Someone brought a guillotine to a city council meeting in Salem, Oregon on July 27, 2026. Not a sign shaped like one. Not a drawing. An actual guillotine structure appeared at the protest to oppose a proposed multi-billion-dollar AI data center. Company reps reportedly left, citing safety concerns.

But that was before it began unraveling this week. https://cnn.it/4w5VUZk
