Incredible reporting by @tinavasquez.bsky.social here. A story about how the people who put food on American tables are denied water or even the ability to carry it with them or meaningfully ask for it to be provided, lest they lose their jobs working in oppressive heat.

I liked two or three posts about peoples’ sexual assaults on Instagram out of solidarity and now it’s literally my entire feed. Literally cannot scroll more than one or two times without seeing another post from someone I don’t even follow. God I hate the algorithm

I used to follow these bills somewhat obsessively until I realized that on average 20% of filed Texas house bills actually pass (last year it was closer to 12%) and now I’m like. Talk to me when it gets on a committee calendar and I can actually do something about it

I disclosed to one (1) professor because I needed to be excused from one of our assigned readings, and the only reason I knew to word events as hypotheticals to get around mandatory reporting is because I was *also* a mandatory reporter as a TA. I hate MR with a passion

Yeah this Cornell thing is like a mass disabling event for survivors. I am fine, I *was* fine. But now it's in the zeitgeist again so I get to be reminded of my own college experience, something I hadn't thought about in decades, on a daily basis.

I have a lot to say about the Cornell case, but I'm largely keeping it on the inside, since I'll be honest: I find it triggering. But I have one specific ask: parents, talk to your sons. Talk to them and make sure they understand accountability. Talk to them about consent. Do it now.

A cluster map of skeets zoomed in to the topic “morning greetings.” There are three big clusters to the upper left, lower left, and right of the topic. Zoomed into the right side, the subtopics are; thankful Thursday, Gunny’s morning greetings, good morning hello today, happy Friday Sunday thanks, and good morning casual check in. Zoomed into the upper left cluster, the subtopics are Guten morgen quiet presence, guten morgen lovely world, and goedemorgen heath and coffee. The lower left cluster’s subtopics are Buenos días Domingo vibes, and Bom dia sabadinho tranquilo.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

The lawyer for Rafael Garcés Pérez is Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch. Member of Congress who visited him says: The bullet is still in his body, wound still bleeds He hasn't fully regained mobility on his left. He received an injection for pain about an hour before the visit. URL: x.com/AttorneyKate...

Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch
@AttorneyKateLG
Congressman Greg Casar visited Wilber at Pearsall today and confirmed that the bullet remains lodged in his body, his wound is still bleeding, and he has not fully regained mobility on his left side. 

He received an injection for pain only about an hour before the congressional visit.

During the press conference, the Congressman called for adequate medical care, a full investigation, and the release of the entire ICE dashcam footage.

Wilber’s habeas hearing is September 30 before Judge Orlando Garcia. In the meantime, we are asking for his release back to the hospital. Wilber’s communication privileges remain cut off, and I am still waiting for a confidential attorney call with him.

I’ll continue to keep you updated.

I don't even think most people know that Patient Zero was a fake term invented by the media when they misread Patient O (as in Outside) as Patient 0 and then constructed an entirely fictional homophobic narrative around it that most people still accept as the truth.

I dug into the recent stories that claim transgender inmates in Texas were forcibly detransitioned off hormones -- per a revised policy provided by TDCJ (after a PIR), adult transgender inmates can still get HRT. However, that policy still doesn't appear online and the agency isn't saying why:

Hormone therapy for transgender, intersex inmates continues under revised TDCJ policy
The policy now separates out procedures for adult and youth inmates.

with alt text so everyone can enjoy
Post by Steve Deace:

Yesterday, Iowa House Republicans were informed by their own pollsters that if you are in a +15 district you're within the margin for error, if you're in a +10 district you're underwater, and that this might end being an even worse midterm environment than 2006.
I slept on whether to share this publicty, because I don't want to cause anyone to black pill. But this morning I ultimately decided the truth should be shared while there is still six weeks left to do something about it for the good of the country.

Because if the environment is this bad in my home state, where Trump has been the most popular political figure over the last decade, I can't imagine where it is everywhere else.
Whatever we're doing or not doing in Iran/Hormuz has become a 2020
Covid lockdown level of political albatross. This is approaching TARP bailout levels of unpopular in my home state. We are risking what's left of the Trump presidency on this, because if Democrats take control the legislative branch the Trump domestic agenda we all voted for will largely cease between what a Democrat Congress will do and the courts have already been doing. Not to mention what it will cost individual states like my own, which we have worked so hard to make so red these last 20 years (with Trump's help).

This whatever/kinda/sorta/but not really war has become an existential misuse of political capital. Many of us never thought it was worth it, and more and more it appears voters agree. We have to save our own country and our own way of life first before we can save anyone else. We have to save America before we can save the world. If a plane is endangered, you are told to put on your mask first otherwise you're of no use to help save anyone else.

Alt text continued:

I desperately want us to win. I desperately want this presidency to fulfill all the great promise it had coming out of the 2024 election. But whatever this currently is, isn't it. We don't have to just sit here and take the L. It doesn't have to end this way. We can still win. There's plenty of ammunition to hammer the Democrats with.

We need the president out on the stump asap. We need better and way more aggressive messaging. Stop running fake and gay ads about how often so-and-so shows up for votes, and instead mercilessly hammer Democrats on the wickedness they're voting for. Articulate specifically what the mission/victory is in Iran/Hormuz, because out here in the cheap seats it feels like another Middle East War quagmire regular folks are paying for on both ends all over again.

And for heaven's sake, make sure Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas are getting the finest healthcare in America.
