Writing, Refaat Alareer reminded us, is an act of resistance. When Dems moved to knock me off the ballot my polling numbers would’ve required them to include me in EVERY SINGLE televised debate. That was an outcome that the Zionist establishment could not accept. Every single debate I would’ve said ‘Free Palestine,’ and ‘resistance is more than a right. It’s a responsibility!’ The election would’ve become a referendum on divestment. For thinking people, it still is. Anyone using ballot access to dismiss my campaign capitulates to Zionist electoral manipulation. Defy it instead. Write ‘Butch Ware’ on your ballot on 6/2, and they’ll have to answer to us on 11/3.
69 US jurisdictions have now blocked new data centers. Citing the need to protect local power grids and water supplies, a growing number of cities, counties, and towns are pushing back hard against the explosive growth of AI data centers. At least 69 jurisdictions across the United States have passed restrictions or outright moratoriums on new data center construction — with four of those bans made permanent. Communities are alarmed by the massive resource demands of these facilities: enormous electricity consumption, millions of gallons of water for cooling, rising utility bills, constant noise, and the loss of local control over land use. What was once welcomed as economic development is now sparking fierce debates about sustainability and quality of life. The tipping point came in Michigan, where a huge AI data center project backed by OpenAI and Oracle was approved despite strong local opposition. The decision triggered a domino effect, with neighboring towns rushing to pass their own bans to prevent similar developments. As tech giants race to build the infrastructure needed for advanced AI, they’re increasingly running into resistance from communities unwilling to sacrifice their environment and resources for corporate expansion. The digital revolution is now colliding with physical reality.
Today is the deadline for the second campaign finance deadline of the year. We are about 25 Maryland donors short of our goal. If we hit it we stay on our pace to have the best third party campaign in Maryland in this century. If you have $5 or $10 today is a great day to donate!
Family! Please, if you can spare a few $$- $3, $5, $10 then consider making an in-kind donation to Andy's campaign for governor in MD! He's running as a green & uncorrupted, meaning no PAC or corporate $$. His quarterly deadline is today. 🙏💚💚
