Why Are Plans for This Alabama Data Center So Hush-Hush?
Officials in Bessemer, Alabama, are mum on Project Marvel, a proposed data center the size of 18 Walmart Supercenters.
Iβm sure itβs just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

Senate Republicans pass bill to bar children without legal status from Tennessee public schools β’ Tennessee Lookout
The Tennessee Senate voted for legislation that requires immigration or citizenship documentation from the stateβs public schools.
Tennessee Senate just passed a bill to deny public education to undocumented children, directly attacking a 1982 Supreme Court ruling. This disgraceful move would make Tennessee the first state to punish kids for their parents' immigration status, leading to legal chaos and harm.

Heritage Foundation Staffers Flood Federal Agencies With Thousands of Information Requests
The conservative think tankβs requests are clogging the pipeline at federal agencies in an apparent attempt to find employees a potential Trump administration would want to purge.
In Oct., @fastlerner.bsky.social & @andykroll.bsky.social reported on how the Heritage Foundation flooded federal agencies with thousands of information requests, focusing on phrases like βTrump,β βclimate changeβ and βDEIβ in government workers' emails, texts, Slack and Microsoft Teams messages.
