In a fight between Pritzker and and police, who is going to win? This is what happens when both parties allowed law enforcement to become one of the most powerful political actors in the country -- a taxpayer-funded political movement that wants to kill people.

Nbd It's just 528 megawatts is basically a good sized power plant for like u know to power a whole region but Google wants it just for them & for the power to be fueled by motherfucking diesel when they knowingly blackout the local power grid for the people who live downwind of it like me & my kids

Erin Fogg says Free Link @criminalerin.bsky.social · 22d

I mean the state said Google could destroy 2 acres of formerly protected wetlands for its terrible data center like a month ago but sure yeah I totally believe the state will say they can't smoke us out with diesel whenever they blow the local power grid like they clearly intend deliberately to do

The proposal requests 179 generators onsite that will create about 528 megawatts of power, along with 179 storage tanks that will hold 1,074,000 gallons of diesel fuel.

The original request, approved in 2024, was for 36 generators and 36 tanks, which hold 6,000 gallons each of diesel fuel.

It's the Anakin Padme meme. Anakin is now a smoke detector saying I don't have enough energy to tell u if there's a fire. Padme happily asks So u don't have enough energy to make a shill loud beep every minute for years? Then she looks worried, and asks again: U don't have the energy to make a shill loud beep every minute for years, right? To which Anakin the smoke detector replies BEEP

I should add the most interesting part - the township was surprised that a couple hundred people showed up. They didn’t anticipate so much public interest in a mystery company building a seven story building on a 1,000 acre compound right in the middle of farm land.
