“We must seize the moment that now exists to repair our democracy. If we do not, history shows us this opportunity will not come around again anytime soon.” @FredWertheimer #WeDemandDemocracy nbcnews.com/think/opinion/…
With AI’s job-killing, human-replacing revolution on the horizon, the unemployment rate for young graduates is already at its highest level since the start of the pandemic — the global scourge that, just six years ago, yanked those same kids out of high school and deferred their first sweet steps out of childhood. One bolt from the blue, then another: It’s enough to make a person think the universe is out to get them. “How one would even start a career now — scarred by the recent past, menaced by a post-human future, and debilitated by early exposure to smartphones — is beyond me,” writes Ryu Spaeth. “Like many others deep into their careers, I’m apprehensive about what is ahead, too.” What advice can you then give the young grad? One school of thought holds that, whatever challenges lie in the future, people will manage to adapt and flourish. That those new to the workforce can become the “author of [their] own professional lives." Spaeth explores what happens when that promise increasingly feels like a lie: nymag.visitlink.me/eRm6Mo
Donald Trump just blocked over 150 wind energy projects across America, killing 30 gigawatts of new power generation. That is enough electricity for nearly 10 million homes. He is doing this while his unauthorized war with Iran sends oil markets into chaos and pushes energy costs higher for every working family in America. Wind already provides 10 percent of our electricity. It powers Republican states like Texas, Iowa, Oklahoma, and North Dakota. American workers build these projects. American landowners profit from them. American grids depend on them. But Trump told us his goal in January. He said he does not want a single wind project built. Now he is using the Pentagon to make it happen, freezing routine military reviews that companies have relied on for years. We are in an energy crisis. Demand is climbing. Prices are rising. And the President is sabotaging American power production because he thinks turbines are ugly. This is not energy policy. It is a personal grudge dressed up as national security, and families across our nation will pay the price. nytimes.com/2026/05/04/cli…
The Russia collusion hoax would like a word.
REPORT: Governments are now classifying massive AI data centers as “military operations,” quietly stripping communities of any power to stop them. Local control is disappearing fast. And it’s being replaced by national security justifications as residents are locked out of decisions that are quickly reshaping entire communities. Project Matador in Texas alone is expected to use up to 96 billion kWh annually—nearly half of all residential electricity in the state. And it’s just one of hundreds that are moving forward right now. In Louisiana, locals describe chaos as Meta’s expansion drives up costs and disrupts daily life. Now in Utah, the Stratos Project, backed by Kevin O’Leary and fast-tracked by Gov. Spencer Cox’s military authority, is bypassing public input entirely. Meanwhile, the technology these centers power is already raising alarms, including vehicles that can override drivers in real time through facial recognition systems. This is happening now. Watch what’s unfolding around the country before it reaches your area.
The Justice Department will ask the Supreme Court to allow it to step in on President Donald Trump’s appeal of the $83.3 million jury verdict in a defamation lawsuit brought by the writer E. Jean Carroll — a move that would doom Carroll’s case. politico.com/news/2026/05/0…
Last year half of CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program staff were fired. This is the group responsible for investigating cruise ship outbreaks. The cuts were made despite the fact that US taxpayers don’t pay for this team. The cruise ship industry does.
Average gas prices are $4.54 because of Donald Trump.
