$130 billion in #datacenter projects blocked by #protests so far this year

Winning fight against #AIDatacenters gives people a “taste of political power.”

Ashley Belanger – Jun 12, 2026

It’s clear that communities now have an effective playbook to block data center construction. This week, researchers flagged the first quarter of 2026 as producing the 'most blocked and delayed data center projects on record,' NBC News reported.

"#DataCenterWatch, a project from AI intelligence firm 10a Labs that tracks data center fights around the US, reported that protestors 'blocked or delayed at least 75 projects nationwide worth about $130 billion from January through March,' NBC News reported.

"That’s 'the most in a three-month period since the group began tracking in 2023,' and it shouldn’t be parsed as 'a cyclical spike,' the researchers said. Instead, there’s been a 'structural shift,' as 'communities have internalized an opposition playbook, legislative sessions introduced formal regulatory uncertainty, and the number of active opposition groups more than doubled to 833 across 49 states,' researchers said.

"The political momentum behind data center protests is expected to influence the upcoming midterm elections, with both parties increasingly sympathizing with resistance as opposition intensifies."

“You’re fucking crazy“.

It’s hard to believe that someone like #Trump calls someone else “crazy”. And yet these are the words he used for #Netanyahu, terrorist and convicted war criminal.

“Everybody hates you. Everyone hates #Israel because of you“.

Again, these words came from the president of the US. An ironclad Zionist who is craving to profit from his future beach resorts in #Gaza.

But when we repeated for so long that everyone hates Israel because of its crimes against humanity and its impunity, we were bashed as the antisemitic ones.

“I’m the one keeping your ass out of jail“.

Indeed, Netanyahu’s ass belongs to a jail.

Either at home, because of the endless trials for corruption that he’s been trying to escape for years, or in The Hague, for his ICC arrest warrant for crimes against humanity.

Trump, another thug who should be in jail, openly admitted that he’s the one keeping him out of jail.

Just like two thugs with their hands bathed in blood reminding each other to be grateful to the other.

The existence of Israel in its current genocidal and hyper-colonialist form is a disgrace for humanity as a whole.

The fact that Netanyahu is not in jail yet is a disgrace for everything that justice is supposed to be.

The fact that Netanyahu has so much leverage over the West that it can drag the most powerful country in the world in all of its colonialist wars is outrageous, and historians will spend years to understand how this happened.

There’s only a problem with the latest call between Trump and Netanyahu.

That those words should have come from us, as Europeans.

We should have told both Trump and Netanyahu that they are two fucking crazy fascist thugs, that the world hates them, that the world hates the US and Israel because of them, and that they both belong to a jail.

The fact that no head of State in Europe so far had enough courage to make such obvious statements speaks a lot of how ideologically, politically and morally irrelevant we have become.
