For my audio book readers... my spooky season book recommendation is The Trees by #PercivalEverett I might change my mind when I finish but at the moment I am locked in.

In Money, Mississippi, a white man called Junior Junior is found dead in his own home with the body of an unknown Black man beside him. When the bodies are taken to the morgue, it is soon discovered that the body of the unknown Black man has disappeared. The body is found again in the home of Junior Junior's cousin, Wheat, who has also been murdered. Shortly after, the body of the Black man disappears again

“I think one of the reasons why people are not trusting the party is because we sound so academic,” she said. “We sound focus group tested, we sound poll tested because we’re worried about saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing and not just like, just stand on business, like take a position.”

We didn't always have ICE www.lawandsecurity.org/immigration-...

Congress passed the Homeland Security Act in the wake of 9/11, producing what official accounts call the single‑largest federal reorganization since the Defense Department; that law dismantled the former Immigration and Naturalization Service and U.S. Customs Service and parceled their functions into new DHS components, creating ICE to take on investigative and interior enforcement responsibilities

Setting the scene. Data centers are a legit wedge issue that unites everyone and wouldn't you know there's a poll for that and "do you feel heard by your elected officials?" You see the weave I'm weaving? People don't feel heard about this big thing and we should advocate for community power.

Setting the stage that hyperscale data centers are an environmental threat and dominated by NDAs. Concentration of heavy industry and data centers are usually in historically and systemically disadvantaged communities (read Black neighborhoods) and in Louisiana the result of this has been the creation of cancer alley.

Quotes from real people impacted by data centers about how they felt voiceless, a lawsuit about the NDA in Shreveport, and how the NDA obscured public comment and notice in Shreveport. Also an investigation in Virginia how the hum/ buzz from the data center is impacting not only people but animals. Think about it, if we kill the bees, there won't be any more produce to worry about parasite contamination.

Data centers are a legit wedge issue that unites everyone, I mean everyone. And wouldn't you know there's a poll for that and also "do you feel heard by your elected officials?" You see the weave I'm weaving? People don't feel heard about this big thing and we should advocate for community power. Look what happens when we do, communities with opportunity to weigh in can stop projects dead. Shout out Kathy Hochul for the executive order for a moratorium.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/03/california-monterey-park-datacenters-ban
Monterey Park gave their citizens a voice and they voted on their June 2026 ballot to out right ban data centers.

Michele @geauxwithmichele.com · 31/07/2026

Update 🫠 they ruled the data center resolution out of order because 🤷🏽‍♀️ I asked for specific issues/ concerns from the staffer who never got back to me. My assumption this time since I didn't advocate for a moratorium is because I talked about the NDAs that steal the opportunity of community input.

11pm email saying the data center resolution won't be included in the packet.

In reflection I think there's about 400k billable hours across all trades on this renovation that I have to keep track of for reporting (I think I heavily downplay how busy I am). Not the point. The point being, this is the behind the scenes shenanigans built to waste your time. I don't have much to waste and simply asked for specifics so I could prepare for a meaningful conversation. If it was a question of intent I would have sent the news articles but no policy position was advocated for other than putting people first.

I'll do you one better. After Robinson was argued and the 5-1 map was blocked June 2022 by a federal court they had an election (Jungle primary) using the same 5-1 map Nov 2022. The forced redraw which gave the 4-2 map was after Jeff Landry was governor AND a Republican super majority legislature.
