NEW: Datacenters are killing Americans—literally. From polluting the air in a majority Black community in Memphis to eliminating power in Nevada to stripping Georgia residents of water, it is bad. America is facing a datacenter crisis, and one watchdog says the power grid could fail soon.

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon have announced that they now plan to spend $725 billion on infrastructure this year — mostly AI data centers. With that money America could end homelessness, alleviate hunger, make public colleges free, and more.

@aoc.bsky.social Want to fire up the whole nation? This issue unites all US citizens. When Ron DeSantis wanted to put hotels and golf courses in Florida State Parks, the whole state stood up and said no. This needs way more attention.

As a result of Trump and Republicans' tax policy: ➡️ Middle-income Americans will face a tax increase by an average of $900 in 2026 ➡️ The wealthiest 1% will get a trillion dollar tax cut over the next 10 years ➡️ Large profitable corporations will pay little or no corporate income tax

Elizabeth Warren’s 2021 wealth tax would have raised $3 trillion over 10 years. Because billionaire wealth has grown so much since then, her new wealth tax proposal would raise $6.2 trillion. Still wondering if we should tax the rich?

Voter fraud is already illegal. And incredibly rare. The average person is more likely to be struck by lightning than they are to commit voter fraud. This isn't a widespread issue like Republicans want you to think—they just want to appease the election-denier in the Oval Office.

New polling from Pew shows what Americans think about data centers: Only 6% think they're good for the quality of life for those nearby. Similarly, only 6% think data center have a good impact on home energy costs. And only 4% think they're good for the environment.

But the public has mixed opinions about data centers’ impact…

People don't want data centers polluting their cities. They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

Gun violence is out of control. The victims of gun violence are Republicans, Democrats, independents, and kids, who have no political affiliation whatsoever. We need to tone down the incendiary political rhetoric, for sure, but we also need to do something about guns. The guns!
