The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

Ohio’s state sales tax exemption for data centers cost $1.6 BILLION in 2025 — 11x more than its original estimate. That’s $1.6 billion that could have gone to public schools and healthcare instead of Big Tech CEOs’ pockets. Is it any wonder communities are organizing against data centers?

This Day in Labor History: May 17, 1933. Rep. Robert Houghton, a North Carolina Democrat, introduced H.R. 5755 into the House. This would become the National Industrial Recovery Act, the first comprehensive attempt to fix the economy of the Great Depression through national planning!

I built a successful business in Seattle, and it was only possible in a place like this, full of smart people doing innovative work. Unfortunately for Starbucks, customers aren't buying, so they are looking for ways to extract profits from their workforce. A predictable stage of corporate decline.

Residents in Fayette County, Georgia noticed their water pressure was unusually low. Turns out that a data center 20 miles away had been drawing 30 million gallons of water in secret through connections the county didn't know existed. Is it any wonder why so many are opposed to data centers?

Those who judge in a highercsene of self than the rest of us this message is for all who forget to remember we all bleed the same color. #JustLoveMore

Alex Lawson: Let's remind ourselves WHY they cut $1 trillion out of Medicaid. Why 56K people are going to die every year.
