In TX we’re being inundated with ads talking about how data centers hire tons of people, don’t use much water, and pay all the taxes. And our Governor is pro-data center. They’re know they’ve lost the public so it’s time for a renaming.

“These intolerable, unimaginably cruel laws meet the threshold of a human rights crisis and will only continue to cause harm.”

“I was extremely skeptical of the whole idea, in part because the original TED talk was based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the Pacific Garbage Patch and gyres,” says Dr. Clark Richards

“Sheinbaum also said the Mexican government will file civil lawsuits against companies that operate immigrant detention centers… to seek justice for what she called human rights violations against Mexicans living in the U.S.”

I have a Bible that uses the phrase “son of a bitch”… don’t blame me if I call you that now.

ICE is killing people on the streets of America. Cold. Read every one of these. Ask yourself: Is this the country we want to be? Then ask yourself this: why aren’t they wearing body cams?

628PM: Flash Flood Warning until 11:15 PM for northwest San Antonio and areas north toward Boerne, Bulverde, Spring Branch, and Canyon Lake. Storms have already produced 1–2 inches of rain, with another 2–4 inches possible. Streets, underpasses, low-water crossings, and creeks may flood quickly.

The cats in chip bedding are my favorite. 😻

An ICE guard admitted to assaulting 9 women. He’s no outlier: there are 2,300+ abuse reports in detention. Yet the DOJ argued federal safety laws don’t apply to immigration jails. You pay for these jails. The DOJ is complicit in every abuse case. Where is the oversight?

The shark doctor is in, and hosting a special Shark Awareness Day edition of “ask me anything!” For the next two hours, if you have questions about sharks, shark science, or shark conservation, ask away! (If you ask later I’ll try to get to it later)

"I do not think the people deciding rules about the most advanced technology on Earth should look like they're steam-powered" Jon Stewart

“ Markwayne Mullin is not in fact kinder and gentler; he is defending the agents responsible for the killings in Maine just as administration officials have knee-jerked defended other murderous ICE agents because they all believe that murder is an accepted and even encouraged part of the job.”

something important imo that isn't mentioned in the Reuters piece is the fact that, in response to the NAACP suing xAI, Trump's DOJ is trying to *take over the lawsuit as plaintiff* and "voluntarily dismiss" the case ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.

Were I an incredibly rich author I would simply live my life in a way that meant I did not have to send legal threats to Amnesty International.

Happy Shark Awareness Day! If I had to distill my outreach goals into one post, it’d be for you to learn that: Sharks are awesome! Sharks aren’t a threat to you. Sharks are ecologically important! Sharks are threatened and need your help! We know how to help sharks! Follow for more.

1132PM: Dangerous flash flooding is unfolding west of San Antonio, especially near Hondo and across Bandera and Medina counties. Rain is falling at 2-4+ inches per hour, and another 4-7 inches may fall over the next few hours as storms repeatedly move over the same areas.

“Texas… average effective rates of roughly 1.6 percent” Only because much of the state is undeveloped. If you want to live near a major city - you’re going to pay more like 2-3%

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

“the city was losing $15 million a year providing water to its biggest industrial users. Smaller commercial businesses, on the other hand, were over-paying for water by about $9 million, the study found.”

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes. Murray: And what is the rate for someone making $1,000,000? Dahl: 2.2%.

“a menopause revolution cannot just rebrand aging or offer us cosmetic solutions. To revolutionize menopause, we will have to revolutionize women’s health care.” Better info on surgically induced menopause would be great too.

I’m saddened to announce the passing of my work colleague, The Zodiac Killer. While we were often on opposing sides of the business, I always enjoyed his silly little scavenger hunts.

remember, be careful what you post on a day like this. If you do it right, you can get illegally fired for being disrespectful to Lindsay Graham and then win a massive lawsuit about 10 months from now and retire with 2 million in your pocket

Hi. We're in the Age of Diarrhea. I'm a global health expert on helping children survive diarrhea. Here's what to do if you might have picked up cyclospora. 🧵 1. Call your primary care if possible. 2. Take oral rehydration therapy, which isn't just drinking fluids. 1/

This "tweet" from a year ago has been deleted by its author. I'm posting here now on BlueSky as a reminder and as a public service, for anyone, should they ever need it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot dead by immigration agents while on his way to work. DHS claims he was using his vehicle as a weapon.

She’s repugnant, but this 1 in 10 stat has been around for decades and is an actual issue that should NOT be dismissed just because she’s saying it. Additionally - CSA is historically under reported, under prosecuted, and under studied. DOJ in December of 2017 (partially based on 2004 DOE):

“This is how you affect an election before a single vote is cast. This is how you steal an election. The fight is about the rules, the system.” 💥 Symone Sanders says the Trump admin’s removal of members from a key election agency is not “happening in a vacuum.”

Five facts that you should know about the current Cyclospora outbreak.

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's last words were "me están matando"—they are killing me.

Anytime we go somewhere beyond local - I print myself a AAA-style TripTik.

I am horrified by the brutal killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by ICE earlier this week. Mr. Araujo had no convictions and had been living here for decades, working toward the American Dream. ICE has provided ZERO evidence and has lied to us again and again. We need answers.

"When a Religion is good, I conceive that it will support itself; and, when it cannot support itself, and God does not take care to support, so that its Professors are oblig'd to call for the help of the Civil Power, it is a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one." -Benjamin Franklin
