So true! Excellent request to rehear the ACC's decision #81587, TEP and Beale’s plan to audaciously steal Southern Arizona, Tucson & Marana resources and way of life using (our) the ratepayer’s money. Desert data is corrupt 🚫 #projectblue

Wow! These Marana planning commissioners have ZERO morals ignoring folks. Just like Pima Co. supervisors Scott, Heinz & Christy & the Chambers of Commerce (call them). Good grief, you think tourism and small business revenues are down now, b/c of tariffs? Wait 'til data centers cause a mass exodus🔥

The plan to gut National Parks for profit is before congress again (remember the one supported by Gallego?)😵‍💫along with the SPEED act. Montana's fighting against these data center thieves. Sadly not AZ, where Tucson and Pima allowed the ACC to throw ratepayers under the bus 🤑 meic.org/press-releas...

Let’s be honest. He doesn’t care one whit about climate change. Why? He voted to put Tucson and Marana at the forefront: squandering our dwindling resources, raising electric rates and polluting our air & water + the noise, light, and dust pollution-by ramming MASSIVE data centers through. FOR WHO?

The DNC announced that it will not release its internal autopsy of the 2024 election (and what went wrong). Well, I have some thoughts. If Democrats ever want to take America back from Trump and his cronies, here are eight things they must do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzc57eD3cWI

Passing the SPEED Act is a holiday gift to the oil and gas industry. Everyone should oppose attempts to block the public from holding polluters or the government accountable when they ignore the law: www.selc.org/press-releas...

Tucson, Marana, Pima County, Arizona. For people thinking (buying in) that Data Centers will give them a few bucks or jobs, this is a good listen arguing that you are very, very wrong. Besides draining our water and polluting our environment, data centers are horrible for children and their future.

And still more bad news for Tucson and Marana citizens and environments, where data centers are being pushed through without oversight by local officials. As if dirty power, air, and water weren’t bad enough, now data center pollution could well be a forever legacy we leave our children:

Yes, Tucson and Marana! Who the heck needs Christmas trees, or saguaros, when you can have a data center instead? 🌵We all must make sacrifices for AI and billionaire profits, right Rex Scott @pimacounty-d1.bsky.social?

When democrats were in power, it was all about Republicans screaming, “State’s rights, State’s rights” Now…it’s pretty much screw State's, or anyone else’s, “rights." Things are becoming totally, griftingly, lawless.

Doin’ our best in Tucson, Senator, but we have Ds on the County Board of Supervisors who don’t seem to get it.

This affects everyone south of Phoenix! Stop these rogue commissioners from stealing our electrical rates and our future for their own personal agendas!

Who’s leading this rudderless, polluting ship here in Tucson & Marana? No one is saying. Yet. ELECTED officials: Rex Scott, Matt Heinz & Steve Christy are happy to help, pushing this deal. Then will watch us jump like rats off a sinking ship as they kill the Sonoran desert with their big, ugly plan.

“This is a defining moment for politicians of all stripes — what’s your answer to lowering utility bills?…" Here in Tucson, and Arizona, our politicians answer to constituents on affordability, water and livable environment is, basically, ‘tough shit.’ Right, Rex Scott, and self-grifting friends?

Today the ACC decides a TEP/Beale deal that'll drive data center development and affect electric rates all over S.AZ and Tucson. Majority republican ACC members appear poised to move forward w/employees and local Chambers in favor. Like this👇nothing for people or local biz, only $ for TEP & partners

Meanwhile on a local level here in Tucson - Pima Couty Board of Supervisers led by Rex Scott are working fast and furious to decimate our air, water and land, working secretly behind closed doors w/o accountability, probably illegally, rushing Amazon's #projectblue data center. BOS mtg. Tomorrow!

Another classic example of MAGA Republican assholery Nobody does it quite like they do Absolutely vile

We're #20! (Of 23.)

Choices have been tough in Arizona, many states to be fair ☹️ But Kari Lake, Kirsten Sinema, and Ruben Gallego…please 🙏 can someone step up so we have a candidate to chose from who's not craZee, grifting for techbros, and acting like a ten year old?

Only takes a couple minutes 🙂 Instructions here: www.nodesertdatacenter.com

Truly awful what Rex Scott @pimacounty-d1.bsky.social and Pima County have lied about and are acting to do to the people and environment of Tucson and environs. Agreeing secretly, and with no oversight, to sacrifice Tucson's health, resources, and future to TEP & Jeff Bezos is simply monstrous.

Republican Health Care Lingo Every Voter Should Know. Do YOU know what your Republican Member of Congress means when they say things like "high-risk pools?" It means they want to go back to when people with pre-existing conditions like cancer could be denied coverage.

