Plus: a doctor won back the whistleblower law a Trump judge threw out, Missouri’s high court erased Trump’s new congressional map, and a town of 15,000 stopped the first data center on public land
The Missouri piece is the one I keep thinking about. They recut Kansas City to end a career. People got the signatures anyway. A court just put the old map back. Don’t tell me petitions are theater.
Republicans need to be crushed in every election everywhere in America. And then begin the work and investigations and trials and prosecutions to take back America from this Lawless Dishonest Out of Control Corrupt Regime - including the Executive, Congressional, and Judicial branches of this Criminal gang........
If you live anywhere they’re trying to drop a data center on land nobody voted on, start with Boulder City. Fifteen thousand people just froze the first one BLM approved. Will that happen near you?!
It’s hard to believe that Minnesota didn’t stop it. In Texas, I wouldn’t be surprised but they have so much support that I was shocked. I’ve been following you Scott for quite a while & Im comforted daily by your reporting the people that don’t quit fighting. I hope you get to relax some this weekend. So many of you fighters are going 24 hours a day & I’m grateful but you need rest.
No data center fight in my community. Yes. I had a boss whose personalized license plate was entitled “Integrity.” I asked him if he chose Integrity because he doesn’t have any. Of course he fired me.
I don't know how these people live with themselves. It is so hard to make sense of all the corruption that these people think is OK. When I hear them attack Democrats and stay silent on Trump it is just so ridiculous. It worries me a lot that so many people believe easily proven lies, and don't believe easy checked facts. Thanks for bringing us the facts every day Scott and Sam. Have a great Labor day weekend.
Sometimes I think it would help to first find the cause and treat/remedy that.
Then I start to equate it to what doctors seem to do. They treat the symptoms first (no matter the side effects, sometimes) and once those are improved, then the root cause can better be addressed (if you’re lucky).
Not a perfect analogy, but only because I get annoyed with doctors occasionally!
I don't think it's fear. I think it's hate. They just hate people. They hate Democrats. They hate different races and ethnic groups. Just look at what they are doing. I wouldn't do these things to my worst enemy. They are covering for pedophiles. They are murdering people and blocking investigations. They don't care as long as the dead person was a Democrat they don't care. And they validate it by claiming it was self defense or the unarmed person was a terrorist.
It is hate & only hate. He gives them permission to show it, speak it, do it. He's "their guy" because "he says what I'm thinking", which is a quote from a man on the street interview last year. It showed up as a video on my FB page. It's the most telling reason for their behavior I have read since he slimed his way into our national consciousness. And the most frightening truth because it's true of them all. I rember when republicans had actual integrity & dignity; then nixon poisoned the office of President & removed the door & here we are. What a legacy both nixon & reagan left us.
At least some of the lower courts are functioning properly. It's a travesty that SCOTUS is so dishonest and fascist. SCOTUS reform must begin as soon as the trumpstain is swept away
The corrupt conservative bloc of the SC needs to be made as uncomfortable as possible. A perfect example is the flotilla of watercraft that descended on CJ Roberts' summer home a few weeks ago. I personally believe that a corrupt SC justice's home is fair game for demonstrations - their improper if not illegal conduct to me constitutes a waiver of the proprieties normally accorded a judge.. If not their home, then where they shop, where they eat. Demonstrating at the Supreme Court building is like demonstrating in front of a fortress - utterly useless.
SCOTUS is so corrupt, most of them, that we shouldn't have to obey their rulings. They have nerve passing judgement, should be ashamed to call themselves attorneys or judges. They've thrown any professional ethics out and created chaos. Disgusting. I miss the time when laws meant something and judges were people to admire.
Trenton, Ohio, near me recently won the right to place a data center issue on the ballot. They collected petitions and advanced legal challenge to being allowed to present the issue to the voters.
They won! It will be on the ballot. The town is tiny, but the people have big hearts, and they all came out in force.
As to not signing, some years back I had a full-time job in another state. It was wonderful place to work! Then we got a new "boss". She made our lives a living nightmare. 30+ people were fired or left voluntarily in the first year. I nearly had a stroke, and had to go on blood pressure medication for the first time in my life. Near the end of the year, both of the supervisory people were either chronically ill, or on the verge of heart attack/stroke. The rest of us were miserable, and some were looking for other positions. I decided that somebody needed to do something, and that because I didn't have any children, nor was I responsible for taking care of an older parent or family member, I should be the one to do it. I wrote a resignation letter which included our grievances and sent a copy of it to the board that had chosen to employ my boss. It set the wheels in motion,
and soon there was a new boss. Unfortunately I left the best job I ever had as far as what I had always wanted to do. And I was unemployed for a number of months, which my husband and I struggled through.
But eventually I found other employment in a similar vein, and if I had it to do over again I would do it in a heartbeat!
Rosemary,short clip of a data center “insider” speaking about his experience at an Ohio community meeting. Informative…..and frightening. Is this your area?
There is a fight over a data center. The die-hard MAGAts are all for it, and my response is always the same: I will think more kindly of the data centers when I hear they are being built in Palm Beach, Florida.
I said “no” years ago when I was a medical resident and I told my department director that I was pregnant. He told me to take two weeks to “think it over”. I wanted to have my child., and I told him so.- I didn’t need to “think it over”. He said that there were no options for maternity leave, and that I had to use up my vacation time to recover and care for my child after he was born. Once I had my baby, I had to find a bathroom to express my breast mil, and after I month I asked to do the following year of residency part-time so that I could breast feed and care for him. He told me he would pay me half my salary if I worked two-thirds of the expected time. I said “no” again.
I live near Newburgh, New York. Stewart Airport was originally an AFB. DHS has offices in new Windsor for their lawyers and other personnel very close by. DHS is trying to turn Stewart into a detention center, or what I call a concentration camp because I believe it might be federal land. They went under the radar. Chester New York was able to stop a detention center there and congressman Pat Ryan is fighting any kind of ICE or detention action here. More people need to know about it.
We are having a similar situation in Appleton, MN where a shuttered prison has been bought by ICE, turning it into a "detention center". Rural areas are eager for short-term funding, clueless about the longer-term results. Tragic.
1. The first data center approved on public land was stopped. Is there a data center fight in your community right now?
YES, and sad to say we the people are not winning. Too many damn Republicans in place in local gov't. here. OR since this isn't really a partisan thing - too many taking handouts from AI.
Main focus today: **Yosemite.** A Nevada developer wants a strip of the park for a private road. Let's stop them: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-stop-trumps-yosemite-giveaway
Done.
Same here!
Done!

There is one coming to Hermantown, MN. Residents okayed it. Big bummer. They bought the hype, drank the kool-aid.

I will be sure to Carol! Thank you so much
I sure hope so, Sam. I will keep you informed.

Sassy woman, telling the truth. Paid the price. Right there with you, Jane.
Good for you!

I agree. These voters must be consumed by fear.
Sometimes I think it would help to first find the cause and treat/remedy that.
Then I start to equate it to what doctors seem to do. They treat the symptoms first (no matter the side effects, sometimes) and once those are improved, then the root cause can better be addressed (if you’re lucky).

Agreed, yet hate can be initiated by fear, knowingly or unknowingly.
Don't know what I'd do without your good news posts...thank you Scott

Given their behavior, I prefer to call them SCROTUS

Thank you for keeping us informed. There is just too much double-dealing and corruption to keep up ! Good way to go o to the Labor Day Weekend!

Think it over?! 😡

Newburgh is a very depressed town. I’m hopeful there will be rallies here so that the surrounding communities can help keep it from becoming real.
