Wait, what..? Something both the #Left and #Right can agree on?!! Maybe the right is waking up to #CorporateColonialism! Good! Our #CorporateOverlords take advantage of everyone! #Datacenter opponents stage 142 #protests across 42 US states Story by Valerie Volcovici and Lisa Baertlein, July 18, 2026 Excerpt: "Opponents of the rapid buildout of #datacenters held 142 protests across 42 states on Saturday in the first nationwide effort to channel anger at the #AI infrastructure expansion that has ramped up over the past year and roiled local politics. "The protests were coordinated by #HumansFirst, co-founded by a former leader of the modern-day #TeaParty. She compares growing opposition to data centers to the right-wing populist movement that emerged in 2009 to protest what it saw as excessive taxation and government overreach. "Protesters rallied against what HumansFirst calls the 'unaccountable' buildout of #datacenters and 'unacceptable infringement on our liberty.' "In #FredericksburgVA, one young man carried a sign reading, 'We thrive on water not data.' In #AtlantaGA, a small knot of protesters wielded signs reading, '#Georgia never voted for #hyperscale #AIDatacenters. ' " Read more: https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/data-center-opponents-stage-142-protests-across-42-us-states/ar-AA28cU6m #ResistBigData #BigTech #BigData #USPol #DatacentersSuck #NoisePollution #LightPollution #ElectricityConsumption #Secrecy #AISucks

More than 40 civil society groups across #Australia are calling on #universities to protect the #right to #peaceful #protest and #academic #freedom on #campuses as vice-chancellors appear at the royal commission into #antisemitism. The statement, signed by organisations including the #HumanRightsLawCentre (HRLC), #AmnestyInternational Australia and the #AustralianDemocracyNetwork, expressed “grave #concern at the increasing adoption by universities across Australia of measures that #restrict protest and related student and staff #political #speech”. A senior lawyer at the HRLC, #ReginaFeatherstone, said various anti-protest policies have had a “chilling effect on protest and #dissent on #campus”. The president of the #NationalTertiaryEducationUnion, which signed the statement, Dr #AlisonBarnes, said universities “should be places where staff and students can #speakfreely and organise without fear of #surveillance, #discrimination or other #adverse consequences”. On Wednesday, the interim vice-chancellor of the #UniversityOfMelbourne, Prof #GlynDavis, said #ProPalestine #SitIns on campus led to the institution “quite sharply” changing its protest policies and that further restrictions could arise. #auspol #KneeJerkReactions #Zionism

[demanding]... a more sinister #agenda of deporting people who have already settled in the country. A #Labour #Government should be doing everything in its power to stop those attitudes encroaching further into the mainstream. #Britain doesn’t need another #law that will only confirm beliefs that #immigration is out of control. It needs more courageous arguments for a #system that is robust, but also #humane."

The prompt abandonment of Viktor Orbán but the global Right & their quick shift to 'supporting' Péter Magyar after the Hungarian elections tells us two (contrasting) things: There is little loyalty in the New Right; whoever it looks contingent to support gets it with little looking in the rearview mirror; But equally the Right may be also confident that Péter Magyar is one of their won in any case.... #Hungary #politics #Right

To #force #external #might into #internal #right is a fundamental #crime against the #nature of #free #ebb and #flow of any #purpose brought into #being for any #reason at all. This is what #will #create a #rift between any #concept where a #bridge can directly #form through. The best #alternative here is to #align the thing you want, with the purpose of anyone who embraces it.

When it comes to #guns they more often than not are used to harm people, statistically so. With that being said, I have always been an #advocate for #self defense. Yes, bar none. Defending and protecting and securing self livelihood is an inherent #human #right that shall not be infringed. By anyone, or anything. I have friends who are #furry #bisexual #multinational #international #trans #gay #straight #qweer and #proud to be who they are in their own #identity #ethos and I encourage that.

@pvonhellermannn@mastodon.green Lest we forget: “The #BBC’s Idea of Impartiality is a balance between the #Right and the #FarRight: When the BBC's [former] Director General Tim #Davie says ‘We are absolutely driven by a passion for impartiality’ it’s like Hitler saying he was driven by a passion for Jews” quoting a blogpost by veteran UK socialist and anti-Zionist campaigner Tony Greenstein https://azvsas.blogspot.com/2023/03/the-bbcs-idea-of-impartiality-is.html #Press #UK #NewsNight #Greens #Victory #Election
