“Our country is really headed in a direction away from caring about individuals, and it’s still so shocking.”
New today at Austin Free Press: I spoke with the ACLU of #Texas, and the parents of local transgender teenagers, about the impact of the recent Supreme Court ruling which upholds bans on gender-affirming care for minors. https://austinfreepress.org/supreme-sadness/

"Ted Cruz stayed in Greece and continued to sightsee as rescuers scoured the floodwaters in Central #Texas that killed at least 91 people, including 27 campers and counselors from a summer camp."
The #Texas Capitol in #Austin was evacuated Sat afternoon after authorities identified “a credible threat toward state lawmakers planning to attend a #protest” at the #Capitol complex, TX Dept of Public Safety said.
Around 1PM CT, the Capitol & its grounds were evacuated & remain temporarily closed. The investigation is ongoing.
In a post on X, TX Lt Gov Dan Patrick (R) said “a credible threat was made to possibly kill members of the Texas Legislature at the Capitol”

"In April, veteran meteorologists at the NWS were forced into early retirement. Forecasters warned at the time that their absence would 'cost lives.' They were right. With no one to read the models, sound the alarms, or coordinate warnings at the necessary scale, the people of Texas were left vulnerable. Nature played its part, yes—but policy turned a crisis into a mass casualty event."

Earlier: “If a young queer person fears that their parents might not be affirming, they need an outlet to process that. Having access to counselors at school can be a lifeline to young queer people who are trying to make sense of how they fit in the world and also trying to maintain a healthy relationship with their parents.” https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-lege-2025-anti-lgbtq-bills-passed/

Texas Overhauls Anti-Abortion Program That Spent Tens of Millions of Taxpayer Dollars With Little Oversight
—
After a ProPublica and CBS News investigation revealed that Texas’ funding pipeline for anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers is riddled with waste, nonprofits in the program must now provide a detailed accounting of their expenses.
#Trump #FEMA leader is a no-show after deadly #Texas #flooding
David Richardson, the agency’s acting administrator, has not been to the site of one of the nation’s deadliest #floods in the US in the past 25 years….
Public appearances by FEMA administrators, including meetings w/governors & survivors, have been a typical part of the nation’s #disaster response, reassuring the public of #federal support & showcasing political unity.

2 days after catastrophic #floods roared through Central #Texas, #FEMA did not answer nearly ⅔ of calls to its #disaster assistance line, acc/to documents reviewed by NYT.
The lack of responsiveness happened because the agency had #fired hundreds of contractors at call centers….

Everybody's been saying that the only warning system left for #Texas is Ted Cruz fleeing the state, so there needs to be a new system based on that.
Here it is!
As Heather Cox Richardson reports today, we now know that the day after the lethal floods occurred in Texas, Kristi Noem did not renew the contracts for four call center companies answering emergency calls for FEMA help — so that on July 6, FEMA answered only 35.8% of the calls it received and the following day, only 15.9%:
A federal judge ruled that the state of Texas for decades unnecessarily institutionalized 4,500 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in nursing home facilities, denying them services that are required under federal law.

Texas Officials Say They Didn’t See the Flood Coming. Oral Histories Show Residents Have Long Warned of Risks.

