A lawsuit is also seeking to undo the project's approval.

People are fighting back and winning against these soulless tech giants. Most uplifting news I’ve seen in weeks.

    Thank you for putting it back!

    I am very grateful for your voice of reason; so damn tired of the astroturfing calling for immediate violence, which is a horrible take.

    Unorganized action is not helpful for starters. Unorganized violent action would be so much worse, as it would give justification for mobilizing the army under the pretense of quashing insurrection. And given that he already tried doing that preemptively, it’s very clear that’s the goal.

      I appreciate your kind words. Violence always begets more violence. Sometimes, it’s unavoidable, and if we completely refuse to defend ourselves we will always be exploited, but violence always needs to be the option of last resort. Using violence to defeat those who believe in might-makes-right just proves that we are mightier, rather than dismantling the toxic ideology at the root of the problem. We need to find a way to peacefully break the cycle of violence.
