Louisiana has to build three new natural gas power plants to accommodate the "AI" data center that Meta just crammed through because said center will use *Three Times* as much electricity (and, thus, attendant resources) as the *Entire City Of New Orleans*, every year.
Y'all this isn't sustainable.
Looking forward to this conversation with @cameronrussell.bsky.social on May 27. If you’re in the Boston area, please join us — and spread the word!

So ICE has effectively disappeared a student for protesting Israel's genocide, separating him from his 8 month pregnant wife. Pure fascism
an honor to present with @taomeitao.bsky.social and Marcelina Bautista our show The Art of Care this Saturday CMDX (13:00 -22:00) but our exhibit tour and talk is 16:30 - 17:20 as part of the feminist Decididas festival (tkts www.decididas.com)
In an act of astounding moral cowardice, 19 Senate Democrats joined Republicans to back the racist, climate-denier, mass-deporter Brooke Rollins as Secretary of Agriculture. Vote 72-28.
Incompatible with the claim that they're making the government more efficient, not that that was a credible goal.
“Dread consumes us as we ruminate on the intentions of people and state actors that seem utterly out of our control.
But many things remain firmly within our grasp, and our insurgent dreams are chief among them. “ inthesetimes.com/article/trum...

The Musk coup is at five alarm fire. I just received this text from a friend:

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.
Feb 9th 3-4PM @taomeitao.bsky.social and I are hosting a closing reception for The Art of Care. We'll share tea, cookies, exhibition zines, and couple ways, big and small, that people in our community are stretching to care for each other right now. RSVP: www.eventbrite.com/e/the-art-of...
This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility
So looking forward to this
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
If you can go, go. 5pm today. Last night's cutoff of federal funding by 47 doesn't just mess with the recipients, it violates the Constitution and seizes powers that belong to Congress. It's a dictatorial attempt at consolidation of power in the presidency.

Well, here's a pic of a standing-room-only meeting yesterday of Chicagoans taking in detailed instructions to document and respond to ICE raids, and a magnificent speech by Alder Andre Vasquez one how to listen to our neighbors who voted for Trump, honoring the anxieties that got them there.
Do not even try to fuck with Chicago's 40th Ward, ICE. We show up.
“the ultimate claustrophobia is “it all adds up”
Learning from those whose practice of caregiving is an art, whose creativity and rigor sustains generations & communities, met a deep yearning @taomeitao.bsky.social & I have ourselves to figure out how to move through this time.

And it's why Christy Turlington wrote, "Cameron Russell doesn’t just hold the door open for more voices from within fashion, she makes a compelling argument as to why they must be heard.”
