Food & Water Watch fights for the safe food, clean water, and livable climate we all deserve.

In severe heat emergencies, access to air conditioning is a safety issue.

[PBS News @NewsHour]

This past summer was yet another reminder that the climate is warming. Now, some cities are considering whether residents should have a right to air conditioning. https://t.co/gvaGVFyzpo

Between climate change and corporate control of agriculture, it's incredibly difficult for farmers to maintain their land and business. We need a more sustainable food system that allows family farms to thrive!

[PBS News @NewsHour]

For generations, the family farm has been central to the American story. But these days, farmers are struggling with sharply higher costs and crushing debt on top of the same economic pressures the rest of the country feels. https://t.co/FVqwz2rUKm

This oil and gas drilling site has soil with high levels of arsenic. Does that sound like a safe location for homes and a school? https://t.co/ZRqihbcBBc

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

For some reason, we're hesitant to trust this collaboration! 🤨 https://t.co/7eGTOIwFL5

Enbridge's history of pipeline spills makes them totally untrustworthy.

[Truthout @truthout]

After the largest oil spill in Wisconsin’s history, Enbridge built a pipeline bypass around the rupture without required permits and restarted Line 5, drawing criticism over regulatory oversight and environmental risks.

Huge news out of Allegheny County! Even with Big Tech's view of Western PA as a potential data center hub, the County Council has unanimously banned data centers over 25 megawatts on county-owned property. We call on all lawmakers to follow suit! https://t.co/fMpQRPJnmf

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

In Mississippi, Amazon is building new power plants for AI data centers without proving that the plants are necessary and reasonably priced. Corporations' ability to build extractive industry without even the bare minimum of regulation is so destructive! https://t.co/uTHexnwbBq

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

So many people who live or work on farms face illnesses from pesticide exposure, while the corporations behind this crisis have mostly avoided accountability. Congress must pass @senbooker's Pesticide Injury Accountability Act: https://t.co/tpFbGfKHu1

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

Between noise levels, pollution and utility bills, it is totally unacceptable to expand these data center campuses without even considering public input. https://t.co/zDnUO7aFK5

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

California's ban on paraquat is a step in the right direction, and we can't stop there! We've got to keep up the momentum and protect all of our communities from the related harms of toxic pesticides and corporate greed. https://t.co/ZTQ6z67ddn

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

By canceling renewable energy projects, this administration is taking away people's job prospects. How exactly is this supposed to fix the affordability crisis? https://t.co/sJTTxLQBYQ

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

We can't allow tech oligarchs to get away with their wild and dangerous schemes. We need to pass @SenSanders and @GregCasar's commonsense bill!

[Mitch Jones @GreenMitchJones]

It's true that pausing AI won't stop it, that's why Congress should pass @SenSanders and @GregCasar's bill to ban AI "super intelligence". Not a pause. Not "pacing". A ban. Giving in to the fever dreams of a handful of AI profiteers isn't leadership, it's capitulation.

No one but Trump's cronies wants these coal plants to stay open!

[Appalachian Voices @AppVoices]

Earlier this year, TVA scrapped plans to retire its aging Kingston and Cumberland coal plants. Keeping those plants online past their original retirement dates would cost about $1.37 billion.

Just like fossil fuel corporations, just like the tobacco industry, @Syngenta knew.

[The New Lede @thenewledenews]

Revealed: Chemical giant @Syngenta hid how quickly the weedkiller paraquat could permeate clothing, be absorbed through an applicator’s skin and enter the bloodstream, as well as information demonstrating dire risks to the brain.

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

It's all connected. Fossil fuel corporations like ExxonMobil are pushing communities into droughts. https://t.co/SvdAUpDM69

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

GOOD. Amidst twin crises of affordability and climate, there's no legitimate reason not to fund solar or other forms of renewable energy! https://t.co/fJjTk2ItlW

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

Trump’s EPA literally asking Bayer how the government should regulate toxic herbicides is a new low, even for this administration 😡 https://t.co/agYIw75bXg

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

To say nothing of the absolutely outrageous utility bills people are facing thanks to data centers!

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Spending on data centers and other AI hardware now exceeds housing investment in the United States.

According to the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis, private housing investment was $748 billion in the second quarter, while spending onAI equipment and data centers rose to $752 billion.

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

While it’s not at all surprising that the same guy who’s making BILLIONS off his AI-powered meme coin is sacrificing our health, planet and lives so he can build and profit off more data centers, that doesn’t make it any less infuriating. https://t.co/LOyeanMZL8

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

.@SenSanders is 💯 percent right. Take action if you agree: https://t.co/hh8cenyYFu

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Scientists and industry leaders have been increasingly clear: AI could soon be smarter than humans and function outside of our control.

For the sake of all of humanity, Trump and Xi must negotiate a treaty NOW to pause AI and ban superintelligence before it is too late.
