@defendourjuries.bsky.social#PalestineAction Activists to Be Sentenced As Terrorists in Move Kept Secret From Jury and Public
“Convicting activists for one charge, then sentencing them as terrorists, is more outrageous than the proscription of Palestine Action.”

An Iranian museum holds a rare exhibit of American art, reflecting on war
By MEHDI FATTAHI
Updated 11:43 AM EDT, May 8, 2026TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — "The artworks are distinctly American — famed pieces in vivid colors wrestling with themes of war, violence, pop culture and commercialism. What’s startling is where they’re on display: In a museum in the Iranian capital, at a time the two countries are locked in conflict.
"While the city’s streets are lined with anti-American billboards and posters, #Tehran’s Museum of Contemporary Art opened an exhibit this week of six works by three American Pop artists of the 1960s -- #RoyLichtenstein, #RobertIndiana and #JamesRosenquist – mainly chosen for their #AntiWar themes.
"The works come from the museum’s large collection of masterpieces of American and European modern art that was acquired by the wife of the former shah in the 1970s. Most of it has been kept out of view since the Western-backed monarch was ousted by the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
"After living under #USIsraeli bombardment for weeks, the young men and women strolling the gallery felt a resonance from the works.
"Some contemplated #Rosenquist’s 'F-111,' a collage dating to the era of the U.S. bombardment of #Vietnam that critiques America’s #MilitaryIndustrialComplex with images of a warplane’s fuselage, a #nuclear #MushroomCloud and a child’s face."

#KevinOLeary’s Massive #DataCenter Project in #Utah Gets the Greenlight, Locals Are Furious
The project would be more than twice the size of Manhattan and could consume more electricity than the entire state currently uses.
By Bruce Gil
Published May 6, 2026"The Box Elder County Commission voted on Monday to move forward with a proposed 40,000-acre #AI and #CloudComputing campus in a rural part of northern Utah near the #GreatSaltLake. The site would span more than twice the size of Manhattan.
"The project, backed by O’Leary Digital, the infrastructure arm of O’Leary Ventures, is expected to eventually produce and consume up to 9 gigawatts of power. That’s roughly double the amount of electricity the entire state of Utah currently consumes, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
"The campus is expected to be built in phases and overseen by Utah’s Military Installation Development Authority (#MIDA). O’Leary proposed a similar project in Canada in 2024 and has referred to both developments as '#WonderValley.' "
[...]
"For his part, O’Leary has claimed, without evidence, that much of the opposition to the project was 'paid' and that the meeting was filled with 'professional protestors.'
" 'We think that over 90% of the protestors are actually not people that live in Utah or Box Elder County. They’re being bussed in,' O’Leary said in a video posted on X.
He also claimed backlash on social media surrounding the project was AI-generated."O’Leary Ventures did not immediately respond to a human-issued request for comment from Gizmodo."

"A six-year battle between 3M and the state of Minnesota over PFAS pollution at a factory on the Mississippi River has landed in court, where the company plans to present a novel defense: that it is not liable for the pollution because it was the result of work being done for the military."
3M claims military immunity in Minnesota PFAS case
State regulators sue, alleging chemicals from Cottage Grove site are continuing to contaminate the Mississippi River.

“Everything is great !” (NOT!) - Carsie Blanton
“900 attack helicopters, 5,000 tomahawk nukes, 800 military bases, 81 declassified coups. We don’t believe in political violence, that ain’t the way that we get things done. We don’t believe in political violence, peace and freedom for everyone!
It’s the hottest summer in the history of man, for some reason yesterday we bombed Iran. “ -

Climate finance, defence spending and war
"Pope Leo XIV has said that the world is being “ravaged by a handful of tyrants” who spend billions on war, in comments that will be seen as another sharp escalation in his almost week-long feud with the White House over the US-Israel war on Iran....They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." >>
