Winter is winding down with an intense heat wave in Southern California. It's 97 degrees F. this afternoon in the western San Gabriel Valley! Feels like we are skipping Spring and jumping into summer.

LA Public Press: A #dataCenter boom is coming to the #SanGabrielValley. Residents had no idea

#LosAngelesCounty residents are being blindsided by proposals that may drain massive amounts of electricity and water. In #MontereyPark, a single facility would use more power than the entire city.

Waking up to more of the worst news again is lighting a fire under my arse. Now that I’ve finished my dissertation I have time to dedicate to #activism and #communityBuilding. Folks in #SanGabrielValley #LosAngeles - if you know of existing groups/actions that are looking for people drop them below. If you are feeling similarly motivated but don’t know what to do feel free to DM me. Im thinking of setting up a signal chat to start a local #AffinityGroup

California owns dozens of vacant houses in Los Angeles County. It's paying millions to guard them from protesters.

The California Department of Transportation has spent more than $17 million since 2020 to guard the homes, which it purchased to make way for a freeway that was never completed.
