.

These are not soldiers. These are ICE agents. You’d be forgiven for confusing them based on their cosplay.

Hello from Delaney Hall ICE prison camp where protesters intercepted a DoorDash order for a staff member inside. After reading out the order and asking the staff member to claim it, the protesters gave the order back to the delivery person who took it inside.

The US has quietly deployed 82nd Airborne paratroopers to Israel, per deployment order leaked to me.
The deployment is tied to new US-Israel joint contingency plans for seizing Kharg Island and carving out coastal territory inside Iran.

Make no mistake: The US government will socialize the immense costs of subprime AI. They will force us all to eat the losses, while the perpetrators of the biggest fraud in history abscond to private islands. Be ready, because a deliberate rug-pull is the plan.

🚨 “BACK UP!” 🚨
Before police moved in tonight, Delaney Hall staff emerged and began yelling at protesters.
One appeared to carry a metal baseball bat. Another appeared to flash what looked like pepper spray toward the crowd.
