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.

The vast majority of the country has no idea how out of control ICE is right now. Yes, there's reporting on ICE raids and protests, but most people are not seeing photos and videos of horrific incidents like this, or the apartment building raid.
If most people did know they'd be horrified.

Massachusetts family says ICE misidentified father, will not release him
A father from Lowell has been held in ICE facilities around the country since his arrest.
βVia video call, Palacio-Morales showed WBZ the wristband he has worn since being taken into custody [by ICE]. He says it has the date of birth and name of an individual that is not him.β

It's not lost on me that the majority of the folks doing ICE watch stuff in my area of Massachusetts are women, two of whom stopped an abduction with their presence over the weekend. In spite of all the risks, people *are* fighting to protect their neighbors and that should give us hope.

The deployment of ICE agents in downtown Chicago today reminded me of the flash marches that neo-Nazi groups carry out when they all pile out of vans and march around for a bit to make propaganda videos, then quickly leave. Except these assholes have the force of law and kidnapped people.
