We started a movement to get Congress to ban trading, made financial tools used by many, & created a community of millions!

We are working on the future of finance.

Thank you for being part of it.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Across America, the same protest is happening simultaneously. Town halls in Maryland, Arizona, Wisconsin, Illinois, North Carolina, California.

Same chants. Same organizers. Same outcome: data center projects paused, moratoriums passed, zoning fights dragged out.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation has led or organized anti-data center campaigns in at least nine to ten states since late 2025.

The messaging is consistent enough across thousands of miles that it reads less like grassroots activism and more like a coordinated national campaign.

So who is paying for it?

Follow the money to Shanghai.

Neville Roy Singham is an American-born billionaire tech magnate who sold his consulting firm and now lives in a shared workspace in Shanghai with a Chinese Communist Party propaganda operation.

The New York Times documented that he has funneled enormous sums into a global network of nonprofits including the People's Forum, Code Pink, BreakThrough News, and Tricontinental, all of which consistently echo Beijing's foreign policy positions on Taiwan, AI competition, Uyghurs, and American technological development.

PSL is among the organizations in that network. It does not publish detailed donor disclosures.

House committees have opened FARA investigations into the Singham network for possible undisclosed foreign influence. House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith set a May 18 deadline for three Singham-funded organizations to turn over funding records before subpoenas.

Now here's the strategic picture:

Data centers are the physical infrastructure of American AI supremacy. The US and China are in an explicit race for AI dominance that both governments describe as the defining competition of the next decade.

American hyperscalers are spending hundreds of billions building domestic compute capacity that China's government has identified as a strategic threat.

Delaying that buildout by even 2 to 3 years through zoning fights, moratoriums, and community pressure campaigns has obvious asymmetric value to a geopolitical rival that doesn't need to touch a single server to win.

The local concerns about water use and power demand are real and deserve fair hearings. But the people showing up with the megaphones are often entirely disinterested in local priorities.

We've all seen that playbook before.

The most effective interference doesn't look like interference. It looks like a community meeting.

.@kevinolearytv is right that China is trying to convince America to stop building AI data centers while building tons of its own. That's China's plan to win the AI race and control the next century.

But that DOES NOT mean data centers should just drain public power. I'm dead set against any data center that has a SINGLE line feeding them power from the grid. But some are generating their own power and giving the excess TO the grid. Those are two very different scenarios.

Thankfully, Kevin O'Leary has said his data center project in Utah will generate its own power. THIS IS A MUST.

Just like railroads, factories, oil, and electricity powered previous generations, the future will run on AI computing, powered by massive amounts of energy. We need both to stop China from dominating the world. China knows this and is trying to turn data centers into a boogeyman.

There’s evidence out now from the Bitcoin Policy Institute that foreign influence networks are actively feeding this anti-data center movement in the United States. They traced several overlapping campaigns, all aimed at slowing American AI infrastructure down, directly to China.

Strong countries build infrastructure. Weak countries fear it. We can't fall for their trap. But we must also build strategically without sacrificing public resources.

There are only two industrial actors in the world attempting to vertically integrate electric vehicles, batteries, chips, robotics, and artificial intelligence. One is China. The other is an industrial conglomerate overseen by a single person: Elon Musk.

The origin of covid is a nonpartisan issue. It has become obvious to those without a conflict of interest that the predominance of circumstantial evidence strongly points toward a lab incident, again this is nonpartisan. I understand some disagree, but there should be no disagreement that the US must now lead with diplomacy to establish enforceable international biosafety and biosecurity standards and regulations/safeguards - especially for dangerous dual use dGOF research.

🚨🇸🇴🇺🇸 How do Somali fraudsters penetrate the US?

Minnesota doesn't require a Social Security number to get a driver's license, that single loophole unlocks an entire pathway to U.S. residency.

Dr. Abdillahi Hashi Abib, Somali Member of Parliament, explains the scheme.

They arrive on a diplomatic passport, get a Minnesota driver's license, use it to marry an American citizen, declare the fraud money as investment, buy a house, and maybe even apply for a Green Card.

Once the real estate is monetized, it is laundered clean, and then can make its way back to Mogadishu through Dahabshiil or simply via junkets.

No Social Security number is required at any step...

@WHO Trust is not just about someone's credentials.

You can have an illustrious career in that exact field and still be a liar.

The Proximal Origins cover up of Covid origins showed us that.

@WHO Lies from public health organizations & experts cut deep because these entities claim to be driven by evidence & expertise.

It's not surprising that some people have more trust in "instant" experts who might have more integrity than established experts.

🇺🇸 RFK Jr. wants to help Americans get off antidepressants.

The medical establishment is already furious.

But 1 in 8 Americans is on these drugs long-term, and most were never given an exit plan by their doctors.

Maybe the outrage says more about the system than the proposal.

A major city in Colombia cooled itself by 2°C simply by planting millions of trees and shrubs—demonstrating that nature provides one of the most effective cooling solutions available.

Medellín has turned its urban environment into a cooler, more livable space through its innovative Green Corridors project, launched in 2016. The initiative planted nearly 880,000 trees and 2.5 million smaller plants along busy roads and waterways, replacing heat-trapping concrete with lush vegetation. This created an extensive network of interconnected green zones that function like natural cooling systems, reducing the city's average temperature by more than 2°C.

Beyond cooling, the project delivers wide-ranging benefits: it purifies the air, boosts urban biodiversity by welcoming back wildlife, and fosters a healthier atmosphere through shade and evapotranspiration—the natural process by which plants release water vapor. Honored with the 2019 Ashden Award for Cooling by Nature, Medellín's approach has become an inspiring model for cities worldwide seeking sustainable ways to adapt to rising temperatures and combat climate change.
