  1. The battle over People’s Park is over. Berkeley hasn’t yet kept its promise

    Behind the shipping containers, a $312 million dorm is nearly done, while the building meant to house those it displaced has not broken ground.

    "The $312 million Judith E. Heumann House, named for the disability rights pioneer, will offer apartment-style housing for more than 1,100 undergraduates. However, a long-promised project meant to house the people the development displaced has yet to begin."

  21. #Georgia family says they're forced to sell home to help power #AIDatacenters: "It's theft"

    By Shannon Luibrand
    Updated on: July 13, 2026

    "Sell your home, or the state will take it — that's the ultimatum some homeowners in Georgia say they are facing amid the AI boom.

    "Utility giant #GeorgiaPower is planning to build a new transmission line to in part help power new #datacenters. It estimates 70-80% of the power on the new line will help serve data centers and the remaining 20-30% of power will serve the state's growing residential and commercial demand.

    "According to the company, increasing demand has outpaced the capacity of its existing grid and building a new transmission line requires acquiring more than 300 parcels of land, including residential properties.

    "Ansley Brown's childhood home that she said was built when she was 5 or 6 years old is just one of the properties impacted.

    " 'It's ours,' she told CBS News. 'It's our family. We belong here.'

    "Her mother wanted the property to serve as 'true generational wealth,' Brown said, adding that now 'it's being stripped from us.'

    "Brown's mother recently came to an agreement with Georgia Power to sell. If she didn't, Brown said the utility could have sought to acquire the property through #EminentDomain — which is a legal process that allows private property to be taken, with compensation, for projects determined to serve a public purpose.

    " 'To us it's theft. It's literally a billion dollar company stealing land from smaller people, people who can't fight back. We don't have the money to fight Georgia Power,' Brown said.

    "Holly Lovett, a spokesperson for Georgia Power, said eminent domain 'is always … a last resort for us and it's something we never want to do.'

    "The company said it feels as if it's done the process responsibly, but Brown disagrees.

    " 'You can't tear down 35 miles of rural Georgia and it not hurt something or somebody. And to say that you're doing it in the name of data centers is a slap in the face to us, our community, our animals,' she said.

    "A few months ago Brown took her story to TikTok and began sharing stories of others in similar situations. She said that while she knows it's too late to save her home, she doesn't want to see this happen to others."

    Sponsors need to consider language expressly forbidding naming of recipients other than “the public” or “the people”…
    Another concern is blanket hold harmless for potential malefactors who have committed federal crimes against #Whistleblowers. Just one more way the whole shebang goes into the sh*tter
