Massive crowd today for the first national protest against data centres.
More and more people are realising - we all lose from the government prioritising Big Tech. Higher bills, less homes and deepening climate catastrophe.
No more data centres!

it does seem like a Real Bad Look to immediately turn around and vote for data centers after a big win handed to Democrats by voters who also very clearly expressed "fuck data centers" sentiments.

The people of Amsterdam entered a Microsoft data center on 11/ 6 2026. They were pepper sprayed, arrested and severely beaten.
Once built, the data center will have an electricity demand as big as that of all the households in the city.
Currently Amsterdam is already facing a power shortage.

What an ugly look for Sen Majority Leader @chuckschumer.com & incoming judiciary committee Chair @whitehouse.senate.gov if they set up corporate Dems tonight to help the Republicans advance an big deregulatory bill helping Miller/Trump to build more ICE warehouses & big tech get more data centers.
@earthjustice.org + YouGov with hot-off-the-presses polling. It reinforces the strong, compelling reality that BAAJA is a bad bill that is not landing with the public.
Politicians, pundits, & DC-based media need to listen and not get lulled into ill-considered assumptions.

We built a big fake data center prop and protested with it outside Schumer’s building to say:
No dirty data center deal, Chuck!
He must stop Monday’s vote to advance the big tech “bi-partisan” permitting deal. That’s the Republican’s agenda.
We voted AGAINST data centers not for them!

Just in case you are wondering - Big Tech believes #baaja will accelerate data center buildout ↘️
In case you're wondering how the tech billionaires pushing data centers feel about BAAJA, the draft permitting bill the Senate is discussing, @revolvingdoordc.bsky.social has put together a collection of quotes. TL;DR: Big Tech believes BAAJA would accelerate AI data center buildout.
How BAAJA Would Benefit AI Data Centers, According to the AI Industry And Its Friends | Revolving Door Project
This blog was most recently updated on November 9, 2026. On November 3, voters made it abundantly clear that they reject the inevitability of the tech industry’s rush to build out AI data centers. Doz...

UPDATE: 22 Democrats led by @schumer.senate.gov vote to advance Trump/Republicans' deregulatory bill that will make it easier for Stephen Miller to build more ICE warehouses and Big Tech to build out more data centers.

40 out of 41 state and local measures restricting data centers passed on election night.
The people have issued a resounding rejection of Big Tech's attempt to trample on their communities.
Is it any wonder why?

Why stop at AIPAC? Let’s call out Democrats backed by Big Tech and data-center developers, Big Oil, private prisons, health insurers, defense contractors, and crypto PACs, too. If you want our votes, tell us who’s bankrolling your campaign.

"I think Americans hate data centers not just because they're data centers, but also because they are tangible, touchable representations of the big tech industry that has spent many years abusing their trust and worsening their lives. "
I wrote about how the midterms truly prove how much Americans hate data centers and the big tech and AI companies that fund them.
And how, like the Ancient Mariner, the US tech industry now must wear the rotting, squawking albatross of MAGA around their necks, due to their own stupid actions.

The water usage problems of data centers are no big deal, they said. But in the real world, when you have low water supplies due to climate change and draught, adding supply strains is a big thing, both politically and practically!
Cooking and bathing became difficult when taps ran dry on an Indonesian island where data centers power the global artificial intelligence boom.
Can’t cook or shower: Indonesians take aim at data centers
Frustration is bubbling over in Indonesia and Malaysia — especially in regions bordering Singapore that are seen as a prime location for new tech facilities.
