NEW: Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have announced the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Data Center Moratorium Act, legislation that would enact a reasonable pause to the development of AI to ensure the safety of humanity.

These stories aren’t just wins—they’re proof that regular people and courageous leaders are refusing to yield an inch. The resistance is firing on all cylinders, and it’s beautiful to watch.

Recharge hard this weekend, stay connected to what matters, and come back Monday ready to build on this momentum. 🔥

I would point out that AI is a step along the path to autonomous robots both of which need to be delineated in Human Law. We cannot just allow the Tech Bros to impose this on society for their own gain and power. We need to dust off Isaac Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics, add a few things. and rein these guys in.

That billboard was brilliant, Scott. You’ve been at this awhile with Nunes and glad you kept up the pressure. I thought he was put out to pasture with his cows many moons ago. I told him to mooooove over.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

HHAHAHAHAHA he thought I was the cow the entire time, I never was

Lois Levenstone's avatar

Well ol’ Devin did have a cow about those ads. Too funny

Completely agree and wonder why we aren’t seeing the billboard strategy employed everywhere. I have some great ideas for billboards but just have never been able to generate any interest on this site or anywhere else. I don’t even get a heart from Scott. How about one in every red community featuring Trump thanking them for making him and his family richer by the hour, or a direct-mail piece.

Stadium flyovers of football stadiums too, or just ads in the paper for heavens sake. We get no new ideas or inspiration from DNC on this score. Sometimes I think the whole thing is a money grab on both sides .

Steve Schmidt at The Warning may be doing something like this with his Save America Movement. I know they've plastered DC with posters mocking some of dump's lackeys, and they have their liberty vans, although I think the latter are for filming ICE harassment. I sort of remember a billboard truck they did for something somewhere.

I love your wording--"people they never saw coming" that are fighting back.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thank you Dr.!

Billboard in trump dominated areas explaining the wreckage would be great

Scott Dworkin's avatar

I agree Gale!

If you are sufficiently corrupt and loyal to Trump, you too can join his administration. No other qualifications required.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Agreed Jeri!

Devin Nunes, the stupid and corruption continues

More localities need to permanently ban data centers, ICE detention centers , battery facilities…

Learn from those who are doing this!!

Scott Dworkin's avatar

He is terrible Deb and a liar to boot!

Kathy Hughes's avatar

It doesn’t surprise me a bit Nunes drove Untruth Antisocial into the ground. He shares the same lack of business skills with his boss.

Joan Makurat's avatar

Inre: data centers, every community should ban them forever.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

They have to do put it somewhere else Joan!

Joan Makurat's avatar

WHY?

Let's just do away with them

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Great point!

We’re really getting to it now. It’s awful, dirty, exhausting work but we need to keep at it - fighting fascism in our country. We need to get to the election in November in a a strong and confident position. And we will.

I know the professionals need to couch their enthusiasm for what democrats can achieve in the midterms. I don’t need to. We’re pretty much going to take the House by large margins. They can’t recover from their abuses to make even a small competitive race for the House. That’s over in my view.

The real story is the Senate. I’m not a journalist of any sort but I have a brain and can read a room. The Senate is pretty much lost for them too. The only question in my view is by how many seats. Our base is about 52 by my count at the moment. But I’m thinking a more realistic count would be 55-57 seats by Dems.

Don’t sleep on that. Look at all the states, read the room, do the math. I’m not wish casting, I’m simply looking at all the polls. And this very important fact: The natives are extremely restless. We need to have a plan for what we’ll do with some power when we get it.

And we need to keep working together. Don’t ever stop working. It will be worth it!

Thanks for the shout out to the IE. That's Southern California's Inland Empire, which covers Riverside and San Bernadino counties and some people include the eastern edge of Los Angeles County. The area has been purple (Dem and GOP) for decades but is starting to realize that community "trumps" Trump.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Great to hear Robyn!

Nunes—another in the long line of incompetent men who snivel behind Trump.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Agreed Ann!

Debra Sprague's avatar

Fighting back….

Means secure elections thank our governors! Calling out fraud and graft - Nunes has no business near any government department, not fit for any! And communities saying no to corporations that care nothing about our environment or communities….ALL the best news! Thanks so

Much Scott

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Thank you Debra and for reminding me the difference of graft and grift!

Stacey Jenkins's avatar

Good riddance to Devin Nunes, no surprise he’s put into another position in the regime he’s completely incompetent to hold!

Good to see states and communities pushing back and setting boundaries against the corrupt politicians and the regime

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Agreed Stacey!

Happy Saturday everyone!

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Same to you!

Between protesting AI centers and huge concentration prisons, what's left for Americans. I am sick of bailing out Trump's favorite dictators and watching Trump spend our tax money on his frivolous fever dreams. Isn't tax revenue supposed to benefit Americans. And then there is the corruption of the Mar-a-lago mafia. (Osoff).
