A much warmer day across the southern half of Texas, while it's 'warmer' up north, too. Another cold front arrives tonight and Friday to chill things out. No rain/snow/ice/sharknadoes through early next week. ~David #TXwx

BREAKING: We've joined a lawsuit defending people peacefully protesting and documenting ICE activity in Minnesota from retaliation by the Trump administration. We have a constitutional right to protest and record law enforcement in public.

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes. This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

No. Congress did NOT enact any law whatsoever that abridges the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, nor did they enact enforcement of imaginary laws you speak of to murder, maim, kidnap, and further abridge the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as we the people exercise said rights..

BREAKING: A former Illinois deputy has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for fatally shooting Sonya Massey, who had called 911 for help.

"Ninth Circuit Judges Kim Wardlaw, Salvador Mendoza, Jr. and Anthony Johnstone said in Wednesday’s ruling that the TPS legislation passed by Congress did not give the secretary the power to vacate an existing TPS designation. All three judges were nominated by Democratic presidents."

"Noem illegally" is, in her case, a complete sentence.

russia won't stop killing Ukrainians and destroying their land unless Ukraine acquiesces to their demands and gives putin their sovereign territory.

apple cider vinegar.

ICE, CBP, and other law enforcement agencies are buying our personal information from data brokers instead of getting a warrant. Tell Congress: The government cannot be allowed to buy its way around the Fourth Amendment.

Love.

Among some pretty dismal polling results for Trump from Fox News, his number on ICE being too aggressive is particularly bad.

BREAKING: We just filed an amicus brief challenging a new Arkansas law that would require all people to verify their ages with a photo ID or biometric data in order to use social media. This law threatens our rights to free speech and privacy.

#ATX Stop ICE rally on Saturday! 3-4pm at Pan Am Park

HUGE news! This is about a Trump admin effort to arrest thousands of screened and vetted refugees in Minnesota and fly them to Texas to be jailed and then interrogated. After the interrogation is over, people are being dumped on the street and told to find their own way back.

The parents of Alex Pretti have retained a former federal prosecutor who helped Minnesota's attorney general convict the police officer who kneeled on George Floyd's neck of murder. https://to.pbs.org/3ZA2HfU

A loggerhead sea turtle has returned to the Atlantic Ocean after rehabilitation at a Florida turtle hospital.

So, basically, Trump was able to get away with it in Venezuela. Now he feels like he can execute the same operations in ANY country and just take anything he wants? I don’t see this ending good.

About "The Marinera, previously known as Bella 1, had been chased across the Atlantic by US coastguard after it approached their blockade of Venezuela, eventually being seized in international waters between Iceland and Scotland with the assistance of British military and taken to the Moray Firth."

And then, if I'm not reading wrong, *another* one next Tuesday. It's like a winter version of dominos. #txwx

ICE should be prosecuted.

"Nine progressive prosecutors from cities around the country are launching a coalition to assist in prosecuting federal law enforcement officers who violate state laws, one of the prosecutors, Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, said on Tuesday."

is it really 40 years ago?

Yes. This. Exactly.

even if you don't use said app, please take note:

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Yet another upon so many others.

Amen.

“If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.”-Audre Lorde I love this quote because power defines people from the outside. Lorde wrote about survival through intersectionality in the 60s, but framed it as judgment without knowledge

WATCH: Man sprays Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) with liquid during town hall in Minneapolis The man was detained and the meeting continued without further interruption

Alex Pretti died as he lived — protecting his neighbors. Not hiding behind a mask. Not shooting a man in the back. Not lying to cover it up. In a country run by cowards, be like Alex Pretti.
