Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans.
Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills.
Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

Great in-depth discussion on how to support democracy while the far right is creeping closer to power. Main takeway: promote a return to 'thicker' description of democracy, which goes beyond thinking of democracy as delivery mechanism for gov, but involves rights, participation, strong courts etc.
