We're fighting to stop the development of a heat-generating, water-guzzling, energy-draining hyperscale data center in the Sonoran Desert! We're a leaderful coalition of people based in Southern Arizona. Join us! https://tinyurl.com/nddcjoinus
When we oppose hyperscale data centers in our communities, we protect the water, we protect the land, we keep our bills from going up more than they already do, AND we stop the cruelty industry from expanding its infrastructure. #ICEout #NoTechForICE 📷: @bluerobedcrone.bsky.social

Power goes out in San Francisco and the robot cars, needing the lights to "self" drive, all stop at once, blocking streets and emergency vehicles - which are needed more than ever in a black out!

Waymo has halted service in San Francisco after numerous videos & images showed its autonomous cars snarling traffic during the blackout.
With traffic lights down, Waymos across the city stopped dead in their tracks at intersections.
