Never before made public until today, the Russians attacked the train carrying US General Ben Hodges, roof exploding. This was amid a nationwide Russian sabotage operation that attacked trains in 5 locations in the Netherlands. European governments are doing everything to keep these growing attacks quiet because admitting that they're happening means they'd need to respond, and Russians have Carte Blanche.

@lrnlrsn @WillHBostwick @TexasMonthly Wonderful piece Will.

52 percent of the flora between Hunt and Comfort was lost in July’s flood. @WillHBostwick writes for @TexasMonthly about the effort to bring back the area’s genetically unique bald cypress trees texasmonthly.com/travel/replant…

Yes on Prop 4 Texas. It’s not a tax increase. It’s a water security increase!

@BrandonMarshTX @BikeReg I hope so too. This is year two of the event and it is already growing up from year one. I think it will keep growing. And we can chat about rides in the area in the meantime.

@BBrosAdam @BikeReg Hope it comes around in 2026. Been looking for something like this but have plans already for 2025.

Just @BikeReg'd for Texas Three Step 2025 - bikereg.com/texas-three-st…

I just submitted a public comment to save the Roadless Rule—a popular conservation policy that protects 58 million acres of public lands from extraction. Please join me. There's power in numbers and submitting a comment only takes a few minutes: p2a.co/hgnW4dO

No one in America, including public and political figures, should fear for their safety while attending college events or walking our streets. There’s no excuse for political violence in America. Ever. bradyunited.org/press/charlie-…

As discussion continues around the Howard-Solstice transmission line project, The Big Bend Sentinel took a closer look at the conservation concerns being raised by some of the proposed routes AEP Texas and CPS Energy have mapped. 🔗bigbendsentinel.com/2025/08/20/bra…

Texans need more reliable power. But we must pursue that goal without damaging the irreplaceable natural systems we already rely on. Let's save the San Saba River from the Big Hill power line project. youtube.com/watch?v=08Srps…
