This is pure white supremacist mythology. There is no word in which this majority Black suburban and exurban county outside of DC is “notoriously” poor.
By the same token, data centers are not going to be some silver bullet to make the county an employment hub.
Prince George's County is notoriously poor, and it's not getting better. An NFL team is leaving, a big theme park recently closed, and on.
Meanwhile, some struggling towns are using data centers to have total revivals. But sure, let's protect a barren parking lot.

Scott Colom was confident he was going to win even when he was only up by 28 votes because he knew that the outstanding votes that had to be cured were overwhelmingly going to be minority democrats.
Voter suppression is real.
There was never a point in time where Cindy was going to keep at a 50/50 pace with him for these outstanding votes cause the system in MS is set up for Republican voters to vote with ease and Democrats to jump through hurdles.

Maria Flores Garcia was her high school’s valedictorian & is a student at UMD. Her arrest is the latest example of how Trump lied when he said that he’d only go after the “worst of the worst.”

I’m seeking answers on Maria’s detention & working to get her released.

The deep lore is that Fetterman and Van Hollen both had a stroke in the same month.
One ran as a left populist and abandoned veneer entirely and the other became a left populist and a top critic of AIPAC.

“It’s really not worth being [an elected official] if you can’t look yourself in the mirror at the end of the day.” -CVH
Sen. Chris Van Hollen is basically telling AIPAC “too bad” after they ran attack ads against him in Maryland.
“It’s really not worth being a member of the House or Senate if you can’t look yourself in the mirror at the end of the day.”

Rumors are swirling about a South African trillionaire who has been funneling money to rig elections.
That might warrant some investigation when you wrap up your exercise in fear mongering and retaliation.
If the DSA is raking in foreign money from communist countries, Florida will hold the DSA accountable.

The whole point of the massive computing power is to (in theory) help the capitalists eliminate jobs.
Telling folks to support polluting data centers in their neighborhoods for more jobs is a joke.
Yes, even HE can see how misguided the Democratic establishment has become.
The left throwing in with Van Hollen—boomer child of diplomats and career politician who has been in elected office consistently since 1991—is just deeply deeply funny to me.
And I mean this with no disrespect to CVH. It’s just odd how convenient things suddenly become.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani officially signed the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) into law today.
The bill gives tenants, land trusts, and other vetted community organizations the first right to buy eligible buildings — and thus to decommodify their housing.

Folks...we could maybe do this? We could maybe get new leadership? We could maybe have nice things!
Dem Sen. Raphael Warnock non-commital on Schumer: “I think we're at an inflection point in our country. The voters are demanding that we stand up and fight for them and so any member of my caucus that feels like they should lead in this moment, I look forward to hearing their case,” he told me.

New innovation from data center astroturfers
Data Center “Subsistence economy”
Residents need to choose a side. If you want to vastly expand public support programs and a subsistence economy you may need to tolerate a data center or two. If not, then work to prioritize education and pressure people into gainful employment. Letting lots sit vacant for DECADES is not a plan!!!

Housing is one of those issues where the "solutions" that sound good often entrench us in the existing system and its myriad failures.
We can avoid this by asking questions like: Does this increase or decrease the control that profit-seekers have over our homes?
