Pyro's Patriots

Pyro’s Patriots been out here active as hell.
Maybe you haven’t seen us protesting as much lately, but that does not mean we disappeared. We’ve still been in the community, showing up, helping where we can, giving out food, supporting events, building with people, and keeping the fire lit.
Sometimes the work looks like a rally.
Sometimes it looks like feeding folks.
Sometimes it looks like showing up for people who just need somebody there.
That’s what this has always been about, community, care, mutual aid, and staying present. We’re still here. Still moving. Still doing what we can with what we got.
Pyro’s Patriots lights a smoke for the people and keeps the fire burning.
If you see us out, tap in. If you need help, reach out. If you want to help, pull up.
We got us.

CANTON, PAY ATTENTION: DATA CENTERS ARE NOT “JUST BUILDINGS.”
Canton City Council is moving to update zoning laws around future data center projects, and a vote is expected July 27.
That means now is the time to ask the hard questions, not after everything is already signed, paved, powered, and protected by lawyers.
Data centers are massive infrastructure projects. They can demand huge amounts of electricity, water, land, cooling, backup power, road access, and public services. They can affect noise levels, utility systems, wastewater, air quality, neighborhood traffic, and long-term development. So before Canton rolls out the red carpet, residents deserve straight answers.
Questions that need asked publicly:
How much electricity will these facilities use, and who pays for grid upgrades?
Could this raise costs for regular residents or small businesses?
How much water will be used, where will it come from, and what happens during drought or strain?
Will they use air cooling, closed-loop water systems, or another cooling method?
How much wastewater will be discharged, and what will be in it?
What backup power systems will be used? Diesel generators? Gas? Batteries? How often will they run?
What are the noise limits, especially at night and near homes?
How close can a data center be to houses, schools, daycares, parks, or neighborhoods?
What emergency response risks come with the site, including fire, battery storage, fuel storage, chemicals, or cooling systems?
How many permanent local jobs will actually exist after construction is finished?
Will those jobs pay living wages and hire locally, or is this just another tax break machine with a security gate?
What tax abatements, subsidies, infrastructure spending, or utility deals are being discussed?
Will the public see the full ordinance before the vote?
Will every future data center require public hearings, environmental review, and full disclosure of water, power, noise, and backup systems?
Why not pass a temporary moratorium until Canton has a complete impact study?
This is not anti-technology. This is pro-community.
If a company wants to come here and plug a giant industrial brain into our water, power, roads, and neighborhoods, they need to answer to the people who live here first.
Canton should not be a sacrifice zone for billion-dollar tech infrastructure.
Show up. Ask questions. Demand specifics. Demand enforceable rules, not polite promises.

Do not let this be decided quietly.

Some people see the Empire State Building and think “tourist attraction.”
Some people see it and think “wedding venue.”
Some people see it and think “what if we climbed the spine of empire and hung a message in the clouds?”
Absolute fuggin legends.
Not because danger is the goal. Not because rooftopping is something anybody should casually copy. But because the image hits like a flare in the ribs: two black-clad weirdos standing over one of the biggest symbols of power in the country, reminding everybody that love, defiance, art, spectacle, and nerve still exist.
That’s the kind of myth the machine hates.
The fire won’t die.
We Got Us.
