A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.
One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.
Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

8 Million protesters yesterday at #NoKings.
No police beaten with flag poles.
No fire extinguishers thrown at other humans.
No vandalism or theft.
No racist flags.
No zip ties.
No death threats.
No pipe bombs.
No poop smeared on walls.
That's what happens when mature, civilized people protest.
To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️
It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings
