Gary, Indiana is 77% percent Black.
Thousands have been without power for nearly two weeks.
Many are without safe water.
Yet every data center is operational & using enormous amounts of both power and water.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
Everyone suffers so the 1% can make even more.

Read that again. Trump bulldozed a wing of YOUR house…poured $400 million of donor favors…into a ballroom…and the Court just shrugged. Nobody asked you. Nobody will. That’s not a renovation. That’s a receipt.
Yeah. SCOTUS says Trump can continue above ground on his project.

All told I've spent 16 years serving my country, in and out of uniform. For all that time, I knew that we don't fk with Iran too much because they can close the Strait of Hormuz and derail the global economy.

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025.
They've seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts.
Meanwhile, tech layoffs in 2026 have already surpassed 2025.
Trickle-down economics was always a scam.
