Dear Democrats,
You don't have to be perfectly fair and nuanced about the cost/benefits of data centers, or AI, or Flock cameras.
You can just demagogue the ever-loving shit out of *all* of it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Democrats Should Demagogue AI. Seriously.
The politics of data centers, Flock cameras, and runaway tech could hardly be clearer.

"People sometimes ask me why I’m so hung up on Bari Weiss and the answer is that it’s because her project is essentially the same as Donald Trump’s project." Scott Pelley gets it, too.

Trump and his people have used the summer months to up their despot game…At the same time, Vance sounds downright Orwellian on the John Bolton matter. Plus, Wes Moore punches back, the injustice of the trans military ban, and emerging signs of a broad Democratic coalition.

Williams, 45, became the oldest woman to win on the Women’s Tennis Association tour since 2004.

What if the U.S. started a trade war only to get bored halfway, and wander off like a toddler in their first soccer game?
Well, we're living it. It has been 12 E̵p̵s̵t̵e̵i̵n̵ days since the White House bothered to issue a tariff letter, and it has left most countries in the dark about next week's tariffs

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.
