Juan Proaño on the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo: There were three others with him in that vehicle. Those individuals are now being pressured to sign self-deportation orders. They’re trying to get rid of them as witnesses as well.

ICE Agent is once again using excessive force If slamming a man’s face into a concrete wall isn’t assault, then attacking the guy that caught him on video is! Screen shot of agents face is in replies make sure everyone sees him!

“ICE & the Justice Dep’t have both repeatedly been caught lying — and not just to the media, but under the threat of perjury, to judges in court. Here in Houston, for Lorenzo, it would be ludicrous to expect anything different.” Independent investigation NOW! www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/edit...

ICE lies. And now they’ve killed a Houstonian.
Houstonians must stand up for one another after the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by immigration agents, writes the Houston Chronicle Editorial Board.

No. We are not trying to 'oust Christianity from the classroom.' We want to change lessons so they teach Christianity objectively, and not as literally true. Children deserve to learn that being non-religious is normal, and that we as people have values too 🧵 www.christian.org.uk/news/under-1...

WE FOUND THE ELECTION FRAUD‼️ Ken Paxton may have violated Texas election law by voting from an address where he allegedly didn’t live. Under Texas law, knowingly voting while ineligible is a second degree felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

India just generated 50% of its electricity from clean sources. For 15 minutes. Sounds trivial? That's how every record starts: first minutes, then a day, then a month, then a whole year. Some states are already there: Karnataka crossed 60% clean power last year.

Tetanus is returning. In the 1930s, Tetanus was widespread in the US. The development & deployment of vaccines reduced annual cases from ~ 600 in the 1940s to 17 in 2020. Mortality dropped 99%. There is no cure for tetanus. We have forgotten how life was before vaccines. 🧪 archive.today/c6QVx

Tetanus is making a comeback. There’s an easy way to fight back.
It's easy to dismiss, but more Americans died from tetanus last year than any year in nearly two decades.
