A national progressive organization partially funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations appears to have been actively opposing the development of data centers in Temple, Texas.

Indivisible Centex, the Bell County chapter of the national Indivisible group, held a week of action in late April against data center projects in Temple.

The campaign included a “Protest & Petition” event at Temple City Hall on April 24, efforts to recall city council members who supported the projects, and a virtual Zoom event on April 27 titled “Thirsty for Power: When Data Centers Drain Our Water.”

Screenshots of the events from social media were provided to The Dallas Express.

Funding and Connections​

Indivisible has received more than $7.6 million from George Soros’ Open Society Foundations since 2017, including a two-year $3 million grant in 2023, according to OSF’s public grant database.

The financial ties appear to be matched by direct personnel connections.

Tom Perriello led OSF’s U.S. operations from 2018 to 2023 while serving on Indivisible’s national board. Indivisible co-founder Leah Greenberg previously served as Perriello’s policy director. Heather McGhee currently serves on the boards for both organizations.

Energy Expert Weighs In​

Jason Isaac, CEO of the American Energy Institute, spoke to The Dallas Express about why it matters to keep an eye on groups like Indivisible, their background funding, and their interests.

“The protests outside Temple City Hall are being marketed as a local uprising. They aren’t.

Indivisible Centex is a chapter of a national organization that has taken more than $7 million from George Soros’s Open Society Foundations since 2017, and Indivisible is just one node in a much larger network. American Energy Institute’s new report documents more than $39 million in foreign funding flowing from Swiss, British, and Danish donors to the twelve activist groups now demanding Congress impose a national moratorium on data center construction,” Isaac told DX.

“This is the same playbook used against pipelines, refineries, and LNG terminals, now aimed at the grid load that AI, advanced manufacturing, and reshored industry require.

Texas leads the country in data center investment for the same reason we lead in energy production: abundant, affordable, reliable power and a regulatory environment that respects private property and free enterprise.

Foreign donors and the activists they fund want to erase that advantage.

Texans, and the elected officials they sent to Austin and Washington, should treat this for what it is: an organized effort by people who don’t live here, don’t pay our taxes, and don’t share our interests to dictate what we build on our own land,” Isaac added.

Texas has become one of the nation’s top markets for data center investment, particularly along the I-35 corridor that includes Temple, reported The Texas Land Agent.
Indivisible has not responded to The Dallas Express’ inquiry for comment on its funding or its connection to Soros and the Open Society Foundation as of the time of publication.

Soros Fueling Opposition To Texas Data Center Expansion: Report​

https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/soros-fueling-opposition-texas-data-center-expansion-report

https://megalodon.jp/2026-0521-0541-30/https://www.zerohedge.com:443/ai/soros-fueling-opposition-texas-data-center-expansion-report

A new investigation has connected Wall Street billionaire and Democrat megadonor George Soros to a national progressive network of activist groups opposing data center expansion in Texas.
The Dallas Express reported that Open Society Foundations, founded and funded by Soros, has provided more than $7.6 million to the national Indivisible Project since 2017, including a two-year $3 million grant in 2023. Indivisible Centex, the local Bell County chapter of the national Indivisible network, has been active in opposing data center projects in Temple, Texas.

Indivisible Centex reportedly held a “week of action” in late April against data center projects in Temple. Activities included a “Protest & Petition” event at Temple City Hall on April 24, efforts to recall city council members who supported the projects, and a virtual Zoom event on April 27 titled “Thirsty for Power: When Data Centers Drain Our Water.”

The protests come amid significant data center expansion in the area.

Rowan broke ground earlier this year on Project Temple, a 300-megawatt hyperscale campus on roughly 700 acres with a minimum investment of $700 million, and is developing additional phases in the area. Separately, Meta has been building its own large data center campus in Temple since 2022. The Temple City Council's April vote to annex and rezone about 700 acres along Bob White Road for the Rowan project drew opposition from residents concerned about water use, electricity demand, and infrastructure strain, concerns that prompted a separate group, Stop the Temple Data Center, to launch a recall effort against the mayor and two council members.

