Hundreds of protesters gathered in Waitsfield on Saturday morning to protest Vice President JD Vance, who is visiting Vermont with his family for a ski trip this weekend.

Around 500~ Vermonters came out to Waitsfield Vermont this morning to protest VP Vance who is spending the weekend at Sugarbush Ski Resort.

Smaller protests at the resort and shops telling the Vice President he is not welcome.

BREAKING: A large group of protesters line the streets in Vermont, disrupting JD Vance's planned ski vacation.

Thank you free speech.

[Matt McDermott @mattmfm]

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

We’re basically seeing this again. OpenAI with Sam Altman is so good at raising capital (incl. now from Softbank) that it's covering up the company’s technical & commercial weaknesses. See also this excellent @AINowInstitute report from @bcmerchant. 23/ https://t.co/IabC9fxBOB

Now on top of the negative externalities on people’s power, water, air, and global climate, we have another: the ceding of more & more control over critical energy & water infrastructure to Silicon Valley. I wrote about this last week in @TheAtlantic. 14/ https://t.co/qN06OBQNsj

…they extend the lives of gas & coal plants, worsening air quality (per @washingtonpost’s @evanhalper) - not just because fossil fuels are the fastest way to surge energy supply but because 24/7 facilities can't run solely on intermittent renewables. 9/ https://t.co/xO4RkiPsWK

…they take up drinking water - yes, drinking water, because of the water quality required to cool these facilities - which threatens to hike water prices for families… 8/

Many journalists have written extensively about those externalities.

When these massive data centers come to town, they distort power supplies (per @business’s @Leonardonclt, @naurtorious, @andretartar)… 7/

@seeshespeak The most important take away from that book is that you should wear a helmet when you go sledding
