This is a powerful article. Infuriating how every time the trucker was trying to find empathy for Pierre and Haitians in general, his girlfriend and mom kept intervening with some racist logic or conspiracy.
A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status.
He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted.

The AI Build-Out Is Becoming the Biggest Economic Bet in U.S. History
Data-center spending is greater than that for canals, railroads and grid combined—creating jobs and stock-market wealth, while boosting inflation and crowding out housing.

The state is backing off on its commitment to protect children in its care because Christianity's hatred of queer and trans people is more important than children's safety.
A federal court ruling says Oregon’s prospective foster and adoptive parents do not need to commit to affirming a child’s potential LGBTQ+ identity to serve as caregivers.
Oregon narrows LGBTQ+ foster youth protections after losing federal appeals case
The decision comes as the state ended a lengthy legal battle with a conservative legal advocacy group that had sued on behalf of a Christian mother from Malheur County.

![xAI's unpermitted turbine emissions would dwarf federal permit thresholds
Potential annual emissions, in short tons, from 30 unpermitted turbines at xAI's Southaven, MS facility
Chart: Potential emissions at 80% load
Nitrogen oxide: 2,474
Carbon monoxide: 4,065
A vertical dotted line indicates the Federal permit threshold.
Note: Federal permit threshold of 100 short tons/year is based on emissions at 100% capacity. Emissions shown at 80% capacity reflect the lower end of typical operating levels for gas turbines, according to the EPA.
He said the facility would be on par with the top 25 U.S. gas plants for nitrogen oxide emissions, citing EPA data for actual emissions.

Overall it's pretty hard to endorse the current system where 90% of House seats are safe seats and relatively low turnout primaries (a total of, say, 70k votes) determine who serves in congress, sometimes for decades.

The red state, blue state divide is real. But it's driven by more than just politics
Recent research suggests there's more going on with "ideological sorting" than simply moving to places that match one's politics. It's often one of many deciding factors, such as taxes or safety.
