The only thing Trump is hotter for than surveillance state data centers is teenage girls. He provides for them in the OBBB. He has a whole page of EOs he's written to expedite and protect them. He and his friends are getting rich on the destruction of our communities and environment. It's a crime.
Sad that HStevens lets her owners transform simple opinion & fair criticism into "disparaging to women" implying sexism on her behalf. Gretchen Whitmer & Michelle Obama are strong women who can dish it & take it. Stevens demeans & weakens more women with her faux outrage. Criticism isn't illegal.
Everyday Americans are just ATMs for Trump and his cronies, including Netanyahu. I honestly don't know what we get for our Fed taxes anymore: War, financial struggles, foodborne illnesses, surveillance and loss of privacy and rights. In 1775, they had taxation issues too, just sayin'.
This is a real @rephaleystevens.bsky.social post on X yesterday trying to deceive low-info voters into believing that GOP challenger Mike Rogers endorsed @abdulelsayed.bsky.social. Some people can't discern a joke or parody or whatever this was. How will this help her unify people if she does win?
This proves it. When you have millions contributed and just $3600 came from Michigan, it's clear other interests are more excited about Tom than MI07. Someone with a sick cat in MI07 could raise more in a GoFundMe than that!
🌟🗳️Michigan's Primary is on August 4!🗳️🌟 This is your chance to decide who you want to represent you in November! Some key dates are below - and you can find all you need to know about upcoming elections and voting procedures at Michigan.gov/Vote! If our vote is our voice, let's turn up the volume!
Where IS Mitch anyway? It almost feels like @govandybeshear.bsky.social needs to walk through the gates of Mordor and climb Mt Doom before he can learn what really happened. Not sure a council with Elrond will help, but a #KYSpecialElection sure might. Orcs are being very clever.
It's hard not to see literally everything Republicans do these days as something related to abusing women and s*x tr@fficking children - or protecting and abetting those who do. They will go to war, blow up boats, torture immigrants, & arrest citizens to evade the ped0filia elephant in the room.
"Naw, there's no education issue in the US." Grand Haven, Michigan: "Hold my beer!" Beachgoers dragging their kids to swim in Very Unhealthy to Hazardous level air quality. 🙄 #ImpureMichigan.
The DCCC would rather give the US House back to the GOP than support candidates who actually want to legislate by the ideals the DNC claims to espouse – yet never finds "the right time" to make happen. They doesn't want D voters to choose the party direction. That honor goes to their Super PACs.
I think Haley Stevens' baseless attacks on Abdul El Sayed are steeped in anti-Muslim bigotry that is not a good look for a Democrat. He has more education and fresher, people-forward ideas than Stevens, whose acting with as much integrity as a Republican.
Fixed it: Billionaires apply for MORE corporate welfare. Oracle, the tenant of the Saline Twp data center project, wants 50% property tax cuts since its costs have skyrocketed from $7B to over $43B in under a year. They already pay no sales/use taxes. Twp residents get nothing for their trouble.
We lived for millenia without AI doing all our thinking. When the water is gone we'll live 3 days. We shouldn't even consider building these industrial parasites (owned by wealthy parasites) until we regulate where we even need AI. We're killing our planet for something we don't need in everything.
That Oracle Open AI data center in Saline Twp Michigan is a Stargate project which no one will admit, but is likely high on Trump's expedite list so he can lead the world in AI-managed war-making and processing domestic surveillance data. They never say that. He's not hot for them for no reason.
And that monster stood with the woman 2 years ago I would have crawled through fire to elect as POTUS. Big Gretch's aspirations now must be to get on a board of directors or lobbying group that can help spread these parasites everywhere. She can go to Mars with Musk for all we care in Michigan.
It's 💯 a unifying issue! The fight's not red vs blue here in the Mitten but all of us everyday people struggling to live versus billionaires, monopoly utilities, and their pet politicans who make end runs around what we the people who elected them want. Sometimes, mittens turn into boxing gloves!
Truth! Eventually, all of will be fighing a data center or the new generation plants and battery storage facilities that come with them. It's often a package "deal". Everyone, please attend your local board meetings. Ask questions about zoning changes or utility upgrades. It quietly starts there.
The data center crisis has made Americans realize what some of us have seen for some time. Red and blue is so yesterday. Today's battles are the billionaires, pet politicians, and the machines versus the everyday Americans who just want a happy, comfortable life and a future for their children.
👏🏻👏🏻 MI HD61 @repdenisementzer.bsky.social for your work in snagging $2M in funding toward this $3.5M project that will help train/retrain fire department personnel across Macomb County! This dedication to the district's needs is 💯why we need to re-elect Denise in 2026! www.macomb.edu/news/2026/06...
Go Abdul! Loved seeing you in Monroe this week and soaking up all that amazing people-focused energy!
Exactly! They are industrial parasites owned by the richest humans on the planet and our government is giving them tax exemptions to destroy our communities and bankrupt the people.
Project "Trust Us" 🙄 Our terms are "get the f*ck out of our state. Leave 20% of the world's only fresh water alone." Michiganders want our environment protected, our home values & water quality preserved. No jobs or cash for new fire trucks is worth the crippling effect these parasites will have.
Our terms are "get the f*ck out of our state. Leave 20% of the world's remaining fresh water alone." There's no way to do this right & force people to live with them. It's why I'm voting for Abdul now. You're all still trying to put lipstick on the data center pig. We don't trust you or big tech.
This issue has had one bright side. It's getting neighbors talking again and working together across political divides. I've spoken with Republicans who are now making the connection - that billionaires and their pet politicians want us to fight each other so they can laugh all the way to the bank.
The hyperscale data center issue is truly uniting communities across the political spectrum. People are finally seeing the truth. It's us (everyday Americans) vs them (the über rich and their pet politicians). It's a battle we must fight and win or the entire planet will pay a heavy price.
WTH? 😕 Republicans see "commies" everywhere. They can't define what communism is, why it's good or bad, and some still think Russians are under Communist rule. But hey, shouting it in the 1950s was effective and the 1950s were dreamy years the GOP would love to revisit now.
The more you know: A remora (often called a sharksucker) is a fish known for hitching rides on larger animals like sharks, whales, and sea turtles. They are not looking for a free ride, but instead have created a mutualistic relationship with their hosts in which both species benefit from the other.
Fighting data centers takes up half my activism time in Michigan. Gov. Whitmer and Trump have rolled out the red carpet to the richest technofascists in the world. We get no taxes, 50 jobs, and and a couple fire trucks/rec centers to pay for destroying the Great Lakes. HUGE election implications!
