Take it from us in Hood County, we dont want it. The entire county is fighting. If they are allowed to build, 70,000 people will have NO WATER left. Hood County is looking at 7 Massive Data Centers in one of the smallest counties in Texas! We need help!! WE DONT HAVE THE WATER!! We are already in a deficit without any of those Data Centers or any other industrial entity build, yet. They are suing us left and right so they can start construction. But truth is, WE DONT HAVE THE WATER. They dont discuss with each other how much water they will be using at full build out, they dont tell us either. Citizens started reverse engineering these industrial complexes to find answers.
The impact at full build out is total distruction of a beautiful land and history rich county.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

Texas is going from 40 Data Centers to over 400 in the next 2 years

- Texas could use 30% of US data center power demand by 2028
- By 2030 the Texas data centers could use 161 billion gallons of water per year
- The 400 data centers will use the equivalent of 9 million homes in energy usage every year

I don’t want to EVER hear the words climate change ever again

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: China has explicitly informed the US that it recognizes Iran's "exercise of sovereignty" over the Strait of Hormuz, contradicting the White House readout of the Trump-Xi summit that claimed Xi opposed Iranian "militarization" of the Strait and any "toll" for its use, per a source close to Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf.

More than 10 Chinese ships have successfully transited under Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority permit system in the past two days.

[Free Talk Live @FreeTalkLive]

You have every right to know what your government is doing, and they have no right to know what you are doing.

That is why they are called public servants and we are called private citizens.

Instead, the relationship has been inverted. The state hides behind secrecy, classified files, and redactions while demanding total visibility into your finances, communications, movement, and behavior.

A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny.

Lamine didn't raise a Hamas flag. He raised a Palestinian flag. The fact that you all find it offensive to even see a flag of Palestine or them existing as people is a you problem, not Lamine's problem. And its deeply disturbing.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

There's a concept in defamation law called "libel-proof": someone is already so widely despised and tarnished that it's impossible to harm their reputation further.

If anyone qualifies for that, it's Israel/Netanyahu.

Still, let us pray this isn't dismissed before discovery.🙏

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Let me get this straight. Trump sued his own IRS for $10 billion. His own Justice Department is now considering settling that case. And one of the terms on the table is that the IRS drops all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses PERMANENTLY.

He’s using the full weight of the federal government to protect himself and his family from accountability and potentially pay himself BILLIONS of your tax dollars.

Billionaires don’t wake up at 5am. Teachers, nurses, bus drivers, service workers, etc., wake up at 5am. Billionaires wake up whenever they want because their wealth doesn’t come from their own labor. It comes from the labor of people who will never be billionaires.

American infrastructure is being gutted for data centers.

This is a hostile takeover.

Americans didn’t vote for this.

Land is being stolen.

Water is being contaminated.

People can’t breathe.

Vibrations and noise from data centers are keeping people up all night.

Trees are being cut down.

Our country is being robbed.

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

69 US jurisdictions have now blocked new data centers.

Citing the need to protect local power grids and water supplies, a growing number of cities, counties, and towns are pushing back hard against the explosive growth of AI data centers.

At least 69 jurisdictions across the United States have passed restrictions or outright moratoriums on new data center construction — with four of those bans made permanent.

Communities are alarmed by the massive resource demands of these facilities: enormous electricity consumption, millions of gallons of water for cooling, rising utility bills, constant noise, and the loss of local control over land use. What was once welcomed as economic development is now sparking fierce debates about sustainability and quality of life.

The tipping point came in Michigan, where a huge AI data center project backed by OpenAI and Oracle was approved despite strong local opposition. The decision triggered a domino effect, with neighboring towns rushing to pass their own bans to prevent similar developments.

As tech giants race to build the infrastructure needed for advanced AI, they’re increasingly running into resistance from communities unwilling to sacrifice their environment and resources for corporate expansion.

The digital revolution is now colliding with physical reality.

[MM  @adgirlMM]

Let me get this straight.

Trump, the only president since Nixon not to release his tax returns, and who promised he would release his tax returns when he was president, is suing the government for $10 billion dollars in "damages" for leaked tax returns which reveal his corruption.

And his DOJ, which is run by his personal lawyer who he appointed as "Acting AG," is going to settle.

So the American people are now gong to personally pay a corrupt president $10 billion of our hard earned tax dollars, because his feelings got hurt when his shady tax returns were leaked?

Got it. 👌

[Joel Montfort @jmontforttx]

Hill County, TX has paused all data center construction for a year while it assesses the impact they have on the environment. All 254 counties need to do this.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Now that Trump has been exposed as a total sellout who never intended to do anything with his power except enrich himself, the political establishment is working overtime to funnel people back into the duopoly.

The establishment is counting on the public to have amnesia and overlook how their corruption paved the way for a conman like Trump to rise to power in the first place.

There is something worse than Trump’s two presidencies, and that is learning nothing from them and allowing both parties to return us to the failed status quo, which will only lead to an even worse Trump in the future.

I’m going to do my best in this post to remind you how we got here and, more importantly, where we go from here. So how did we get here? The capitalist duopoly. The problem is not Republicans or Democrats. The problem is Republicans and Democrats.

Both parties have spent decades using our government to enrich themselves and their corporate donors at our expense. They turned the US government into a money laundering organization for corporate America, the military-industrial complex, Israel, and the billionaire class. There is not a single thing our government does well for the people because its entire purpose is to serve the rich.

Now here’s the part MAGA does not want to hear, but it is the truth: Trump was never the solution to any of this. His form of populism has always been fake & leaned on nationalist rhetoric to appeal to white working class voters without any substantive policies to improve life for anyone outside the richest 1%.

Trump knew the system was corrupt and that people were struggling, but he never intended to actually do anything about it. Instead he took advantage of people who rightly lost faith in a system that only serves the elite by selling them the exact same corrupt system, only he covered it in bright red MAGA paint.

Now here’s the part Blue MAGA does not want to hear, but it’s the truth: The Democrats are not the solution to any of this either. Things didn��t get better under Biden because Democrats serve the same corrupt capitalist and imperialist system that Republicans do.

Biden funding a genocide and betraying railroad workers should have made this clear. Democrats certainly love to use nicer rhetoric than Republicans, but this is only to deceive the public from the party’s true purpose, which is to serve capital and betray workers.

So where does that leave us? What is the solution when both parties are this corrupt and exist to serve the rich, not the people? The solution is we desperately need a new system that puts people over profits. And since the elites who control both parties will never let us vote for that system, we’re going to have to rise up together and fight for it!
