New post on our substack! Look there for our long form thoughts. open.substack.com/pub/stopthed...

Come say hi to us this Saturday at the volunteer fair in Ypsi!! 1-5 pm @ 16 S. Washington!

Wonder why AI heads want a data center here to help with nuclear weapon research 🙄. Especially in light of the trump admin's latest actions we have to remain clear eyed about the connections btwn imperialism, immigration, and information technology. NO MORE WAR, NO MORE DEPORTATIONS, NO MORE DATA!

This is what @umich.edu is trying to support by building a data center in collab with Los Alamos National Labs. @stopthedata.bsky.social is doing admirable work to stop it.

We were sent this rad anti AI solidarity show!! Check it out!!

Thank you @aljazeera.com for the wonderful graphics showing the excess of AI spending visually. Also interesting is that the US is spending 471 billion, roughly 4 times as much as China, in second place at 119 billion.

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!!!

Great read from Groundcover: "Residents in Washtenaw County are expressing their concerns over the University of Michigan trying to force their plan to construct a $1.2 billion data center in Ypsilanti Township... This project is partially paid for with our tax dollars and without our say!"

Assembly meeting Sunday Feb 22nd 2-4pm at growing hope. It's time to invite your friends

Tomorrow!!! Postcards for peace!! Come write to people with power over the data center!

Reminder that you can't be against data centers without being in solidarity with migrants. All our love to everyone fighting to protect their neighbors from all of the existential threats today. We win together 💪💪💪

Premium: The AI Bubble is a time bomb, burdening hyperscalers with billions of new depreciation a quarter that will soon eat away profits, VCs with dead equity in fallen AI startups, and Oracle with hundreds of billions of unpayable leases. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-timebomb/

Reminder to come thru and plug in!!

For folks on the West Coast, we're in the bay! Come through to learn about the work we've been doing!

Abolish ICE, defund the police, UM out of Ypsi, US out of everywhere!!!

Seems that a spot on the YCUA board might be opening up 👀👀! Interested?? Let us know!

Come out to our next few monthly meetings to learn how to plug in to our campaign! Sat Jan 31 Sun Feb 22 16 S Washington St. 2pm food + intro 3pm working groups Accessible parking and bathrooms Food and childcare provided Masks encouraged NOTE: there is a camera present in the space

Embarrassing takes from State senator Jeff Irwin. "Uhh other bad things are happening so we should worry about $1.2billion of nuclear warfare in our backyard." LANL is literally calling this "the new Manhattan Project" It's a big deal and bad news for our community and communities all over the world

The UM/Los Alamos data center in Ypsilanti will most likely be used to continue these forever wars. We have to assume it will due to the classified nature of the that facility. Opposition to the data center in your district is opposition to unchecked militarism.

New post including analysis on Venezuela/imperialism/Los Alamos substack.com/@stopthedata...

Are you a UM student or worker? DEMAND a better world!! We will not be the war machine!! Sign the petition @ bit.ly/UMNoDataCenterPetition

Big news for Saline!! We need to keep up public pressure to completely kill the ex parte application! See below!

Claiming the excess heat from data centers makes sewage treatment a lot easier is a lot like justifying murder because the gun makes a good hand warmer after you shoot it

Raise your voice against the Los Alamos Data Center planned for Ypsilanti! actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

@404media.co "I think about the impact of introducing nuclear technology to the world and deploying it on civilians..the impact on the well-being of my family from living next to a nuclear test site and the spiritual impact that it had on my family for generations..we dont need more nuclear weapons”

Fresh article from the daily covering our community meeting this past weekend! www.michigandaily.com/news/ann-arb...

Here's how you can help stop DTE's fast track data center deal!!

Our takeaway is that data centers exist in the context of their environments and exacerbate existing utility and pollution concerns. What does that mean for us? Longer blackouts after a strong gust of wind? Higher concentrations of pfas? Who knows! It's all under an NDA 🫠🫠🫠

Here's how you can help stop DTE's fast track data center deal!!

Tomorrowwwww!!!!

Let's remember trans folks 365 days of the year 💖 xtramagazine.com/power/activi...

It's really easy to get dunks in with the current news, but don't lose track of what's at stake in your struggle. For us, it's not just our land, water, and health. It's also our ability to live in a world that prevents genocide and war instead of enabling it through automation.

Premium: This is Vol 2 of the Hater's Guide To The AI Bubble, an 18k word guide to the major public/private players in AI, with bits on why ads won't save OpenAI, why vibe coding is a scam, and how we must hold every booster accountable once the bubble bursts. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-...

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50. I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman. #GiftLink wapo.st/49WOdx1

If you're excited about low stakes ways to get our voices heard, be on the lookout for our Postcards for Peace events!!! At our first, we had a lovely time writing 350 very patient and kind letters. (And if you're excited about early onset arthritis pls help us stamp these oh no)

Ch3 ends with environmental impact of data centers, and I MUST mention the efforts to stop the UM data center, which led to @ali-alkhatib.com book club, which led to convo where I learned about Williams' book! A great pause point for the night; check out their work: @stopthedata.bsky.social

Check out this great coverage of what we're up against by Elena Nicholson!! www.michigandaily.com/opinion/colu...

Thank you for the wonderful coverage of our uphill struggle! Of note is the exemption from municipal law that UM holds in the state constitution, making this data center extra tough to resist. Come to our next gathering or reach out to learn more about plugging in so we can unplug this monster!!!
