Under the Trump administration, the United States has increasingly become a digital police state—one where pervasive surveillance systems endanger all Americans' fundamental rights, while immigrants, protesters, the administration's political foes, pro-Palestinian activists, transgender individuals, and people seeking reproductive healthcare face particularly intense monitoring and repression wholly inconsistent with our nation's founding principles.

Data center projects have faced resistance from residents and communities over their impact on power prices, but another complaint is being raised more frequently — noise pollution. One form of sound pollution is called infrasound, which is inaudible to humans but can be felt, and some claim it causes headaches, insomnia, nausea, and anxiety. Then there's the normal garden-variety sound pollution. The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI), a non-profit organization, said that high- and low-frequency sounds emitted by these industrial sites can be heard and felt for hundreds of feet in surrounding areas, with noise levels reaching as high as 96dB for 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
