Named for Marcus Garvey's economic self-determination philosophy. Working exclusively for cities and counties. Smaller markets. Historically overlooked places with the most to gain.

Grid-Positive gives cities and counties enforceable standards — on grid reliability, environment, local jobs, and revenue — before any deal is signed. Not promises. Procurement conditions.

[Terry Lee @InfluentialsNet]

I founded Garvey Labs and built the Grid-Positive Framework before this opposition wave arrived. I'd seen this pattern on enough contentious infrastructure projects nationwide to know where it was heading.

[Terry Lee @InfluentialsNet]

The concerns about data centers — noise, water use, grid strain, bad tax deals — are legitimate. But those problems come from how projects get negotiated, not from data centers themselves.

[Terry Lee @InfluentialsNet]

Democrats think 2026 is about persuading poor voters.
It's not. It's about organizing in poor places.
Trump didn't win poor people. He won communities experiencing long-term decline—where small shifts flip House seats.

Unions have 71% public approval—the highest in 60 years.
Union membership is at 10%—near the lowest ever.
Winning hearts. Losing ground.

David Huerta, SEIU California President, is someone I deeply respect and admire in our union. I'm praying for his safety and immediate release following this unprovoked attack on an unarmed American citizen. This kind of violence has no place in America.

@ThePatriotOasis Source? Because I'm not finding him saying this anywhere? Or are you mixing him up with Jimmy Buffett in 2016? What BS!

The radical woke left did what?

I seemed to have missef it but where was the "hero with a gun" in Kansas City today? Isn't that why States like Missouri allow open carry and have some of the least restrictive gun laws in the country.

No joke, George Santos is the first "professional" scammer elected to the US Congress. I know ifvwe dig deep enough we'll find out that he grew up in Atlanta🤣
