This is outrageous. A small town in Michigan did everything right to stop OpenAI & Oracle from building a $16 billion data center in their town. The people of Saline Township flooded their council meeting, put up signs all over town, and convinced their officials to reject it. The officials voted against the data center 4-1, and that should have been the end. But two days later the developers sued, and the town couldn’t afford to fight back in court. We are not a free nation when billion-dollar corporations can take over the land of our communities and towns. We are a captive nation ruled by corporations and billionaires.

Bolivia is showing that if you shut down society, the government will make concessions. Has anyone ever realized this before?

Behind every problem is a disgustingly rich greedy bastard trying to make even more profit. Housing, Healthcare, Energy, Food. It's always the same problem.

NEW: Multiple ICE warehouses were sold by people in Trump's circle who were sitting on the properties and losing money. We dug into it, and found that some properties were bought by the feds for 10x their list price. It's a new level of corruption — and you're paying for it.

Stop believing the lie that we have to build more data centers to compete with China. The US already has 5,381 data centers, which is 12 times as many as China’s 449. US billionaires want more data centers to replace our jobs and the US government wants them to surveil us at home and wage more endless wars abroad. The American people need to wake up and understand that while China is investing in bettering life for its people with housing, education, healthcare, and infrastructure, our own government is investing in making life worse for people both at home and abroad.

If you are saying no to Digital ID and not having your personal data stolen by billionaires and leaked to everyone in the world by their useless incompetence. Say NO with me.

50,000 people in Lake Tahoe have been told to find a new power source because their Utility company is redirecting their power lines to data centers. You ready to revolt yet?

Nearly 50,000 people in the Lake Tahoe area have been told that their utility will stop providing power to them, because it's redirecting that power to data centers. NV Energy, the Nevada utility that has supplied most of Lake Tahoe’s electricity for decades, says that next year it will stop servicing homes in the area, and instead direct that electricity to the growing demand from Nevada data centers. Northern Nevada is one of the fastest-growing data-center corridors in the country. fortune.com/2026/05/12/lak…

@OrevaZSN @ljmontello OR “we” do it because “they” like us tired? Less productive… but more manageable. This way we won’t start asking among ourselves “why do we need an expensive boss?” During the pandemic the bosses all went home… and things ran better than ever🤫

Most of the pentagon budget ends up in the pockets of war mongering weapons & “defense” contractors, not soldiers or military personnel. Pentagon is a funnel of taxpayer money to private high tech industry under the guise of defense. Costs are public but the profits are private.

@HealthRanger @RevBlackNetwork Lots of compute power to surveil every American real time via vehicles, flock, health databases, crypto currency, drones, thermostats, tvs, phones, doorbells etc etc. They're scared. It's a total surveillance state complete with lots of ice warehouses for the trouble makers.

Trump lied about the cost of the ballroom, but there’s another angle to this. How does a ballroom go from costing $400 million to $1 billion? Because it’s not just a ballroom. They’re building a bunker underneath to ensure that in a nuclear war the politicians who caused it will survive while we all die. That’s why this is so urgent. The only way to survive a nuclear war is to prevent one by stopping these politicians from having a secure bunker where they will be safe. Imagine how much more dangerous their rhetoric, policies, and wars will become when they know they won’t suffer the consequences from them. The safer the elites are, the less safe the people are.

Happy May Day! Every freedom the working class has is a result of socialism & organized labor. That’s why the rich fight so hard against socialism. They realize their profit comes from exploiting labor. It’s critical we realize our liberation comes from fighting back together.
