New York votes socialism.
London votes socialism.
Amsterdam votes socialism.
Paris votes socialism.
Chicago votes socialism.
Milan votes socialism.

All the capitals of capitalism are voting for socialism.

There’s a hint here somewhere.

Hanover County supervisors voted the other night against protecting the county from harmful data centers, approving the Mountain Road data center project by a 6-1 margin. Once again forcing residents to shoulder the costs of developments that harm the environment and contribute to climate change

Always remember that when anyone claims something will be "good for the economy”, they’re not talking about the working class. They’re talking about CEOs and Wall Street. Data centers hike energy bills, increase air and water pollution, and destroy critical habitats and ecosystems.

Disappointing that the Richmond Times-Dispatch doesn’t even bother to fact check guest columns before allowing them to be published. The data center industry is in full panic mode and flooding the paper with bald-faced lies about supposed benefits to the economy from their polluting data centers

Collective bargaining never harmed the economy, and it’s absurd to think that collective bargaining will harm public safety. Everyone wins when people can advocate for themselves for better pay and working conditions bsky.app/profile/rich...

#NoKings protest next Saturday at Monroe Park! #RVA

This week’s calendar of events! #RVA

No one is coming to save us. WE have to save us.

Note that #abolition is not something even on Democrats’ radar, or even sentencing reform. No, it’s “we don’t have enough officers to keep people locked up.”

#NoWar 🚫 End American imperialism

People are struggling to afford housing, afford food, afford health insurance and this regime is instead taking us headlong into an illegal, immoral, unjustified war with Iran. Trump cares nothing for anyone outside his circle of wealthy elites. #NoWarWithIran

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Shame on @vademocrats.bsky.social for caving to data center and fossil fuel companies. Once again, the two party duopoly fails it's citizens. #Virginia #NoDataCenters

Those TV ads from Facebook about how great data centers are is related to this phenomenon.

Important #RVA school board meeting coming up that we need folks to show up for! We need RPS to condemn I.C.E. and protect our immigrant families! Tuesday, 2/3 at 6pm at City Hall. #RVA

If we block them, we are arguably avoiding not one but two disgusting turns of events

Lot of opportunities coming up in February to oppose the data center epidemic! #NoDataCenters #RVA #Virginia

We did it! The owner of the property that was going to be sold to I.C.E. for their inhumane detention facility has CANCELED the sale! #RVA

No funding for a secret police force! #AbolishICE

Plans for Hanover data centers withdrawn The plan called for building multiple data centers near the Goochland County line.

The Hanover board unanimously opposes the sale of the warehouse to DHS, but does not have the power to veto it. So, the fight is not over.

Reminder! Protest/rally today at 5:30 at the Hanover County government complex off Route 301 to hammer home the message that we don’t want I.C.E. in our communities! ICE wants to build a detention facility in Hanover near Bass Pro Shops. #ICEOut #AbolishICE #RVA #Virginia

Housing should be free
Free/fully subsidized healthcare & childcare
Libraries and lots of 'em
Public utilities but like really public
Climate-resilient adaptation & construction would be nice

Ditch your Ring cameras (Amazon funnels the data to ICE and DHS), cancel Amazon Prime; research companies before you use their products. An educated public is an armed public.
