This does nothing to lower energy prices. It only gives more power to a Canadian corporation. michiganadvance.com/briefs/trump...

Thank you to everyone who joined us last weekend to say

❌ NO to invasive AI data centers
❌ NO to the corporate money in politics that got MI into this mess
✅ YES to fighting for our communities against corporate greed, and
✅ YES to getting @michiganmop.bsky.social on the ballot!

❤️💧
