What’s more, Terawulf plans to have the UAE spy firm G42 as one of its major clients at the proposed Cayuga Lake data center.
It’s more than obnoxious.
Terawulf is compromising American national security.

While Fascism is taking over the USA, Congressman Josh Riley of Ithaca, Binghamton, and Cortland is taking photo ops at reservoirs.
These are not normal times. We need a fighter to represent us, not a paper pusher.
Will Josh Riley ever fight back?

Tonight at 6:30, a meeting of the Town Board of Lansing will consider a 1 year temporary moratorium on land development reviews. This would delay the proposed Terawulf data center, which would create a big hike in our NYSEG bills. #CayugaLake #Terawulf #Ithaca

U.S. Rep. Josh Riley just voted for a resolution providing official congressional endorsement of Charlie Kirk’s “Biblical Truth”.

Ithaca environmentalists take note:
The old coal-fired power plant on Cayuga Lake has been taken over by TeraWulf, with deceptive “predominantly zero carbon” language in its lease.
In fact, the lease allows for up to 82.74% of the energy to come from burning fossil fuels.
This is for generative AI.

Josh Riley accepted lobbyists’ dirty money to pay for his vacation in Israel to meet the Israeli President at the same time that the Israeli government was assassinating journalists and starving children in Gaza.

Josh Riley has abandoned working people to do favors for cryptobros.

Ithaca New York tells Donald Trump to keep his hands off habeas corpus.
If habeas corpus rights are suspended, anybody can be thrown in prison without trial and without explanation.
There is no rebellion. There is no invasion. It’s insane to even suggest suspending habeas corpus.

Now yes, it’s going to rain a bit. ☔
When Nazi power was growing in Germany in the 1930s, would you expect the resistance to have been hampered by a little rain?
Let’s get out there and demonstrate our dedication!

I’ll be hammering this:
Next week the Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025, H.R. 1664, comes up for a vote in the US House.
This is one of the most corrupt pieces of legislation I can remember.
Cryptocurrency is the corruption that fuels fascism.
Call your rep to say: Vote NO! #crypto #corrupt
