Arizona, we need your help! Tomorrow is the last day to submit public comments to the Arizona Corporation Commission before against the deal between TEP and Beale to build a hyperscale data center (Project Blue) east of Tucson. We have a guide on our website on what to say. nodesertdatacenter.com
Our privately owned electric utility, TEP, and a developer, Beale Infrastructure, disregarded overwhelming community opposition for a proposed hyperscale data center east of Tucson. TEP has a proposal with the Arizona Corporation Commission that they'll vote on next week. Here's what you can do.

with grief, not knowing
what to say, how it feels.

experiencing that grief myself”

Inclusivity is key to democracy. This means equal voting rights in our politics, but it can't end there. The economy also affects us in many ways.

What does inclusivity mean in the context of economics? It means inclusivity in ownership, the vehicle of economic power. It means worker ownership.

In Arizona, voters chose community organizer Miranda Schubert to represent Ward 6 on the Tucson City Council, according to unofficial results.
DSA support helped progressive Schubert win Tucson City Council seat
The democratic socialist’s policy positions could shift the balance of high-profile council debates.

In his debut poetry collection, Borderlings, McSpadden uses his poetry to express witnessing militarization at the border wall and the effects it has on the Sonoran desert's ecology. 🌵🐌

A snap from a pro dev writing session I facilitated with Tucson arts teachers last week — staying connected with our creativity and purpose so as to help our students find theirs.

I love this work.

Definitely one of the most ridiculously dangerous crosswalks in town. I was heartbroken to hear that one of my former students was one of the victims.

I just want to know how much longer this money laundering ponzi scheme that will ruin the water supply is going to run. Can we wrap it up yet?
"OpenAI has announced that it intends to build at least 30 gigawatts’ worth of data centers—more power than all of New England requires on even the hottest day—and CEO Sam Altman has said he’d eventually like to build a gigawatt of AI infrastructure every week."

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
