It's hard to find things to be positive about lately, but this is why I'm proud of my local folks coming together to speak up and put a wrench in the works for developers hoping to exploit our community- And more importantly our local officials for actually listening:

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

Why Are Plans for This Alabama Data Center So Hush-Hush?

Officials in Bessemer, Alabama, are mum on Project Marvel, a proposed data center the size of 18 Walmart Supercenters.

Beyond advocating, maybe get off your asses and show us how it's done. Stop lecturing people in motion about how to avoid outcomes that they unleash on us NO MATTER WHAT WE DO.

Advocate for the tactics you believe are powerful and effective—we probably agree about those. But stop preemptively scapegoating the same people that Trump scapegoats for his fascist violence. Only this administration is to blame for its violence. It was already planned.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

As the pressure continues to build, some people who call themselves allies, will wilt. Try not to be sad. Tolerating people is not allyship. If you are only an ally when you are being praised, but go full bigot when questioned, we know what you are. It's what you believe when no one is around.

I don’t really understand the people who think we shouldn’t situate the current moment in context of the last 25 years in American politics, including the actions of the three Democrats who were president during that time
