It's Saturday night in #Ypsilanti. The neighborhood air smells of marijuana, and the gas station clerk is burning incense so the convenience mart doesn't smell like the neighborhood.

Not mentioned: There was an enormous amount of security at this meeting. The University brought guns to what was supposed to be a conversation. It was not appreciated. #DataCenters #AI #Ypsilanti #YpsiTownship #Michigan […]

Raymond Hollifield was arrested on September 18th in a likely retaliatory attack for issuing a complaint against the cops for their excessive force and abuse of power during the days-long siege against a Black elder in January.

#DebbieDingell is my rep in Washington: "I strongly oppose the proposed (#DataCenter construction) in #Ypsilanti Township. My opposition is not opposition to the University, it is not opposition to research, and it is not opposition to #ArtificialIntelligence […]

[Original post on mastodon.social]

Scan of the first page of a letter from Congressperson Debbie Dingell to Supervisor Brenda Stumbo and the people of Ypsilanti Township.

"Dear Supervisor Stumbo and members of the Ypsilanti Township community:
The proposed University of Michigan-Los Alamos research computing center in Ypsilanti Township has become a deeply troubling example of what happens when a major project moves faster than meaningful community engagement, transparency, and public accountability. The University of Michigan (U-M) has repeatedly failed to adequately communicate with the community, particularly those who live closest to the proposed site. Residents have spent years asking basic questions about the project, its environmental impacts, its water and electricity demands, its noise, its long-term operation, and who ultimately has the authority to make decisions. Instead of receiving clear answers early in the process, the community has too often been left to piece together information without receiving the answers or facts it deserves.
That frustration was on full display at the recent U-M town hall on September 9, 2026, where residents expressed anger and distrust toward university officials. U-M itself acknowledged hearing “enormous anger” and “enormous distrust” from the community.1 These concerns are not imaginary or isolated. Local officials and residents have repeatedly questioned the project’s potential effects on water, electricity, property values, quality of life, noise, and the environment. The community should and deserves to be treated as a partner, not as an afterthought, and U-M’s handling of the site-selection process has only deepened that distrust.
Making matters worse, the roles and responsibilities of the entities involved in this project remain unclear and insufficiently transparent. U-M’s current information states that the $1.25 billion project involves $300 million from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), $850 million from U-M, and $100 million from the State of Michigan through a Strategic Site..."

My new-to-me little neighborhood had its annual picnic this week. I ended up sitting with three other scholars in fields *much* different than mine, and that is one more reason why I really love living here. #Ypsi #Ypsilanti
