A data center in New Jersey spilled 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into a local creek, putting the area’s entire river system at risk.
Is it any wonder nearly 70 percent of Americans don’t want a data center in their community?

National forests aren't just timber; they are the primary drinking water filters and flood defenses for millions of downstream families. Clear-cutting 45 million acres guarantees mudslides, ruined water tables, and disaster. Stop it:

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%.
It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.
We must unrig the system.

Gloria Steinem was one of the most remarkable people I ever met. She had this glowing aura of intellgience and charisma, you absolutely could not look away from her. But she never left behind her journalist's curiousity. She asked questions; she really listened. What a loss, but also what a life.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs.
Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year.

Remember that at this very moment Greg Abbott is trying to protect the mass deportation agents currently terrorizing Texans and community members all over this country.
ICE just arrested a 5-year-old on his way to a soccer game in Austin.
His name is Liam, just like the little boy from Minnesota.
He should be in kindergarten this week. Instead he's in a trailer prison in the desert.
Release Liam. Release these kids. Close the Dilley children’s prison.
