Data centers are the leading cause of a 76% increase in the cost of electricity for America's largest power grid over just the first 3 months of this year, according to Bloomberg. The 13-state grid managed by PJM serves 67 million people, and costs have spiked this year. This time last year the cost of electricity on this grid was $77.78 per megawatt-hour. Now that cost has almost doubled to $136.53 per megawatt-hour. Bloomberg attributes that skyrocketing cost to the "booming demand from artificial intelligence data centers, which require vast amounts of energy and are putting a significant burden on America’s aging power grids."

⛵️ We are sailing! When they intercepted our vessels last week, and brutalised us, physically and sexually, the israeli army showed the lengths they are prepared to go to in order to block humanitarian aid to Gaza. We don’t know what they will do next. We sail because the risk of not sailing, of normalizing genocide, is too great. Witness is protection. We need all eyes on the Flotilla now and over the coming days as we sail towards Gaza.

A moving walkway is a great metaphor for systemic racism. This allegory is from Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum in her 📕 “Why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria?” Dr. Camara Jones dismantle the system in her TED talk “Allegories on race & racism.” Popdetective

We were told it’s impossible to build a new desalination plant in Gaza using different parts that we found inside the Strip. But for The Sameer Project team, there is no impossible! Support now: chuffed.org/project/149178… Around 6 weeks ago, The Sameer Project team hired contractors to work alongside our team members and constructed a desalination plant. This will provide a NEW source of fresh water in a genocide. We are hoping that production will be at 300,000 liters of drinkable water daily. This desalination plant will run on gas and will save us money from having to purchase from other desalination plants. Costs for water distributions will drop meaning that your money will provide more water for Palestinians in Gaza. We are in the final stages of finishing the desalination plant but we still need your material support as the cost of this ended up being $200,000. This is the last stretch, please help us finish. Even if it’s only $5, contribute to the Rebuild Gaza Campaign now: chuffed.org/project/149178… Other ways to donate include: paypal.me/mahertali (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "Rebuild") account.venmo.com/u/Maher-Ali (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "Rebuild")

When the US sanctioned me for exposing corporate complicity, I trusted people would act. If after nearly a year @bookingcom & @Airbnb still profit from stolen Palestinian property, it’s because too many still use them. Stop using them now & tell them why. theguardian.com/world/2026/may…

California could pass a massive new law to take on corporate monopolies. The biggest state in country, full of huge businesses like Apple and Meta, currently has weaker anti-monopoly laws than most states. But the Compete Act would change that — if politicians pass it and don’t give in to oligarchs who want to shut it down.
