Insultingly WE pay for TEP propaganda ads, actors & ‘updates.’ Why? They want MORE rate increases from us for dirty power for #projectblue -for billions in profit 😡 As Tucson’s skyline gets ugly & TEP refuses to upgrade OUR infrastructure, will they also coerce our rates to climb 267%, like in VA?

If you are an expert on air quality and have 10-15 minutes to talk to me today or tomorrow about important things journalists should know while reporting on wildfires and smoke, my DMs are open, or you can email me at karen at OpenNews dot org.

The fact that it’s poisoning Black people is not seen as a negative to these folks.

Here in southern Arizona alone we're looking at at ~3GW of new energy demand from planned data centers, more than the entire city of Tucson consumes. Our utility companies' energy mix is mostly fracked gas, and you're sadly mistaken if you think they're going to meet the new demand with renewables.

Hey can we stop pretending that we can meet dozens and dozens of gigawatts of new energy demand with renewables on the timeline these tech bros want them? It's just not possible. And also these AI data centers have negative social benefit.

We could also just not power them at all. LLMs have no real social benefits, they exist solely for fraud, misinformation, and spam. It's a waste of energy and money and only serves to further enrich the worst people, so why even entertain the notion they're worth supporting?

ICE’s tactics are evolving. AI, surveillance tech, and corporate greed is driving harm beyond the border. Join @conmijente.bsky.social, @justfutureslaw.bsky.social, & Surveillance Resistance Labs on Monday 6/29 @ 7 PM ET to break down their newest report. secure.ngpvan.com/Jfq6AaFDNEmP...

Announcing a new Info-Series! Community Stricott (Strike + Boycott) of those who profit from bringing Project Blue and other data centers into the world. These guys are paving the road to hell for big tech and the surveillance state. Stay tuned for more in-depth looks at the Project Blue Bad Guys.

Data Centers are the sites of deep systemic issues affecting all of us. Communities continue to resist extraction, oppression, and surveillance infrastructure. At this festival we will explore how to resist data centers and other forms of oppression with workshops, food, and fun water games!

i’m old enough to remember when folks in Memphis managed to take their own arial photos of Colossus to show that xAI had 35 methane gas turbines operating on-site, not just the 15 that were permitted. now court documents put that figure at FIFTY SEVEN. www.wired.com/story/doj-la...

Gets to many of my concerns with this proposal. We don’t need a public stake in a multi-trillion dollar toxic asset. Public investment/ownership has to come with serious conditions — and that’s not the version of this paradigm that Trump and the tech companies are warming up to.

In detention centers, in the streets, and on social media, the Trump administration is waging an aggressive campaign against those exposing its worst abuses, writes Jenna Ruddock. Tech companies have complied with the crack down on community ICE watching efforts.
