This is an excellent time to be fighting for better. So many places where you can ACT and be constructive. Let the side that you choose to fight against feel "the stubborn ounces of [your] weight." Onwards!

In the 1990s, West Virginia passed a law requiring local approval for large landfills, giving communities a voice in their future. Now, residents facing data center developments are looking to that same history for a template on how to regain local control.

I wrote about the Prairieland defendants and the urgency of opposing the extreme sentences handed down on Tuesday. And they likely will not be the last.

Climate.us is officially live! After NOAA ended Climate.gov’s day-to-day operations in 2025, former team members built Climate.us to carry that work forward. Their explanations and graphics have always stood out to me as clear, accessible, and transparent. I’m really looking forward to this reboot.

30, 50, 70, and 100-year sentences for the Prairieland defendants so far. Dark day, man. Truly.

It’s worth noting that Spanberger justifies keeping the data center tax break by an appeal to “keeping one’s word,” but has no problem breaking her commitment to support the expansion collective bargaining

The real time effects of climate breakdown are already here. The water will never be the same in years ahead based on what we’ve done to the planet and it’s earth systems…unreal to think we’re going to put even more stress on our water with all the data centers around here. ☠️

Popcorn's on me. 🍿

I talked to Chris Begley and Amy Edelman about their book, The Emergency Playbook: A Bunker-Free Guide to Disaster Preparation. I believe disaster preparedness can help our movements become larger, stronger & more capable of facing not only climate disasters, but fascist threats as well. Here’s how.

"It’s not going to be easy or fast, but you can grow what you want over time. And if you have that desire, the opportunities here are as endless as they are in the rest of the world."

hey so a bunch of my friends are buried at Arlington and I'd appreciate it if you could send in a public comment using this link, and make sure NPS doesn't desecrate their resting place.

All the way to Wisconsin. On the tractor?

Does anyone live near a data center in Virginia? I’m going to start collecting audio from really noisy sites this summer. Get in touch!

In a new collaboration with PBS, we investigated one of the world’s largest AI data centers, using thermal drone footage to reveal the hidden pollution powering the AI boom.

The "climate desk" should be at the top of any news organization chart, not an appendage to be chopped as soon as budgets get tight.

This is worse than ordinary SLAPP. This is SLAPP slop. The VetBro grift ran dry so they hopped on the grievance train.

LMAO

Great piece on how data centers and AI are the next phase of the fight for a livable climate, though I think it’s a little naive to think that these corporations will be moving to renewables anytime soon while their energy needs are being filled by new fracked gas pipelines like MVP.

Great WaPo article on the **10,000** huge diesel generators at Virginia's data centers permitted to emit 13,000 tons of NOx. The article is based on data crunched here at Sierra Club (1/9) @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Governor Patrick Morrisey of West Virginia has aligned himself with the Heartland Foundation and openly embraced climate change denial. Ignoring man's impact on the environment is intolerable in a state where the water is poison. (PS We badly need tips) medium.com/@kidether/an... #Appalachia

We were right, and we won! For now. Check out the history lesson on the #ICEOut campaign we've been fighting on since January, and why we don't comply with #FossilFueledFascism in advance! Learn more and take action with us at 198methods.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDDK...

We are back again to talk with you about the connections between the gas build out and data centers and how communities are resisting them. Learn from organizers, activists and community members about whats happening and how you can get involved. Register here! us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

the billionaires are openly declaring war on everyone and in a lot of people's heads it's still about how some other group's existence is boutique and entitled and their pain is not real while your group's pain is the one true reality. we need to kill this shit across the board.

Cool. Maybe you can hire someone to tell you not to do this kind of shit. www.huffpost.com/entry/8-demo...

I am relieved to be exonerated today, but I want to state clearly that fighting these unjust federal charges over the past seven months was never just about me or my co-defendants in this case. (1/8)

"Court records obtained by the EFF and reported by 404 Media last year revealed that a Texas sheriff’s deputy has queried Flock’s nationwide network—roughly 88,000 cameras at the time—to track a woman because, he wrote, she 'had an abortion.'"

STOP MVP BOOST community info session tonight. The fracked methane gas flowing through MVP is used to power data centers and build bombs. Taking action against fossil fuel infrastructure is one of the ways we can slow the fascist machinery building in America rn. Link below. @powhr.org
