Did you know there was a 5.2 magnitude earthquake in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico last night?
Did you know it is in the same area where hydraulic fracturing (fracking) has increased the number of wells from 350 in 2010 to 4524 in 2021?
I am sure it is just a coincidence.

Sen. Strom Thurmond voted against the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, AND supported Jim Crow laws.
Thurmond’s record for longest floor speech (in protest of the Civil Rights Act, no less!) was just broken by a Black man, my good friend Cory Booker.
That’s America.

I am one of those who have long-COVID. We should have the right to protect ourselves and other vulnerable people
Everyone is at risk of Long COVID and other serious health issues from COVID-19.
And lots of people don’t have paid sick days or the ability to take time off from work, caretaking, school or more if they get sick.
EVERYONE has a right to wear a mask.

Let me explain something that should be obvious: when you place somebody in custody, you assume responsibility for their wellbeing. Your job is to keep them alive and well, sometimes even in spite of themselves. Zero excuse for this. Care when it happens to them or idgaf when it happens to you.

The facility, which was a detention facility prior to it being converted for ICE use, has a max capacity of 500.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.
