In this issue: Events and protests, this week’s viral post on an Ames data center listening session, and readers keep telling me why they’re totally gonna unsubscribe any day now.

Featured protests and events:

The city of Ames held a listening session on a proposed data center, where residents voiced concerns about electricity costs, water usage, noise, pollution, and other potential impacts.

They also used their phones to submit responses to questions like, “what words come to mind when you think of data centers?”

“Is either Gov candidate offering a real fix 2 federal healthcare cuts? Interesting to hear what’s going down with clashes among the labor unions and against the Dems in CA, but more interesting that there doesn’t seem to be any real plan for an Iowa fix to the federal healthcare cuts, or have I missed something?“