Soros and friends, being agents of chaos and whatnot, are fueling the early stages of a “Luddite revolution” against data center expansion. Since mid-2025, the site has warned that exploding residential electricity bills, limited local job gains, and public unease over AI’s societal impacts would spark organized backlash, predicting protests and even infrastructure attacks within a year. Reports document a sharp escalation in resistance, with billions in projects delayed or blocked nationwide amid concerns over power demand, water use, and grid strain.

between exploding electricity bills and lack of jobs for grads, a new luddite revolution is coming - they will be burning down data centers within a year

American Energy Institute CEO Jason Isaac blasted the efforts and called for greater scrutiny of activist funding.

 

[Xarpho's Return]

Sounds like either reverse psychology bullshit or an ulterior motive.

I believe this is the data center in question and true to the highway comparison, a street was closed off in the process.

 

[Exegesis]

Your platitudes are all surface level nonsense we haven’t even begun to dig into the more complex issues of the fact that most communities didn’t want these things built but were forced to have them because they couldn’t afford to fight the lawsuits.

"wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I didn't want something built and wanna endlessly complain about it even though it probably had no material impact on my life or anybody else's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!"
I don't give a flying fuck about your NIMBY bitching. A few retards who learned about data centers via tik toks were rightfully ignored by a city council. I see no reason to stunt progress because it might mildly inconvenience a few people. The only problem that would actually be long lasting is lower water pressure but I assure you, it's not hard to live with slightly lower water pressure. I've lived at the top of a hill before, I'd know.
The other claims you made were shit pulled out of your ass or somebody else's (like the literally impossible temperature changes) or are easily solved (like the low hum coming from the building). You sound like one of those environmentalists that is begging for the US to deindustrialize because "muh environment."

Your devotion to the altar of progress is the same bullshit that got us cars that make us pay subscriptions just to know our fucking tire pressure or unlock ‘full RPMs’ and made everything electronic so now if the battery dies oh shit hope you read the manual because we hid the door handle!

No, it got us the interstate highway system. What goes on within the car industry is entirely separate from that because it was made to get rid of our overreliance on rail for moving goods. It moving commuters is and always has been a secondary interest.

You sound like Covid Vaccine pushers.

That's ironic because you're the one demanding the government to interfere with private business

 

[WelfareNiggerQueen]

All that electricity and water could be used for 100 million more niggers and spics. Fricking fashionists.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

"wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I didn't want something built and wanna endlessly complain about it even though it probably had no material impact on my life or anybody else's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!"

This is the response of a mature adult who can be depended on for rational decisions. /sneed

More importantly they weren’t ignored by the city council. The council agreed with them until faced with billion dollar lawsuits they couldn’t fight. Nice jew tactics though.

 

[TheVoodooThatJewDo]

"control the opposition"
-the jews

 

[Disdainer of the Plebs]

Ya know, whoever figures out how to efficiently cool a giant data center without open loop cooling towers is going to make a fucking mint.

 

[Dropa5pack]

But you see, all it lead to was the alignment being modified like with a curve getting tightened. The end result is that the interstate was still built and properties went away in order for that to happen. The goal with a lot of those protests was for the highway to not get built at all and to instead rely on the existing highway routes among other major road types. That only happened in San Fran and Manhattan and a few other dense areas.

Los Angeles was originally supposed to have more freeways. The 710 from Long Beach never made it up to its control city of Pasadena and is forever incomplete. By the time of the Century Freeway in the 80s an activist judge said it was going to be a human freeway, which of course just meant that it would take a century to build and go far over budget. Portland stopped the Mount Hood Freeway, which makes the route to the mountain take forever going through towns where the speed limit is 35 mph. Robert Moses in New York had ideas for a freeway through Lower Manhattan I believe, that was blocked.

Leftists used the same strategy with the death penalty make it costly and untimely and then use those as reasons for opposition despite being behind the problem existing in the first place.

 

[Super-Chevy454]

It can be both, using reverse pscycology BS for an ulterior motive.

