Come say hi to us this Saturday at the volunteer fair in Ypsi!! 1-5 pm @ 16 S. Washington!

Wonder why AI heads want a data center here to help with nuclear weapon research 🙄.

Especially in light of the trump admin's latest actions we have to remain clear eyed about the connections btwn imperialism, immigration, and information technology.

NO MORE WAR, NO MORE DEPORTATIONS, NO MORE DATA!

This is what @umich.edu is trying to support by building a data center in collab with Los Alamos National Labs. @stopthedata.bsky.social is doing admirable work to stop it.

Anti AI show on 3/28 @ 984 E. Michigan Ave. $10 cover, 7pm start time. Featuring: Alex Deamson Insane-o-style Simulation Chemical Hill

We were sent this rad anti AI solidarity show!! Check it out!!

Graphic showing 1 billion dollars takes up 2 by 2 by 5 meters in hundred dollar bills

Graphic showing different investments. ISS: 150 billion Apollo: 250 billion Original interstate construction: 620 billion Total AI investment: 1.6 trillion

The US is spending more than the rest of the world combined on AI.

Ai spending is forecasted at 2.5 trillion in 2026.

Thank you @aljazeera.com for the wonderful graphics showing the excess of AI spending visually. Also interesting is that the US is spending 471 billion, roughly 4 times as much as China, in second place at 119 billion.

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!!!

Southeast Michiganders fight AI data centers — Groundcover News Mike Jones, Groundcover vendor No. 113 Data centers are dedicated computing facilities housing infrastructure for vast amounts of data and they are being built all over America. Southeast Michigan i...

Great read from Groundcover:

"Residents in Washtenaw County are expressing their concerns over the University of Michigan trying to force their plan to construct a $1.2 billion data center in Ypsilanti Township... This project is partially paid for with our tax dollars and without our say!"

Stop the data center flyer. Report back on resistance to a Los Alamos backed military AI data center. 2pm, Sun Jan 18th Long Haul Info Shop 3124 Shattuck Ave, Oakland, CA

For folks on the West Coast, we're in the bay! Come through to learn about the work we've been doing!

The people willing to destroy our town with an AI War research center are the same people willing to extrajudicially shoot protestors or lay siege to one of our neighbors for 30+ hours as he suffers a mental health crisis. If we want to beat this data center, we must love one another enough to be against state, imperialist ,and genocidal violence of all kinds, and find any way to resist it we can!!

Abolish ICE, defund the police, UM out of Ypsi, US out of everywhere!!!

Seems that a spot on the YCUA board might be opening up 👀👀! Interested?? Let us know!

Flyer with stop the data meeting information listed. See post for more details.

Come out to our next few monthly meetings to learn how to plug in to our campaign!

Also you don't need the university to hold your hand to hear from us.

Are we meant to believe that the state legislature has no authority over UM and what gets built in our state? Why vote for you (or at all) if governance is this embarrassing and cowardly.

Unless you actually *believe* what they say about security, in which case we'd be happy to refresh you on basic object permanence and/or sell you a data center.

(Whoops they already did lmao @jeffmirwin.bsky.social 🤣)

You don't get to support the reproduction of American empire through "national security" and criticize Republicans about it.

Embarrassing takes from State senator Jeff Irwin. "Uhh other bad things are happening so we should worry about $1.2billion of nuclear warfare in our backyard." LANL is literally calling this "the new Manhattan Project" It's a big deal and bad news for our community and communities all over the world

The UM/Los Alamos data center in Ypsilanti will most likely be used to continue these forever wars. We have to assume it will due to the classified nature of the that facility. Opposition to the data center in your district is opposition to unchecked militarism.

Our struggle against LANL is against this newest, imperialist bullshit too!

No war! and invites This week there are a couple of cozy events to stop the Los Alamos Data center!

New post including analysis on Venezuela/imperialism/Los Alamos
