The Memphis City Council failed the people in delaying the data center moratorium vote. But we are not deterred. The fight for clean air continues. Big money has no place in politics. I’m running for Congress to level the playing field & stop toxic data centers nationwide. Votejustinj.com

If you think Trump’s “musings” and “jokes” are not worth headlines, no matter how shocking or offensive they may be, then you haven’t been paying attention. The past decade and past week show they're too dangerous too ignore. My new piece at @contrariannews.org www.contrariannews.org/p/dont-dismi...

Don’t Dismiss Trump’s Los Angeles-San Diego Comment as a ‘Joke’
No normal American would say those words. A president shouldn’t even think them.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report

Vote Early, but vote early in person or via drop box if you can. You can still vote by mail but try to get your ballot in as early as you can. Day 1 is best for all forms of voting - in person, drop box, mail. It makes it harder for them to cheat or disrupt the election.