After a tragedy, records from local archives can help us understand how a community understands itself. Here’s some of what we learned following the devastating July 4 flooding in Texas.
https://www.propublica.org/article/texas-floods-oral-histories?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post
Today is the final day of #SCOTUS’ term — & the justices have left some of the most important & contentious cases until the end.
They are slated to release 6 opinions, including decisions that will deal with nationwide #injunctions on #Trump’s ban on #BirthrightCitizenship, whether #parents can opt their children out of #school lessons involving #LGBTQ #books, & a #Texas #law that requires age verification to view online #porn.
🧵
🦅 Can you say 🪶 #NATIVE. Not to be Confused with 🇮🇱 #SAVAGES.. 🪶 | 8 Native voices. 8 #Truths. Spoken from the past, for right now.
ANALOGY: #LAMP_STACK IS 🪶 #NATIVE_SOFTWARE for the #Internet. OPENAI OR CHAT ALPHEBET SOUP >> Next evolution of "Predictive Search Engine" >> NOTHING MORE!
📽️ https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yZu150nwgzg
Btw the so-called Savages are the GOOD GUYS;)
WHAT IS 🪶 #LAMP? You wanna Job? Learn Lamp which is infact #Basecamp for all #Software_Engineers. LAMP Should be a major computer science course offered in all MIDDLE SCHOOLS TO HIGH SCHOOL Just like learning foreign languages such as Mandarin Chinese.
Look at it this way. Software are Languages to learn, like Chinese, French, German, Italian etc., (aka #linguistics) in order TO #HEAR AND #LISTEN and #SPEAK (respond) ELECTRONICALLY = #LAMP.
#L stands for #LINUX when the masses just learned that #Windows, #Microsoft, #Telcom or #IBM does not Power the #Internet.. Only Linux.. = #NATIVE;) 🪶 i mean APACHE?? a dead giveaway ..COME ON?? replace with inferior #nginx bc it talks to python for IP THEFT!
So where have you all been FOR THE LAST 2.5 DECADES (25 YEARS) ???
A LAMP ( #Linux, #Apache, #MySQL, #Perl #PHP is one of the most #common_software_stacks for the #web (aka #WWW #World_Wide_Web) = INTERNET most #popular applications. Its A #generic_software_stack model
(🪶 NATIVE) has largely #interchangeable components.[1] To date no one has even touched on the potential of any of these new technologies other that big tech $50 dollar PYTHON scripts that have been modified for IP THEFT FOR THE LAST 2 DECADES.
📽️ https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yZu150nwgzg
E.G. #Python & #nginx replacements (recently btw) used for #IP_THEFT = #Interchangeable component
Each letter in the #acronym L.A.M.P. stands for one of its four #open_source #building_blocks:
#Linux for the #Operating_System
#Apache HTTP Server
#Maria_DB or #MySQL for the #relational_database_management system
Perl/PHP = PROGRAMMATIC!
🪶 Evolution
#Unix >> #Linux OS
Perl >> PHP >> SERVER SIDE programming languages for internet use.
#AI IS A #MYTH, A #LIE, A #WET_DREAM A #FANTASY!
Without a conscious?? 100% dog and pony show!
Hype = Bullsh*t!
These components in LAMP stack are present in the software repositories of most #Linux_distributions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_(software_bundle)
FOR THE LAST 2.5 DECADES THE THIEVES (AKA JEWS & USA .GOV) HAVE raped, pillage and murder the NATIVES since DAY 1! Including Priceless Technology only to be replaced with HYPE to Control and Manipulate Markets.
Robotics' are still in their infantile stages #mechanically_speaking. In Terms of #Intelligence.. REAL AI does not Exist >> What you are seeing now is 100% #HYPE. aka dog and pony show, at best. AI will never replicate the conscious thinking but can implement a regiment to conduct many repetitive MENIAL tasks.. (e.g. Flipping Burgers at Micky Dees ;) #Car_Wash enhancements.. grin
btw #Python is a 20 year " #after_thought, " that the kids use bc its an elementary Software Language for beginners (resurrected by India) and the easiest to use for #IP_THEFT & #Data_Scraping >> #DUMB_BOT_POWERED!!
CASE in POINT ➕ ➖ ➗ #CALCULATORS (aka #TEXAS? INSTRUMENTS ) were WRITTEN in #PYTHON back in the 80's = #MATH_CLASS #CHEATING on EXAMS;)
Remember? WE DO! The Poor kids could not afford a calculator. However After Christmas Holiday the rich kids (daddy/mommy made) would come to school bolstering their wonderful calculators (Unfair Advantages) that only ended up dumbing students down just like they have currently done with #DUMBPHONES and to #CONCEAL #NATVE_SOFTWARE_STACKS for our schools and TO THE MASSES??
= CENTRALIZED #Social_Oppression, #Institutional_Oppression, and #Economic_Oppression! #Woke_Now?
