Y’all Are Not Alarmed Enough

The USDA just signed a $300 million deal with Palantir. Handing over American farmers’ private data to a surveillance-focused tech company is deeply alarming. This is not “modernization.” It is a power grab.

I remember writing a middle school report on Ralph Nader and consumer rights. That was an America that fought for transparency and pushed back against unchecked corporate power. Now, we are quietly surrendering our food system and personal data to private contractors.

Maybe it was always like this, and I was just too young to see it. But I refuse to accept that. We have to speak up and demand accountability, just like we were taught to do. #USDA #Palantir #FarmersRights #ConsumerRights #SurveillanceState

The comparisons of Trump to Hitler are not hyperbole. Our Constitution gives us one peaceful way out of this: impeachment. Demand that Congress start treating this like the emergency it is ➡️➡️ removetheregime.com

Listen to this BS from Rob Weissman, co-president @PublicCitizen at #impeachment panel in April. Sam Husseini @meaningmonster suggests a transpartisan impeachment which means ANYONE who wages an illegal #war/ commits #warcrimes! Weissman responds with this rambling we tried that before blah blah blah (ALL based on #Russiagate BS. Gee I wonder why that didn't work!) and says "But how are you gonna do it?!" He & other @thedemocrats don't want transpartisan impeachment! That would apply to #Democrats as well!

Awareness matters.
But awareness alone does not build safer systems.

In his #TEDMED Talk, Ralph Nader points to an overlooked pattern in social change: many major advances begin with small groups of citizens who organize, study the system, and apply pressure over time.

The work is not always loud.
But it can be world-shaping.

Visibility can reveal a problem.
It rarely solves one.

In this TEDMED In Context, we revisit Ralph Nader’s argument that meaningful social change is not built through spectacle alone. It takes organized citizens, sustained pressure, and people willing to understand how systems actually move.

Power is rarely immovable.
Sometimes, it is simply unchallenged.

They Want to Build a Mega Data Center in Your Backyard. Here's How to Stop It.
$156 Billion in Data Centers Were Stopped in 2025 by Ordinary Citizens. Here's How They Did It.

I want to tell you about the beginning of my career, because it is directly relevant to what I am about to ask you to do.

Fresh out of school, before the technology industry claimed me, I went to Washington, D.C. to work for Ralph Nader at the Center for the Study of Responsive Law. I was young, I was idealistic, and I had no idea how much that job would shape my life.
Ralph Nader is as close to a saint as I have encountered in my career. He took on every injustice he saw, not some of them, all of them, with a humility and urgency. He believed that a small group of dedicated and informed citizens could change the world. I watched him do it, repeatedly, from the front lines. Working on a book with his team also honed my skills as a writer; learning to take complex systems and make them comprehensible to ordinary people so they can act. I am trying to use that skill now.

What Would a Digital Nader Do?

I have spent my career championing technologies I believed would make the world better. I still believe AI is extraordinary and worth protecting.
But I also believe what Ralph taught me, and what Rachel Carson demonstrated in Silent Spring years ago: progress that poisons its own foundation is not progress. It is a debt we hand to the people who come after us. Carson refused to accept that the silence spreading across the American spring — the disappearing birds, the contaminated waterways — was a side effect to be managed rather than a catastrophe to be prevented.

We are in a similar moment.

A 2024 study found that California's San Joaquin Valley has been sinking at record-breaking rates, nearly an inch per year between 2006 and 2022. Stanford researchers project the sinking may continue for centuries even if pumping stops today. More than 4,200 residential wells have run dry.

We are drawing down aquifers that took a thousand years to fill, sinking the ground beneath the farms that feed America. And into this already-stressed system, we are now proposing (continue link in comments)
