#Datacenters #AI #Backlash I guess the owners of the #US are slowly waking up to the reality that the people are fed up with all the garbage going on…

Ay, yo, people #voxpopuli, you have the power… step on the toes of those nepo oligarchs and show them who has the say…  ✨ 👍 #pitchforks

After pitchforks, the guillotines come… 🤷 It is better to share and quell the people's anger before they come with guillotines.

Maryland's Democrat-controlled state government enacted a law purporting to ban surveillance pricing. But as @pluralistic explains, it's all loophole -- and leaves Maryland's citizens worse off than they were before this Big Tech-driven charade.

Pluralistic: How not to ban surveillance pricing (30 Apr 2026) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

Trump, Musk, Rubio, and their henchmen destroyed USAID -- directly causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, mostly children. The apparatchiks celebrated while bosses lied about what they'd done.

I can't overstate my incandescent rage at these monstrous people.

Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera.

I live in Texas, 62.5 years old. Just learned my ACA premiums are going from $602/month to $2813. In the past 2 months, I've had 3 cardiac procedures (one yesterday!) and know that the list prices on these procedures would be bankrupting. I've paid into the system all my life, and I'm beyond pissed that Johnson has only started to do anything to address a problem that has loomed for months!

Will the 21st Century Nabobs Win Their War on Public Accountability?

A friend of mine ran an analogy by me which really resonated....

TPM - Talking Points Memo

I dunno why nobody listens to Hanauer. I mean, I know what I don't like about him: he's still shilling for capitalism, even seeing all that he sees in this. But like... well... do you know where your pitchfork is?
