She knows shit about fucking things up!
#Nanaimo #vancouver #kamloops #merritt: stop the AI surveillance anti-human fascist "data" centres!
Alexa/Siri/etc are all called smart speakers, but they're smart MICROPHONES: data centres are actually destroying water, electricity, safe healthy communities, and low noise and light pollution.

Within a week of launching a self-reporting map, more than 1,600 community reports have been filed regarding data centers, highlighting widespread concern.

Key findings include:
Public Awareness & Transparency: 8% of respondents reported that Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) hid projects from the public until it was too late or secretly made a deal with the company, leaving communities feeling ignored in decision-making processes. This is a recurring pattern: residents learning about projects only after non-disclosure agreements were signed, planning processes conducted "behind closed doors," or local officials prevented from sharing information with constituents.
Project Status: The majority of reports concerned projected or planned AI data centers with a significant number also addressing facilities currently under construction or already operational.
Core Concerns: Recurring complaints focused on higher utility bills, failing infrastructure, extreme noise pollution from generators, potential health impacts, and water shortages/depletion.
Key Trends: The reports indicate that concerns are split between immediate operational issues (noise, water) and long-term infrastructure/transparency issues.
Information is power! Keep reporting and I’ll keep the updates coming.

Any time some fascist in the c/a/n/a/d/a project introduces legislation to nuke the human rights act or other white patriarchy neofeudalism fuckery, remember #mairikkka:
The game plan seems to be:
1. Say you support civil rights.
2. Defund the office that enforces them.
3. Trust that no one is paying close enough attention to notice.

The Machine They Built to Dismantle Public Education
The attacks on public education are not random. This deep dive is in partnership with the Education Law Center. Let's look at the whole picture.
My Mom's cataracts surgeries aren't covered by her Pharmacare because she needs advanced lenses - not covered by #BCgovernment.
The government only covers monofocal intraocular lens - when my Mom requires advanced lenses. Government doesn't cover advanced cataracts lenses.

25% wealth tax/year on families worth > $200m, dropping to 5% when they're down to $78m.
California is pondering a 1-time 5% tax on families worth us$1.1b. 60% of NY residents (not just NYC) favour free, universal childcare until pre-K, with an explicit tax on the rich to fund it.

Monday, May 18 is not Victoria Day. It is the 154th birthday of Welsh, anti-imperialist pacifist, Bertrand Russell. Celebrate wisely.
