@clmerle@mstdn.social Data centers steal a lot more than intellectual property: water. They also contribute to climate change and can create very loud noise or pollution in residential areas.

The Scariest Court in America feat. Steven Monacelli & Dr. Michael Phillips - It Could Happen Here

During the Civil Rights Era, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans was one of the most liberal courts in the United States. It became an ally of the Civil Rights Movement that knocked down Jim Crow laws across the Deep South. But because of a string of appointments by conservative presidents starting with Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, it has transformed into one of the country’s most reactionary judicial bodies, with rulings that banned drag shows, endangered nationwide access to

@leiawelsh I'm not making an argument. I thought I used the word, "we", meaning what women, men, and non-binary people could do everywhere in this forced scarcity and social separation, not just on buses whether or not they have drivers.

The Decline of U.S. Capitalism? | KPFA

The left has a long history of predicting the decline of US capitalism and empire. Some argue that Trump is a symptom of that decline — a strongman chosen by capital to set things right — and that the ill health of U.S. capitalism is paralleled by the decline of the dollar.
