Story by Valerie Volcovici and Lisa Baertlein, July 18, 2026
Excerpt: "Opponents of the rapid buildout of
#datacenters held 142 protests across 42 states on Saturday in the first nationwide effort to channel anger at the
#AI infrastructure expansion that has ramped up over the past year and roiled local politics.
"The protests were coordinated by
#HumansFirst, co-founded by a former leader of the modern-day
#TeaParty. She compares growing opposition to data centers to the right-wing populist movement that emerged in 2009 to protest what it saw as excessive taxation and government overreach.
"Protesters rallied against what HumansFirst calls the 'unaccountable' buildout of

#Georgia never voted for
#hyperscale #AIDatacenters. ' "
