"10a labs", a 'security research' firm employed by the big AI companies has begun collecting information and attacking organised opposition to data centres, framing them as "NIMBYS" and wildly exaggerating claims.

![Data Center Watch has published a report claiming that $64 billion worth of American data center projects were ‘threatened’ because of grassroots opposition.

The organization is backed by 10a Labs, an intelligence company specializing in AI security. Led by Robert McKenzie, a former adjunct professor of international and public affairs at Columbia University, it provides “intelligence collection, investigative research, and analysis for AI unicorns, Fortune 10 companies, and US tech leaders.”
The report claimed that $18bn worth of projects were ‘blocked’ and a further $46bn more were ‘delayed’ in the two years prior to March 2025.
It primarily attributed this opposition to local concern, identifying several “common themes” of opposition, such as “higher utility bills, water consumption, noise, impact on property value, and green space preservation.”
However, the report’s claims should be read with close attention to its definitions. For instance, ‘blocked’ projects include cases where a “company submits a new proposal with similar characteristics in a different but nearby location after withdrawing a previous project.”
Two examples, which amount to $14.5bn out of the total $18bn, fit this criterion.
The first is attributable to Tract, a company specializing in ‘master-planned’ data center parks, which withdrew a $14bn, 1,000-acre project located in Maricopa County, Arizona, in May 2024. Tract then announced in August of the same year that they had acquired a land parcel - double the size of the original project - within the same county for a data center park.
Whether Tract had already intended to develop a second facility prior to the withdrawal of the first is unclear. Grant von Rooyen, Tract’s CEO, previously told DCD that the company “very rarely [goes] into a market with only one solution… [Tract] will ultimately have multiple s…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:66lbtw2porscqpmair6mir37/bafkreihtwegmocoffjawkkb5v5gtnkxsca76piog2t6mexzippglpwjnza@jpeg)

in online corners like these I think people largely recognize how credulous, unprincipled opposition to "wokeness" functioned as lightly papered over defenses of impunity, but it's one of those drums people should probably start beating for normies
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

On November 11, 1887, four anarchists were hanged, after being found guilty of murder of a cop in Chicago's Haymarket Square, though the prosecutor admitted that they were actually tried for being anarchists.

There’s been a lot of ink spilled on QAnon and its effect on Trump’s base, and rightfully so. We need to have the same lens applied here, considering the broad buy-in to the idea that there is no organic support for the Palestinian people by our political, academic, and media elite.

Just a bunch of cowards showing their ass, honestly.
"The fights for trans rights and Palestinians are over and we lost" is something I'm seeing over and over from cis white progressives. And I'm seeing variations of this popping up about racial justice, marriage equality, and disability rights too.
Sorry, but fuck that.

Ecological problems are social problems. Apartheid is an innovation in the laboratory of domination, from which comes modern policing that suppresses effective climate struggle and the surveillance state that preempts it, and interdependent sociopolitical systems that reproduce the problem at scale.

All you have to do to manipulate U.S. politics is add a "for [scapegoat]," at the end of the sentence.
"They want free healthcare...for immigrants!"
"Economic opportunities...for black people!"
"Bodily autonomy...for trans people!"
"Freedom of speech...for the left!"
It's too easy.
