Thank you, Michelle! The timing was perfect during the 2nd intermission of the Stars game, lol. I already shared it to bsky 'cause I'm sleeping in tomorrow!
It is so appalling to see South Texas and the Gulf be poisoned and oppressed by the petrochemical industry, now also apparently by water profiteers, SpaceX, and who knows who else. The midterms will occur against the backdrop of private prison companies building a dozen private prisons, no better than cattle pens, all along the Texas border, with much more capacity than can be justified by current detention levels. I hope South Texans are looking at these prisons knowing that they are built for them, including descendants of the Tejanos who have been in TX for 400 years, long before Anglo American settlement. And after them, who? Descendants of the enslaved after they're stripped of their citizenship? Indian tribal members? Democrats? Journalists? Women of child bearing age?
I have met Julio. He is great. He always remembers my name and is happy to see me, even though I am in North Texas. That means something. He cares about all of us.

Sickening. And if watching what's happening down there doesn't radicalize people, I really don't know what will.
