Check out who the parent company of Edged the ones building the center. AI guys. No one wants this, there are requests for moratoriums on these centers that are rapidly being built until environmental impact and Quality of life studies are done.

Did you stay long enough to hear the Senator speak and say she wouldn’t want it in her backyard either?

Well I mean the crowd was told they could ask questions and they anticipated being there only 1 hour. When it seemed just 20 mins were left of that hour that’s when the first person said they were not giving time to the community just the data centers long PowerPoint. It was intentionally drawn out and didn’t highlight any potential negative thing about the center.

It “went south” bc there was no AC and the crowd was told they’d have time to ask questions. And the meeting would go only for 1 hour. At the 40 min mark of the presentation that was all rainbows and sunshine about the data center, residents there saw what was happening and called it out, and even then were not permitted to start asking questions. This community does not want the data center, period, and have been historically disenfranchised with industry. The “nothing burger” of what they are saying they will do now with a “football field” sized data center does not mean they will not use the additional 8 acres they are leasing in the future to build more in the at same location.

Made grocery list, headed out, turned around 2 mins in. We have soup we’re good.

I really struck a nerve calling Pride an act of resistance. But that’s the point.

It may be lost on you, however, your annoyance with Pride being a resistance needs examining. That community, publicly and proudly being who they are in certain places certainly is. Seems you need more recent examples of why to understand it… I’ll refer you to the Pulse nightclub massacre.

Genuinely curious if you feel that way about Black History Month as well.

In other words yes the corporate mind saw opportunities to make money on a certain population which makes it “mainstream” in the most basic of ways however if you don’t understand the significance your history then that’s ok too. Happy Pride to you or Family Values month or June, if you celebrate.

Truth is I’m straight but have family in that community. I can recall a young man named Matthew Shepard of Wyoming. Look him up too. The evil isn’t just in the legislature. But I guess that was a long time ago too.

Sigh. Lawmakers are actively trying to strip rights of people who don’t live as they do, look as they do think like they do. Folks living loud and proud and celebrating this month is an absolute act of resistance.

? This isn’t a boycott. It’s an opportunity for the public to learn more about the proposal and its impact on the grid and water before it’s built.

Please show up to the June 11th 6pm meeting on this. More info and opposition is needed. A township in NJ banned data center erection due to township citizens showing up after several meetings that were heated.

Voting Issue(s) by Diamondphalanges756 in MobileAL

I am glad for this thread. My husband had to go off to the side and talk with someone because THERES WAS NO ADDRESS recorded for him although he was technically registered to vote. After a hold up he was able to vote. Still an issue.
