#DOJ, #Mississipi, ask #court to #dismiss suit by #NAACP re: data center in #Memphis, an #asthma capital of USA.
-> When filed, the xAI #DataCenter was illegally using 27 #GasTurbines, spewing #pollution & poisonous #chemicals. Since then, the #SELC (Southern #Environmental Law Center) "obtained emails showing that xAI added even more #turbines after the #lawsuit was filed, bringing the total number to 57."

#RESIST! #NAACP Sues #DepartmentOfEducation Over #DEI Rollbacks: Here's What To Know
The nation's oldest #CivilRights group says the Trump administration’s rollback of diversity and inclusion programs is unconstitutional and disproportionately harms #BlackStudents.
April 19, 2025
"The NAACP is suing the U.S. Department of Education over recent efforts to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in schools. In a federal complaint filed in Washington, D.C., the organization alleges that the Department of Education’s recent directives are unconstitutional and discriminatory—particularly for Black students.
"The complaint faults the administration for targeting programs that offer '#truthful, #inclusive curricula,' as well as policies that expand access to selective educational opportunities for #BlackAmericans and foster belonging while addressing #racism in schools.
"The NAACP argues that the Department’s recent actions 'advance a misinterpretation' of federal civil rights laws and Supreme Court precedent—actions that, according to the group, violate its members’ rights to equal protection and to be free from viewpoint discrimination under the #USConstitution.
"NAACP President Derrick Johnson criticized the move, stating that the administration is 'effectively sanctioning' the very discrimination that U.S. civil rights laws were designed to prevent
" 'The Department of Education, tasked with a responsibility to protect the civil rights of all children, has instead claimed #SystemicRacism doesn’t exist — effectively sanctioning the very discrimination that our civil rights laws were designed to prevent while children of color consistently attend #segregated, chronically underfunded schools where they receive less educational opportunities and more discipline,' said Johnson."

#Ohio #sheriff tells residents to "write down the addresses" of #HarrisWalz supporters
Sheriff #BruceZuchowski urged residents of an Ohio county to report neighbors with Harris-Walz signs
By Marin Scotten
Published September 16, 2024 12:49PM (EDT)"An Ohio sheriff told people to 'write down the addresses' of anybody who supports Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, sparking fear and division among residents in #PortageCounty, located 30 miles south of #Cleveland.
"On Friday, Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski posted the threatening message on both his public and private Facebook accounts: 'When people ask me...What's gonna happen if the Flip - Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins?? I say...write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards!' Zuchowski wrote. 'Sooo...when the Illegal human 'Locust' (which she supports!) Need places to live...We'll already have the addresses of their New families...who supported their arrival!'
"The posts have been shared over 200 times and have amassed chaos in the comment section, which Zuchowski has now limited.
"It's not the first time Zuchowski's been involved in controversy since he first took office three years ago. In 2021, he criticized Cleveland’s Major League Baseball team for changing its name from the 'Indians' to the 'Guardians,' a move long advocated for by #NativeAmerican groups. Last year, The Portage County #NAACP also accused Zuchowski’s department of disproportionately targeting minority drivers.
"Residents in Portage County were 'surprised and fearful' after Zuchowski's latest post, The Portager reported. Before he limited the comments, users had replied with the names and addresses of Portage County residents who were displaying Harris-Walz signs.
"'I have a sign in my yard,' one frightened resident told The Portager. 'Our sheriff is asking #MAGA to write down our addresses. This is not normal and it is scary.'"
