And another important story from @jwashing.bsky.social reveals that county supervisors rejected efforts (3-2) to weigh the health and water impacts of Project Blue, a last-ditch effort to conduct more oversight of the proposed massive data center.

This is the first time volunteers have witnessed agents enter structures on the property without a federal search warrant, marking a new escalation for the agency.

Tucson’s city attorney has filed a request to intervene at the Arizona Corporation Commission to protect TEP customers. We’ll be at the ACC meeting Wednesday morning to tell them to vote no on the deal. We’ll also be at the Pima County Board of Supervisors to tell them we expect them to act too.

Yum. Nothing beats a sweet crisp WA apple, unless it's a hot juicy apple pie. Let's give a shout out to "Casimiro" and his co-workers who are harvesting apples in Sunnyside WA. #WeFeedYou

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.

Without farmworkers we wouldn’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving. Be thankful for their hard work this holiday season!

Sin los trabajadores agrícolas no podríamos celebrar el Día de Acción de Gracias. ¡Agradece su arduo trabajo en estas fiestas!

Mind if we get a little sappy for a sec? Thank you. 🥰

Last weekend, one of our bloc members put on a benefit show to help two of their trans friends escape eviction. This event was MASKS REQUIRED, was an absolute blast, and raised $825!

Today's Trans Day of Remembrance memorials is how I learned about Allyson's passing. We met during the post-Roe protests after some militia freaks were waving their guns at us.

She was an important voice amongst activists and spoke at the March for Trans Justice in Phoenix. Gone too soon, RIP.
[23] Allyson Ketchum died by suicide in Mesa, Arizona (USA) on 22 Oct 2024.

She was 29, and had been one of the first US infantry soldiers to transition, but subsequently left the army to become a student journalist. #SayHerName #TransLivesMatter #TDoR

I am begging the mainstream media to talk less about the East Wing & more about the loss of SNAP funding for the next few days.

The East Wing is gone. We can’t change that.

We *can* help people prepare for the loss of SNAP.

We can urge folks to donate to food banks.

We can give them warning.

If the impending freeze of SNAP benefits is what has you particularly animated, these questions might help. You can really substitute any issue and ask the same questions of yourself.
4 grounding questions [if useful at this moment]:

1. What resources exist so I can better educate myself [about x issue]?
2. Who's already doing work around this injustice?
3. Do I have the capacity to offer concrete support & help to them?
4. How can I be constructive?
