This is crazy! Must watch to the end

🚨BREAKING: A U.S. citizen was riding his bike in Laredo, Texas… when Border Patrol agents pulled alongside him and illegally tried to block him in. When he kept riding, they chased him down, physically grabbed him by the arm, and immediately started demanding identification and asking where he was from. He told them he born in Laredo, Texas. But that was not good enough. The agent asked, “What high school did you go to?” He answered that, too… and they still kept demanding ID, over and over again. The Fourth Amendment exists for a reason. In America, law enforcement don’t get to randomly stop people, physically grab them, and demand identification because they feel like it. Being on a bike isn’t a crime. You also don’t have to carry an ID on you unless you are operating a motor vehicle… which he was not. So, demanding an ID, without probable cause, is illegal. And the cherry on top? When the man went to use his phone, an agent tried to stop him by grabbing it… apparently unaware the entire encounter was already being recorded by his glasses. If Border Patrol can stop an American born citizen riding his bike, demand his papers, and put their hands on him without stating a lawful reason… every American should be paying attention.

Who the fuck keeps voting for Lindsey Graham?

Yes. We have spent generations optimizing for growth, efficiency, profit, and consumption while neglecting the very things that make life worth living. Any meaningful reset begins with different questions. Not: How much more can we accumulate? But: What should never be sacrificed? Not: What is profitable? But: What is worth protecting? Not: What can be owned? But: What belongs to all of us? For most of human history, people understood that some things existed beyond markets and transactions. Children. Water. Community. Trust. Truth. The natural world. The future itself. These were not commodities to be exploited but responsibilities to be stewarded. Perhaps the work before us is not building something entirely new, but remembering what we once knew: that some things are sacred, and a healthy society is measured by how well it protects them and its own citizens.

Amazing that America even calls itself a 'first world country' when it's population is objectively the most exploited and under valued amongst all the first world countries.

Brooke Rollins is an embarrassment to the profession of Law and also as the Agriculture Secretary because she has no clue what she’s talking about so she tried to blame it on Biden. If I were her Professors I would be ashamed of her.

Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections. Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it. Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win. (via @LeverNews)

Every fact is “fake news” Every protest is “paid agitators” Everything they don’t like is a “hoax” Every election they lose is “rigged” Imagine being so fucking weak and pathetic that you have to invent an alternate reality because you’re incapable of dealing with the truth.

Dung beetles save American ranchers $380 million a year by doing a job nobody else will: burying cow shit. A fresh cow pat is a problem. Cattle won't graze near their own waste, so every pat left sitting kills the grass beneath it and fouls the ground around it. It's also a nursery for the flies and gut worms that torment the herd. Dung beetles drag the whole mess underground. The grass grows back, the soil gets fed, and the flies and parasites lose their hatchery. Free fertilizer and free pest control, all run by an insect that most of us think is gross.

LoL "Sorry about your heart." HAHAH.

Elon Musk is set to become a trillionaire within the next few months and a Karl Marx quote comes to mind. "One day there will be trillionaires, but you will still have nothing." Amazing powers of prediction.

The economy is now just mega-corporations, hedge funds and private equity taking printed money and giving it to each other while the average person deals with the inflation. We are in the final act of the grand heist. Be prepared.

Little Dolly Parton is set for life. The lovely smile you need today ❤️

This is why the rich and powerful fear him.

This aired on CNN — Laura Coates Live. And it is the most powerful single television appearance in the entire data center fight. Consumer advocate and environmentalist Erin Brockovich joined the fight against AI data centers as communities nationwide raise concerns about secrecy, environmental damage, and quality of life. Brockovich tells Laura Coates that “the size of these places is unbelievable” and says the rapid expansion of the projects across the country is “shocking.”  The size is unbelievable. The expansion is shocking. Those are not words from an abstract policy debate. Those are words from the woman who drove to Hinkley, California and looked at what a corporation was doing to a community and decided she was going to do something about it. Who spent years being told she was wrong. Who helped win a $333 million settlement that changed American corporate accountability forever. She looked at AI data centers — the size of them, the speed of them, the secrecy of them — and said: it is unbelievable. It is shocking. And then she built a map. And 6,615 Americans filled it with their stories in 30 days. Here is what Erin Brockovich said on CNN that every American needs to hear: She called the secrecy surrounding data center approvals the most troubling part of the entire phenomenon. Not the water. Not the electricity. The secrecy. The fact that communities find out after the deal is done. After the NDA is signed. After the permit is approved. After the bulldozers are already warming up. She has seen this before. She knows what it looks like when an industry moves fast and in secret and counts on communities not finding out until it is too late. She is not going to let it happen again. And this week — with 71% of Americans opposed, with working class communities fighting at five times the rate of wealthy ones, with Kentucky voting out data center supporters, with Blue Island packing a council chamber tonight, with Nashville Zoo’s legal challenge filed today and 332,000 signatures still climbing —
