The company’s total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025. This is very easily the biggest increase in their electricity consumption ever, and it puts them way ahead of Microsoft. It is almost certainly a reflection of the obscene energy hunger of their ever-expanding bloated generative AI systems, and a vindication of the warnings we’ve been raising for several years now.

[...]

The power grids that Google’s data centres are plugged into have to increase generation to match this new demand – and that includes rising use of coal and gas, and as a consequence, worse climate disasters like deadly heatwaves. Google’s consumption is rising way faster than the grids are being cleaned up with renewables, and that means their emissions number is going up fast, too.

[...]

If “AI infrastructure buildout is currently accelerating faster than the grid is decarbonising” then Google shouldn’t be building AI infrastructure. If they are breaching the boundaries of safe operation on a planet that can only take so much, they should stop and consider whether all of this is worth it. Think about what Google’s AI services have done for you. Does it seem worth it? Are you getting a deadly heatwave’s worth of use, out of PDF summaries and AI overviews?

The first photo is from 1956. It shows a Black woman watching members of the Ku Klux Klan (a terrorist, racist, far-right organization focused on white supremacy) walking along a sidewalk in Montgomery, Alabama (USA). I couldn't find the photo's author, but most sources state that it was taken in 1956.

The second photo shows members of the Patriot Front group (a white supremacist and nationalist group, formed in 2017, that openly advocates what they call "American Fascism") traveling on the subway during the 250th anniversary of the U.S. independence in Washington D.C., while a Black woman watches them. The photo is by photographer Cheney Orr, taken on July 4, 2026, 70 years after the first photo.

My name is Enas Hajjo. I am 30 years old, from Gaza. I am a wife, and the mother of a little girl.

Our beautiful home،،the place where we dreamed, laughed, and built our lives،،was destroyed during the war. Nothing is left. Every memory we had was buried beneath the rubble.

Since then, we have been trying to survive in circumstances no family should ever have to face.

Then another nightmare began.

In the middle of the war, my husband, Ahmed, became seriously ill. After many tests, the doctors told us the heartbreaking truth, he has lung cancer.

Today, Ahmed is lying in a hospital bed, fighting for his life. The doctors say he must travel outside Gaza as soon as possible to receive treatment. Without it, we could lose him at any moment.

The cost of his treatment is far beyond anything we could ever afford.

At the same time, I am suffering from severe malnutrition because of the famine. Our bodies are growing weaker every day.

Now we live inside a small tent beneath the burning sun.

Every night, I watch my little daughter fall asleep, and my heart breaks. Rats and insects crawl over her tiny body while she sleeps. I try to protect her, but I cannot protect her from everything.

Can you imagine watching your child live like this?

Can you imagine not knowing whether your husband will still be alive tomorrow?

My daughter is too young to understand cancer.

She only knows that she doesn't want to lose her daddy.

And I don't want to lose my husband.

Please... pause your day for just one minute and look at us with compassion.

If you cannot donate, please don't underestimate the power of a reblog. Sharing our story may help it reach someone who can save my husband's life.

Please reblog our post.

Every reblog gives us another chance to be seen.

Every share brings hope.

Every kind heart brings us one step closer to saving Ahmed.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with my family.

With love and hope,

Enas Hajjo from Gaza ❤️

Please, don't leave us alone. You are our only hope. Please don't scroll past our story.

My husband is battling cancer, and his condition is getting worse every day. Our little daughter cries constantly because she is terrified of losing her father. As a mother and a wife, watching them suffer is breaking my heart.

We are desperately asking for a chance to save his life. If you are unable to donate, please share our story. A single share could help us reach someone who can.

Please don't ignore our plea. Every share, every kind word, and every act of support gives us hope.

He is the executive chair of Amentum, a company that provides engineering and technology to the USA’s army and nuclear programs. They operate the most test and training ranges of any contractor if their site is to be believed.

It appears they run the East Montana concentration camp, the largest in the USA. While much of the abuse, including sexual and physical abuse, occurred under the camp’s previous contractor, Acquisition Logistics, the ACLU has confirmed Amentum was WORKING AS SUBCONTRACTORS at the East Montana camp during this time. Amentum's current role as sole contractor from March onwards proves no less deadly, with 2 overdoses with the intent to commit suicide from inhumane conditions. Representative Escobar confirmed nothing has changed since Amentum’s takeover. Lawyers representing prisoners report being unable to reach their clients.

The following conditions are BY DESIGN, as "Guards tell people detained at Camp East Montana who complain about conditions that if they do not like the conditions, they should self-deport." Civil Detention Centers are not supposed to be punitive. This is only a civil detention center on paper. It is a concentration camp.

The ACLU lists: I already linked this but I'm doing it again bc if you read one source, it should be this one.

Medical neglect, including for people with pregnancies, diabetes, cancer, and HIV.

Severe beatings. One man was beaten to death for requesting his asthma medication.

solitary confinement

unclean water

Tuberculosis and Measles outbreaks

Limited to no sunlight

no or limited hygiene products

rotten food, not enough food, no special diets for medical conditions

SEXUAL ASSAULT

No ventilation in a DESERT leading to lung damage

Not enough toilets, overflow often, whole tent smells of urine and feces

No privacy to use said toilet

Threats and beatings for those that refuse to sign deportation papers, sometimes to places they are NOT FROM

No activities, punished for attempting to make art from recycled items like cracker boxes, can only practice own religion at guards' discretion

no dental care. This is likely universal across US concentration camps. Note Emmanuel Damas, the Haitian immigrant that died from a dental infection due to lack of care

Unable to receive legal representation if not already represented

LOCATED ON FORMER JAPANESE DETENTION CAMP BECAUSE TIME IS A FUCKING CIRCLE

Taylor Swift's guest is directly responsible for these. This is the LARGEST CONCENTRATION CAMP IN THE US, made to hold 5000 people. He's not just any ICE contractor he is the biggest and baddest. At least this will get people talking about just HOW bad this camp is.
