This is a false dichotomy. Every gallon of drinking water used to cool a data center is a gallon taken from a community that relies on it. Water is already scarce in so many parts of the country, which means that any added demand is an actual stress on the water supply.

Trump & ICE have done this to 25,000 people & counting. The government is abducting our neighbors and disappearing them to places with abhorrent human rights records. Often, they’re stranded there without money or identity papers. These aren’t deportations - they’re renditions.
