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.

1/ When his 7-year-old daughter ran to report a flooded bathroom, Mitch Meredith assumed a burst pipe, maybe a backed-up toilet.
Then he saw the foul-smelling black fluid covering the floor… 🧵

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.

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.

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.
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.

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
ALT 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.
ALT 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.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says that every DHS officer deployed to Minneapolis will be issued a body-worn camera. apnews.com/article/immigrati…

OEM is asking residents and business owners who have been affected by the winter storm to report online at damage.ok.gov. Reporting helps emergency managers better understand the impacts to Oklahoma communities and can help connect residents to state or local resources.
ALT Have damage or other impacts caused by the winter storm? Report at damage.ok.gov Please be sure to include: + Roof damage from heavy sleet or snow + Broken pipes / damage from broken pipes + If you've been displaced by the storm + Other significant impacts *Reporting helps EMs understand community impacts and can help connect residents to resources

A significant winter storm is still on track for our area this weekend.
There will be periods when there isn't much precipitation - much of the day today and tomorrow afternoon. Heavier snow/sleet/freezing rain is expected later tonight and again tomorrow night.

I arrived in the U.S. eight weeks ago to report on how the administration’s immigration crackdown was playing out from the front lines.
What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior.

the first Cop City RICO trial starts today, two years after the indictment (a nonsensical document that sought to criminalize basic acts of mutual aid, among other things) came down. what happens to Ayla King, first of the 61 people to be tried, will impact protest everywhere.
