I need you to keep in mind that ANY bill that bans access to best practice medical care for trans people is unspeakably cruel. EVERY proposal is unconscionable. The arbitrary ages chosen to limit care to especially vulnerable young trans people don't make any bill less cruel.

Sure @AmericanAir didn't handle carry on baggage on a full flight leading us to miss the window before storms set in and leaving me stuck in Chicago overnight. But they graciously gave me a $12 meal voucher that can be used in the airport for my troubles.

We identified at least 114 injection wells in communities across Oklahoma that are located within a half-mile of a public water supply well. More than 300,000 Oklahomans live in communities that rely on these water wells, according to our analysis. readfrontier.org/stories/to-…

To protect its drinking water, this city has to appeal to the oil regulators that put it at risk

Oklahoma restricts oil field wastewater injection within a half-mile of public water wells. Regulators have let companies do it anyway. But in the city of Enid, officials are pushing back against one...

if you’ve ever worn black to a protest, used Signal, or carried a first aid kit, a federal jury just decided that can all be evidence of terrorism. a quick thread on the Prairielands convictions from last week, and what they mean for the right to protest in the US:

Gobsmacking statistic in this story: “While city pools and splash pads consume almost 2 million gallons of water over the course of a summer, a single Exxon plastics plant consumes 13 million gallons per day.”

NEW: Absent a biblical rainfall event this summer, Corpus Christi will be the first American city in modern history to run out of water. 💦 Schools & hospitals hope to drill wells. Lawns are dry. How will petrochemical plants handle it? We don’t know. kut.org/energy-environment/2…

Corpus Christi plans to declare a 'water emergency.' What does that mean?

City leaders intend to make unprecedented cuts to water use in September, but they aren’t sure exactly how.

Century Aluminum wants to build a new smelter in Oklahoma. In other states: • Residents reported headaches, nosebleeds • Regulators cited pollution violations • The company paid to settle claims Now Inola residents are raising concerns. Our latest: readfrontier.org/stories/one…

One of the companies behind a planned Oklahoma smelter has a history of air pollution violations

Century Aluminum paid a settlement and fines tied to emissions issues as it pitches a new facility near Tulsa that it says will be cleaner.

The dirty little secret about these broad, sweeping claims by police of "law enforcement exemptions" from #Oklahoma's public records laws is that there's actually nothing in the law that prohibits them releasing most records. They just don't want to, and feel they don't have to.
Erin Christy@Erin_ChristyMar 11
You'd have to live under a rock to have never heard a publicly released 911 call... yet @tulsapolice claims all 911 calls in Oklahoma are protected under Title 51. I just got a 911 call from the DA's office last year.

Oklahoma is racing to become a data center hub. But there’s a question looming over every development: What about the water? Our investigation found massive server facilities already using huge volumes — with more projects on the way. Read the story: readfrontier.org/stories/as-…

As data centers boom in Oklahoma, so does water demand

From Pryor to Stillwater and Muskogee, local officials say supplies are sufficient, even as Google alone used more than 1.1 billion gallons in a single year.

Posts like this are a painful but useful case study in what we disability scholars call “carceral sanism” which is a kind of maximalist fusion of “mental health stigma” with punitive social logics. It frames visible crisis as a breach of public order, not evidence of abandonment
daniela @daniela__127 My husband was on a crowded train yesterday when a homeless woman got on, pulled down her pants, and peed all over the train in front of everyone. He hasn't stopped talking about it for the past 24+ hrs. It is the single most traumatizing thing that's happened to him in nyc.

mindy @mindyisser agree that this probably isn't the single most traumatizing thing someone could see in a city but it's still not normal or OK and the left shouldn't act like it is. we all deserve to live in functioning cities where public displays of anti social behavior are not tolerated

The fact that the most rabid fascists are totally willing to tout body cameras on DHS officers as a reform should, at the very least, make you very skeptical of body cameras. They're not some progressive reform. They're used for surveillance, copaganda, & increasing budgets.
