  6. CounterPunch.org | Whitmer’s Data Center Push Isn’t Just Bad for Michigan – It’s Bad for the World by Jackie Barlow - Stewart Mitchell

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s push to build a massive AI data center in Saline, Michigan—backed by tech giants OpenAI and Oracle—has sparked fierce local opposition because it threatens environmental health, local livelihoods, and global justice. Critics argue the project fuels a broader pattern of U.S.‑supported data‑center expansion that relies on conflict minerals and fossil‑fuel energy sourced from the Global South, financing armed groups and wars in places like the Congo, Venezuela, Iran, and the DRC. The center also expands military‑linked surveillance infrastructure, with companies such as Palantir, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing involved in technologies that automate targeting and mass data extraction. Residents contend that promised economic benefits are outweighed by 24/7 noise, property‑value loss, water consumption, and the diversion of municipal resources, while the state grants tax breaks that sideline public input. The article urges Michiganders to continue resisting these projects, emphasizing that local dissent is being ignored in favor of corporate and war‑profit interests.

[W]e see people who have sucked on the crack-pipe of realpolitik for so long that... they have lost touch with everyday morality. They believe in nothing except political survival... Any principles beyond those have atrophied into invisibility."

  35. The political ineptitude and economic incompetence of Governor #Whitmer is frustrating as hell for a state that is at pivotal economic time. The next 10 years are crucial. Make-or-break for Michigan forever. We need actual leadership like yesterday.

  36. That matters because the #Michigan economy is not robust and not appropriately-diversified so feckless leaders are sort of “forced” into a position of weakness. Hat in hand all of the time. ANY wins we can get, no matter the cost or quality. One can see it too in Gov. #Whitmer pulling punches.

  44. Group says Michigan is at the cusp of achieving gender parity with women in elected office • Michigan Advance

    Michigan ranks third in the country for the state with the best gender parity for women in elected office, according to rankings from RepresentWomen, a non-profit organization tracking gender representation in elected office in the U.S.

    With a 49.5 out of 100 score, Michigan is at the edge of gender parity. The two states that outrank Michigan, Wisconsin and Maine, have achieved gender parity with Wisconsin scoring 51.8 and Maine scoring 54.1 this year.

    Michigan has never strayed far from the top ten states since RepresentWomen began compiling its annual Gender Parity Index in 2013, but since the 2018 election when women were elected to lead all three of Michigan’s statewide executive offices, the state has been inching towards parity.

    Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan’s second ever female governor, often speaks on workforce and educational opportunities for women in the state, embracing a “wear pink, get sh*t done” mentality to femininity in politics.

    Last summer when the “Barbie” movie was coming out, Whitmer’s office came out with an unofficial “Governor Barbie” calling for empowerment for children and women to seek out their dream jobs and roles.

    “Together, we work to create spaces and structures that empower women to show up as they are and allow them [to] lead from the front,” Whitmer posted on “X” in July of 2023.
