"Between 2002 and 2024, Texas sharply cut its major air pollutants — particularly from transportation, industry and the power generation sectors — even as the state’s population grew by millions and its economy roughly doubled, according to the report, which used federal and state agencies’ data on air emissions.

At least 288 data center projects are planned across the state, according to a recent Texas Tribune analysis. The scale of the projected data center build-out means that the sector’s future emissions trajectory now depends heavily on how electricity is supplied. According to the report’s modeling, emissions could plausibly range from a marginal increase to a reversal of two decades of progress in reducing air emissions."

"The attack on RDTW is not an exception but another all-too-common example of the state’s reification of all space as governable through police enforcement. The settler project is intimately bound with how space is organized, and any act that transgresses such rigidity is met with violent force. The heightened policing and criminalization of Black and Brown youth in the teen takeover movement further demonstrates this paradigm: conservative aldermen call for “snap curfews” and increased policing while they sell off public parks to Riot Fest and hassle people selling water outside, running off street musicians and unlicensed vendors; the cops even stopping people waving Mexican flags out their cars during Mexican Independence Day. Many of the same cops who attacked RDTW just days later brutalized and arrested people for simply drinking lemonade in public, nevermind the city salt trucks blocking protests off from ever going north of the river or outside Trump Tower. The space of downtown Chicago is reserved for the ostensibly white, masculine, capitalist class, while Black/Brown youth who righteously defy the city’s deep segregation are subjected to not only increased surveillance and violence, but also subjugated to liberal conceptions of morality which say they do not belong. In this the public space becomes legible as space defined through colonialism, genocide, ethnic cleansing, slavery, segregation, and of course the prisons, detention centers, and jails."

"All of a sudden, the powers that be are rendered naked, and begin to stutter. Then they show their true colors and blurt it all out. They treat a blockaded high school as “urban violence” and explain, on public radio, that there are too many high school students, that many of them don’t belong in high school, and that, anyway, even if they pursue an education, it will never be enough for them to compete with AI in the job market. Now everything becomes clear."

"Drawing on organizing experiences of Black Rose/Rosa Negra members across the United States, this pamphlet explores how workers, neighbors, and communities are building collective resistance to ICE and defending their immigrant coworkers, classmates, and loved ones. By connecting struggles across workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods, the transversal organizing approach we prioritize builds solidarity across different sectors of society to confront the interconnected structures of domination that shape our lives.

Through organizers’ experiences, we share lessons on sustaining organizing, confronting repression, and connecting immigrant defense to broader struggles to build popular power."
