• @mamasissiesays Casey on bluesky

  The Democratic Party should be shouting this from rooftops, especially given these data centers are mainly housed in rural areas.  —  In totally unsurprising news, child sex trafficking isn't a dealbreaker for Republicans, but AI data centers are—LEAN IN, Dems.  —  news.gallup.co…

  71% of Americans now oppose data centers being built in their area.  —  Nearly half of all Americans (48%) strongly oppose them.  —  And just 7% strongly favor data centers being built in their area, according to new Gallup polling.  —  news.gallup.com/poll/709772/ ...

  “AI infrastructure could become an important campaign issue in local and state elections this year, and politicians who favor data centers in their area are likely taking a politically risky stance.” news.gallup.com/poll/709772/ ...

  Democrats and Republicans agree, they don't want data centers in their communities.  Air, water and land use are huge concerns - 70 percent worry about environmental impacts.  Gift link: www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/ ...

  71% of Americans oppose new AI data centers near them. They're right. So, why has Congress done nothing to address their concerns? Follow the money. Big Tech has spent $300 million on the midterm elections to ensure Congress does nothing to regulate them. End Citizens United.

  Sanders and AOC introduced a bill to pause ALL AI data center construction. 300+ local bills filed. Half of planned 2026 data centers facing delays or cancellation. Each one brings billions to local economies. The people who say they want American jobs are trying to block the [im…

  New polling today from Gallup. 71% of Americans oppose local construction of datacenters. Anti-datacenter sentiment is now so strong that far more people would rather have a nuclear power plant built next to them than a datacenter. [image]

• @rahll Reid Southen on x

  I strongly believe that number would be even higher if people were better informed, but either way, 70% of people don't want data centers near them. That's huge.

• @forhumanitypod John Sherman on x

  It's a hard no. Big tech really thought they could blight America with concrete coffins, whose stated purpose is taking every job, and creating a mass surveillance state, and no one would say anything?!? Even with their secret deals, NDAs, and all the other sketchy tactics,