Funny 😂 SO many poets live in Tucson - Phoenix too amazon AI, AWS , Alexa they’re coming for you 🚫 desert data centers 🚫 projectblue

Why are citizens paying the price to build the crypto and AI they didn’t ask for? Tucson? TEP? Yeah, we would much rather have a crypto coin than air to breathe or clean water to drink! What a lovely future Arizona officials are planning for us, all while we are getting hotter and water’s uncertain🥵

"Who wants to live like this?” A mass exodus could happen here too, in S.AZ, Tucson, Marana…between the mines, and the data centers that Rex Scott @ Pima County is pushing with no input or safeguards, no one will trust that it is secure to invest or make a future here. Such corruption🚫Desert Data

Pima County people don’t seem to care who they hurt- they are shortsighted monsters & ACC looks to be positioning to play along. Somehow TEP can double their power for amazon, while we can’t even get a home panel upgrade from them to transition off fossil fuel. TEP is for profit not Tucson’s future❤️‍🔥

💯

None of this today? Beale will reclaim toxic water….blah, blah, blah Beale will use renewables…blah, blah, blah Beale will use their own toxic water…blah, blah, blah Beale will now use paper water…blah, blah, blah, Beale will now use fake energy credits…blah, blah, blah 🚫thieving desert data centers

Sounds about right! THE BUBBLE 🗯️ Why amazon is pushing #projectblue on Pima County and Rex Scott @pimacounty-d1.bsky.social - giving all sorts of ultimatums even though Tucson and CITIZENS have said no. Rex, a tree that can’t bend in the wind is destined to crack and fall, and hurt its neighbors 💢🥵

Data center resistance is just getting started. Tucson doesn't want to be a dumping ground for data center emissions causing health issues, heat waves & drought. We will FIGHT @pimacounty-d1.bsky.social REX SCOTT for selling us out with his secret amazon and wall street deal that robs our future 💢🔥

Used to drink coffee at the original Starbucks in Seattle when working there. Crazy they were bought and turned into basically McDonald’s. Their CEOing grifter, Brian Niccol, makes $96MILLION-a year. And knows NOTHING about coffee 🤣 Sure, I’ll trade convenience for local quality & a living wage☕🤎

93% of US voters, across parties, want clean energy! So WHY is the ACC in AZ trying to REPEAL clean energy standards? Gonna get hot here in Tucson🌶️ Even ChatGPT says DATA CENTERS as being built will destroy us 🤫 Write the ACC as AG Kris Mayes did & include the docket# thirdact.org/arizona/wp-c...

Does A.I. know it's stupid to build data centers? 😂 How ‘bout Pima County & Rex Scott @pimacounty-d1.bsky.social ? Let’s ask: “...tech companies have abandoned their sustainability targets in the race to build out the vast, energy-ravenous, carbon-spewing data centers." 🚫Desert Data 🚫#projectblue

Hard to argue against devastating effects data centers will have around Tucson & S.AZ in particular. But Rex Scott and Pima County continue to champion this bastion of irresponsibility that no one wants or needs…Reject #projectblue 🚫 RATE increases, water shortages, environment & health disasters!

The 20 MILLION people who rely on ACA credits don’t need a show vote in December. They need help now, while they decide whether they can buy insurance & pay the mortgage next year. Being a patsy for Republicans doesn’t burnish your moderate bonafides. It only makes you look stupid & weak!

This COULD be Arizona, instead, the ACC is championing nuclear & dirty methane power plants, miles of transmission lines & neighborhood substations so big tech & corps. make record profits as consumers suffer. Pima County’s #projectblue WILL make things hot, polluted, expensive, & loud in Tucson🥵

Tucson! 👏

Could prove to be apocalyptic for Tucson. Sad Pima County’s willing to destroy our environment, public health, and also raise our electric prices, just to appease wall street and the techbros. Nothing in their secret backdoor deal is good for our future. Beyond reason.

When @alexhanna.bsky.social and I started working on The AI Con, one of our hopes was that it would sit on bookstore shelves and lists of books to read next to all of the ridiculous hype and give people a chance to cut through the noise. thecon.ai 🧵>>

Ha.Ha.Ha. What a tell! A(Corruption)C saying Tucson should mind their own biz, and that TEPs 14% ROI, raising our power bills (again), is all for the little guy 😂 How ‘bout some facts with your fibs? Coops and municipalities provide cheap, reliable electricity. For profits and data centers don’t👎

Yikes Tucson!

I LOVE that this woman in Georgia decided to terrorize her neighbors with the Fall Of Democracy and Trump's Ghouls (in poetic detail) instead of your usual demons and monsters. She said, "It's scary because it's true."

Steve is deep in conversation with some plastic pumpkins. We had better keep out of it. It looks important.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Ha.Ha. This should be the new metaphoric mission statement for Pima County's data center debacle! #projectblue & TEP will tell you,Tucson, when your water is all gone! 💦😂 🐸

Yep. Happening here in Tucson with another 14% increase proposed by TEP, right on the heels of the last one, to make citizens pay to build dirty infrastructure so TEP and techbros can continue to rake in billions. Voting for affordable energy means voting AGAINST GOP candidates 👇

Pima County Supervisors sure buy amazon’s blatant lies and neologisms! Then they regurgitate them back to the public at data center meetings, without a clue of that which they speak. So crAzy 🔥 to support burning down the house, and Tucson, and Marana …. Why 👉 Rex Scott @pimacounty-d1.bsky.social

What’s true for Amazon's true for EVERY employee in Pima County & Tucson that hid for YEARS plans to ring the city with dirty data centers knowing they'd cause irreversible harm. They betrayed the public w projectblue “It doesn’t make you more profitable,” he said. “It makes you less trustworthy.”

Sinema sure does suck. Coming to Tucson soon…let’s adapt to the killing of our environment via data centers, ‘cause. Crypto?
