A Virginia developer wants to redevelop the old Star Tribune printing plan into a data center in North Loop. This is on a 13-acre site by the river. This is exactly why CM @aurinmpls.bsky.social & I authored a data center moratorium & we were told to not worry. 1/ www.startribune.com/data-center-...

I’m glad that it passed and now we have to ensure we have rigorous regulations or else neighbors will be facing the impacts. We need housing. We need a flourishing downtown. We don’t need this. 2/

I’m glad that the Minneapolis City Council established a temporary data center moratorium. The regulations piece is coming before the council soon. There are attempts to build data centers outside of downtown, next to rivers, and communities impacted by pollution. It’s time to get organized. 2/

“Last year, the Trump administration delayed a $10 million grant that was supposed to help Minnesota thin out about 4,000 acres of dense, dry forest at high risk of burning. Most of that work never got started… And now, some of those areas are on fire.” www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

🧪 #climate Trump has ordered a probe of the National Academy of Sciences. If the timing on his post is Eastern Time, and he actually types his posts himself, then I guess this was on his mind during the World Cup final.