This was a general statement and wasn't directed towards any specific city council. The majority of city councils have already ignored complaints made by locals because most data centers are built in bumfuck nowhere by an interstate highway. This idea that data centers are frequently right next to residential areas is the result of confirmation bias. Keep calling me Jewish while you unironically side with fucking George Soros and environmentalists who think the western world should deindustrialize.

Robert Moses in New York had ideas for a freeway through Lower Manhattan I believe, that was blocked.

Robert Moses went overboard because urban areas don't need interstate highways to deeply penetrate them. If they do, it's preferable to do what Boston did with the big dig. Letting urban cores get bisected by highways isn't a great idea most of the time since you can simply have the highway terminate at some major 4-6 lane road(s) which are almost always already there.

Every movement has it’s band of retards they’d rather not have to acknowledge but it’s not like they can actually do anything about them. Even the purest cause has spergs. If that’s your criteria for denouncing something you might want to look at your cavalcade of tech bros spouting off about the Anti-Christ, trying to make themselves immortal, breeding their own race of ubermensch, and other wacky bullshit.

Either way, this conversation is going nowhere so I guess we will just have to see how amazing the future is in ten years. I mean afterall, look how great it got from ten years ago to now HAHAHAHAHAHAHA….so many pajeets

 

[George Lucas]

The anti–Data Center brigade is coming directly from the CCP. Everything else is a distraction. China doesn’t want us to build data centers. Ask yourself why before you sperg out about whatever the fuck it is you want to sperg about opposing data centers.

 

[Exegesis]

Either way, this conversation is going nowhere so I guess we will just have to see how amazing the future is in ten years. I mean afterall, look how great it got from ten years ago to now HAHAHAHAHAHAHA….

There is a pretty big technological difference between now and 10 years ago but I guess your memory is too foggy for you to realize that. I don't think AI's are gonna do much of anything major within the next 10 years but their use by the masses for automating some basic task's is only gonna increase. You continue to conflate my views on AI with what you're hearing other people say. I'm not conflating your view's with anybody else's because the retarded shit you've been spewing for the past day has been identical to what autistic NIMBY's and tik tok environmentalists have been saying since 2023.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

There is a difference, I just disagree it’s been a good thing considering it just help tracks people better all the time. Guess that’s progress to you. Whatever, enjoy Big Brother!

 

[Exegesis]

There is a difference, I just disagree it’s been a good thing considering it just help tracks people better all the time.

There isn't a substantial difference in the amount that the government and companies know about you know compared to back then. The only difference would really be the method.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Has George Soros ever been prosecuted for all the meddling or funding he does?

BTW when I googled that the top results were how Soros is a "boogeyman" or "scapegoat" of the "hard right", and that it's a "conspiracy theory" to believe he funds loony BS.

It really is so tiresome.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

There isn't a substantial difference in the amount that the government and companies know about you know compared to back then. The only difference would really be the method.

FLOCK would disagree. That’s just one difference too. Facial recognition technology and active scanning by LEO is another. But like I said this is a useless discussion, you are doggedly committed to progress no matter the cost because you think you’ll be a benefactor instead of the commodity. Delusion is always sad to see. Oh well, guess we’ll see.

 

[Angry Alt Right Nerd]

And suddenly conservatives are totally fine with being replaced as long as it's with AI and leftists are freaking out over having their jobs taken

 

[Corpun]

I think in his particular flavor of bughive future you don't need these kind of data centers. AI never really featured in the "you will own nothing and you will be happy" types of futures, it'd take away too many bullshit jobs from the masses. There's a lot of automation in how delivery drones bring you your rented kitchen appliances and shit like that, but that doesn't need AI per se. And these futures usually have a bit of a green flavor to them where there isn't a lot of overt technology in everyday life, and the focus is on analog interactions with your diverse neighbours.

The bughive own nothing clique seem to be a different set of elite from the transhumanists who view technological progress as desirable whatever the cost. They actually seem more realistic in their goals despite their own dystopian nature and if I was forced to choose one set of lite to be ruled over by the Soros and Schwab types are far more tolerable than guys like Sam Altman and Alex Karp.

Be prepared to be called a hippie for hating ‘progress’ lol

Remember a time when it was the USSR trying to mess things up in America?
