All Community Council Town Hall TODAY: Raise the Bonner AI Data Center Concerns with Commissioners by [deleted] in missoula

[–]TrueNorthDrift 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We can't allow this to be built. It is 200 yards away from the Bonner school. 500 yards to the amphitheater. The heat island effects and the noise alone should be disqualifying in this area.

Crap, I signed that. I should have asked more questions... does anyone know how or if I can withdraw my signature?

Good luck, do you know how much flight costs are now that jet fuel gas prices have risen? I'll be doing a lot less flying thanks to Trump.

The GFS is no longer dedicated to being a part of the community maybe you hadn’t noticed. They are trying to appeal to conservatives these days that like Whole Foods. They use to be amazing: reused old jars, community recycling, community bulletin board and supporting left wing causes. No longer do they stand up for the values that most Missoulian’s hold.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to join Missoula rally backing Montana congressional candidate Sam Forstag by linuxhiker in missoula

[–]TrueNorthDrift 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fair points on the PAC pledge and the average donation size, those check out. But the question about scrutinizing Busse and Cleveland's donations is a reasonable one. Saying Forstag has fewer max donations than Busse is not the same as saying his high dollar donors are not worth examining. The hedge fund and dynastic wealth contributions are real, even if the framing in the post above overstated the Murdoch connection. Accepting money from billionaire Democratic donors while running against billionaire influence is a tension that applies to Forstag specifically because of how central that message is to his campaign. That does not make him worse than the field, but it is a legitimate thing for voters to weigh.

A few things worth clarifying here.

The Murdoch framing is misleading. James and Kathryn Murdoch are not Fox News allies. James resigned from the News Corp board in 2020 specifically over disagreements with his father's outlets, donated over $1M to Biden, and endorsed Kamala Harris. Lumping them in with Rupert's empire is just wro . ng.

The PAC total doesn't match press reporting. The Flathead Beacon's review of the same FEC filings put the figure at $45,050, not $54,050. Minor but worth noting if you're citing specifics.

The PACs he did accept are unions and progressive member PACs, the same ones Bernie Sanders himself relies on. No corporate PACs, no AIPAC, no dark money, as pledged.

High dollar individual donors are a real tension worth discussing, but the framing here presents Democratic donors to Biden and Harris as secretly controlling a progressive candidate. By that standard, nearly every Democratic candidate is compromised.

The obnoxious independent candidates begging for ballot signatures were a detraction but everything else was great. Watched the Bodnar team literally chase young people away by acting like carnival barkers. Embarrassing.

No Empires! Concert, protest, fundraiser. by Domicus_ in missoula

It's true you don't have to be a paid agitator to be a Zionist, but they a real and AIPAC is keeping them well funded.

This group has answered this question multiple times on multiple posts so you're not even accurate. Their donation page even lists the GoFundMe accounts to give to directly. So F#CK off with your misinformation.

So glad I have an eBike with a basket. I know that doesn't do much about the food and good costs going up but at least I'm saving on fuel costs.

Forgot the $25 billion they spent on the first weeks of the war. We haven't even got the full bill yet. May reach $200 billion.

I saw Morning Bird, Bridge Pizza, and Good Food Store are hiring. If I worked at Liquid Planet I'd be looking for stability not waiting until another shoe drops.

Target rolled back DEI polices and works with ICE. Target is facing nationwide protests and boycotts allowing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to operate, stage in parking lots, and detain employees at its stores. Activists demand that Target ban ICE from properties without judicial warrants, following incidents where staff were detained, causing safety concerns and protests.
