Her new thing is asking me to hold her hand. Sometimes she doesn't want pets or scritches, just wants me to hold her hand for a while while she gazes soulfully into my eyes 😂

Hundreds of people have showed up in opposition to data centers tonight in San Marcos, Texas.

We're done with empty promises. Disaster survivors across Texas are demanding accountability. Check the Texas Forever Fund Candidate Pledge Tracker to see which candidates will stand up for disaster preparedness—and which ones are running from the crisis. fundtexasforever.org/pledge/ #TexasForever

When James Talarico says trans rights, James Talarico means trans rights.

Apparently, Tesla moved from California to Texas so they can dump toxic waste water on their neighbors without fear of any consequences.

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note: Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

Standing room only at the Round Rock city council meeting where they’ll be considering another data center proposal. Rural Texans are all out against data centers.

“From Virginia to Texas the clean energy economy is still moving full steam ahead” This was just 5 days ago btw

Bill McKibben in Austin tonight. He states that our reluctance to address climate change will result in 1-2 Billion climate refugees fleeing from rising temps and climate disasters. A sobering number illustrating a reality many of us on the frontlines warned about: Immigration is a climate issue.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

It’s about time!! It’s been almost a year of screwworm reports & warnings. This should’ve come sooner with the feds pulling apart the FDA

TX House Dems sent AG Paxton a letter demanding immediate investigation and enforcement on AI-generated sexual exploitation on X, plus age verification compliance and clear victim reporting pathways. #TxLege #HD70

A lot of the tech bros are getting laid off in Austin… so idk about that

why are there so many helicopters + they’re so loud and before 9am???

I want to see the potato drop in Idaho. May I live long enough to experience the potato + pyrotechnics drop in Idaho in this lifetime

Abortion bans don’t pause for the holidays. Neither do we. Help us move from $25K → $75K before December 31: www.tinyurl.com/psafsupport

dear neighborhood, nobody take down holiday lights until we get past february ok?

This message hits hard.

The modern trad-cath social movement isnt far from OG Mexican sinarquista movement originating from a nazi looking to dirty & water down catholic social teachings that empower and bring together communities, to instead uphold right-wing white supremacist politics and incite radicals’ violent anger

Les contradiccions entre els arquitectes de l'onada reaccionària ja són més que evidents. Escissió a la Heritage Foundation, que va en la línia de les lluites internes a Turning Point. El projecte neofeixista no s'aguanta per enlloc. www.wsj.com/opinion/heri...

We have much to do. Over the next ten days, we'll be sharing about some of what we have accomplished together in the past year, and taking action to address the coming issues, including pending legislation in some states and executions in others.

On this final evening of Chanukah, which happens to fall on the Winter Solstice, we are ending a time of darkness and working towards a brighter world.

*from stump and media, not policy Energy- She wasn’t all of the above on energy but prioritized clean energy and environmental justice

I do think a useful strategy is esp wrt to South Texas and RGV is to ask what were HRC -the best-ever performing candidate in South Texas - policy proposals in 2016 to dispel disingenuous bullshitters like Yglesias Eg On immigration- she wasn’t tough on border, dropping enforcement altogether*

I’ve returned to the promised land (taco palenque)

Texas races. Love seeing no zero unopposed statewide seats 🙂‍↔️ docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Cleanview dropped these FREE maps of upcoming wind, solar, BESS, and data center projects Check it out here: cleanview.co/free-project...

Man I just want a breakfast taco what the hell is this Austin?? The valley would never do me like this. Fries and raw onion 🫨 will update

where can I get grits in this godforsaken city

!!! They dropped a bunch of experimental flies in Edinburg (the RGV) a few months ago to see if they’re able to combat the screwworm. Then there was an announcement of first human transmission in the U.S. I would say it’s pretty urgent

Once again begging non-Texans to stay out of Texans’ business.

how many brilliant artists, writers, philosophers have we lost to poverty & capitalism— Countless. Now we stand to lose scientists too??

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

Destructive policies right before Christmas while people aren’t paying attention. Things are getting really really bad

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

*youth pastor voice* Let me tell you kids about another carpenter who wasn’t very popular with the authorities

I'm not exaggerating when I say following @boltsmag.org rn will unlock money for our journalism. A generous reader, @russ41.bsky.social, has offered to donate $1 for every 1-person increase to our follower count. If you're not following @boltsmag.org yet, it'll directly help fund our reporting!

Cuellar just re-filed for congress after trump issued pardon. He’s running as a democrat.

Evil never dies, it reinvents itself. If the democratic establishment had stayed out of this 2020 south texas primary we would’ve had a progressive champion in Jessica Cisneros and a healthy, revitalized Democratic Party in south texas.

One in five adults faces mental illness each year — but care is still out of reach for far too many. That’s why I worked with my Dallas delegation to bring home $100 million for the new Dallas State Hospital, the first full state psychiatric hospital in our region. #TXLege #SD16

why are there bots on Bluesky 😐

Freshman Rep. Kerwin’s HB 1674 would’ve banned PFAS in Texas ag to protect public health and farmland but it failed— despite bringing 100s of her constituents to testify. How did we get to the point where our government is purposely contaminating produce with chemicals used to subdue fires #txlege

Amazon doesn't admit how many data centers they run. It's already over 900.
