@UtahCollegeReps Yeah, no. They're not. They are ponzi scheming grifters who don't actually know what they believe, because they keep changing their doctrine every ten years or so.
Finally released this EP to the world!

@troyrushton64@GovCox We need to limit all new developments! No more mega-mansions on the hillside, no more "luxury" condos that no one wants, no more private-equity-run apartment buildings with over-inflated rents, & NO DAMN DATA CENTERS!
Behind every terrible man is a life-size cardboard cutout of that same man.
These women are brilliant and doing great work! Please support them.

The Supreme Court has to make a decision tomorrow on keeping access to Mifepristone by mail, tele-health, and retail pharmacy. My stance is unequivocal: this is essential health care that must be kept available for all who wish to access it.
I’ve fought for reproductive rights, even when it cost me. I earned a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood from my time in the State Senate and was even called its “most radically pro-abortion legislator.” If you send me back to Washington, I’ll keep fighting to codify Roe v. Wade and protect access to Mifepristone as Donald Trump and his allies in Congress and on the Supreme Court try to strip it away.
This is what local accountability looks like:
In Festus, Missouri, a town of about 14,000 people, the city council quietly approved a $6 billion Ai data center to be built on 360 acres just north of Highway 67.
Residents say they were never properly heard. Meetings were held in private. Documents were released too late. A week after the approval, the town held a regular election. Voter turnout jumped 129 percent.
Every single council member who had voted yes lost in a landslide. A 70-year-old first-time candidate beat an 8-year incumbent by 40 percentage points.
Now a recall petition is circulating to remove the mayor as well. The lawsuit against the city is already filed.
Has your local government ever been held accountable like this? 🔥
@StephenM When civilization means real affordable housing, healthcare for all, the preservation of natural resources, de-escalation of growth, no AI-powered government surveillance - then maybe.
As it stands with you lot at the helm - Hard No.
🦔A data center in Fayetteville, Georgia, drained approximately 30 million gallons of water through two industrial-scale hookups that the local utility did not know existed. One connection had been installed without the utility's knowledge, and the other was not linked to any account and therefore was not being billed. The discovery only came after residents complained about low water pressure.
The campus is still under construction with completion projected three to five years out. A separate incident in Tucson last week saw Project Blue's contractor caught trucking municipal water out of a city that had explicitly voted against the project, with Tucson revoking the temporary meter and demanding two acre-feet of water credits to make the city whole.
My Take
Two unrelated data center water incidents in two weeks across two different states is a pattern, not a coincidence. The Georgia facility was running off an unmetered industrial hookup nobody at the utility had on file, which means either a contractor installed it without authorization or the utility lost track of a connection serving a major customer, and neither of those explanations should make anyone comfortable. The construction phase alone consumed 30 million gallons before operations even began, which gives you a sense of the water demand profile these facilities have once they go live.
The bigger issue is that hyperscale data centers are being permitted under regulatory frameworks built for industrial users a fraction of their size, and the utilities responsible for tracking water use are not staffed for facilities this scale. A 30 million gallon discrepancy slipping through billing is not a clerical error, it is a sign that the infrastructure for monitoring these projects is being outpaced by the speed at which they are being built. Tucson caught their problem because a citizen made a phone call to a council staffer, and Fayetteville caught theirs because neighbors noticed their taps had lost pressure. Neither of those is a functioning compliance system, and the next community in this situation will probably not catch it at all.

@kevinolearytv You are absolutely wrong. You're a liar and a thief. To push something this large and intrusive through without an environmental assessment is criminal.
UTAH, you don’t want this & the Shark Tank guy is trying to build an even bigger AI data center in our state. We don’t have enough water for ourselves let alone this data center. Say NO to the data Center!
