Background The growth of artificial intelligence (AI) is driving rapid expansion of in data infrastructures, including hyperscale data centers and data center campuses, fossil fuel power plants, and transmission lines. Data centers consume vast amounts of water and power and are expected to cost Georgia residents $2.5 billion in tax breaks in 2027 alone. The Public Service Commission (PSC) recently approved Georgia Power's request for 10GW of additional natural gas power generation, despite data centers only having made 3GW worth of power commitments. In fact, Georgia Power's demand estimates only have a 1 in 500 chance of realizing, almost guaranteeing that Georgia residents will bear the cost of power expansions via rate increases down the road. Adding insult to injury, long-term job creation is limited at best and one of the major AI companies driving data center expansion says a white-collar Great Recession is not off the table. Recent research suggests that data centers create miles-wide heat islands and emit dangerous levels of infrasound, sound waves that fall below the range of human hearing but have a broad range of health impacts. Research on potential health and environmental effects is often overlooked, begging the question: What other harms of data center development will we discover after it's too late?

1. It helps real people Many individuals report that kratom supports: Chronic pain management Reduced anxiety or stress Energy and focus for work Transitioning away from stronger substances For some, it’s the difference between functioning and struggling day to day. 2. It can be part of the solution to bigger problems With ongoing concerns around the opioid crisis, people are looking for alternatives. Some advocates believe kratom offers a lower-risk option compared to prescription opioids or illicit drugs. 3. Personal freedom matters Adults should have the right to choose natural supplements, especially when used responsibly. Supporting kratom is, for many, about protecting that freedom. 4. Smart regulation is better than bans Joining the effort doesn’t mean “no rules.” Most supporters actually want: Age restrictions Product testing and labeling Safe manufacturing standards This protects users without taking the option away. 5. Bans can backfire If kratom is made illegal: People may turn to more dangerous substances Black markets can grow Safety decreases instead of improving 6. It gives people a voice Lawmakers listen when enough people speak up. Joining shows that this issue matters to everyday citizens—not just companies or lobbyists. ITS JUST PLAIN GOVERNMENT OVERREACH!!!  MY BODY MY CHOICE

  We, the undersigned, respectfully urge the State of Florida to formally recognize 911 Public Safety Telecommunicators as First Responders under Florida law.  911 Telecommunicators are the first point of contact in emergencies. They provide life-saving instructions, coordinate critical resources, and support law enforcement, fire, and EMS personnel during some of the most traumatic and high-risk situations imaginable. While they may not be physically present on scene, they are mentally and emotionally present in every crisis, often experiencing the same traumatic events through real-time audio.  Despite this, 911 Telecommunicators are currently classified as clerical personnel and are not afforded the same recognition or protections as other first responders. 

The Forest Service oversees 193 million acres of forests and grasslands. Now, the scientists who protect them are being pushed out under a massive reorganization plan. Researchers don’t know if their work will be funded or where they’ll be sent, and many will simply leave. We’re already facing record temperatures and prolonged drought, positioning this wildfire season to be more dangerous than ever. Experts have warned that this move will drive a dangerous gap between science and land management. Conservation groups agree that without this research, our forests will be less healthy, less resilient, and more vulnerable. Don’t let the Trump administration silence the scientists fighting to protect our forests. Sign the petition now to demand the USDA keep Forest Service research stations open!

AI systems are already shaping how youth think, feel, and cope. Without regulation, they can contribute to anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, and harmful advice. Leading health organizations warn that AI can negatively influence adolescent wellbeing without proper oversight, and research highlights the rapid rise in youth reliance on these tools. The Legislature acknowledges that algorithmic systems and (AI)-powered platforms  are increasingly influencing young people's online experiences, which can have a harmful effect on their mental health by contributing to anxiety and depression, which can result in addictive behaviors and suicidal thoughts. In order to prevent technology developments from jeopardizing the growth and safety of California's youth, this bill aims to strike a balance between these systems' ability and accountability. By addressing the increasing influence AI and digital technologies have on young people's mental health development, lawmakers seek to pass legislation to safeguard children's and adolescents' safety, wellbeing, and mental health in California.

• Community Image: A town name should represent pride, not punchlines. • Economic Growth: First impressions matter for tourism, business investment, and branding. • Modern Relevance: Language shifts over time; names should evolve with it. • Local Voice: Residents deserve a say in how their town is represented.

The leadership of Animal Services is not merely a bureaucratic position; it is a role that directly impacts the safety, health, and lives of the most vulnerable animals in our community. This petition is vital because the current climate of unprofessionalism and administrative neglect has compromised the fundamental mission of the department.

I will solicit signatures from every person who pays this company

Our president is threatening war crimes!

It is important to join my cause because it will help the learning in school for students to learn via teachers, rather than a voice in a computer program. Joining this cause will hopefully lessen the need for Lexia in the classroom and boost the time Teachers spend teaching their students, or, doing their job.

People should join this movement because it offers something Indianapolis is missing: a real, practical, humane path forward. This campaign isn’t about blame or politics — it’s about building a city where everyone has the chance to be safe, stable, and part of the community. This is a great opportunity to build stronger neighborhoods. Community gardens, greenhouse projects, beautification work, and small‑business partnerships all create:  • cleaner streets  • safer parks  • more local pride  • stronger relationships between neighbors  Not everyone can donate money or volunteer every week.  But everyone can:  • sign a petition  • share information  • support fair‑wage programs  • advocate for humane policies 

HB211 in Louisiana would criminalize homelessness, imposing penalties and mandated “homelessness courts” instead of providing access to housing or supportive services. Such measures do not address the root causes of homelessness and further destabilize vulnerable individuals. We must prioritize housing-first solutions and comprehensive support rather than punitive policies.
