Happy #HagfishDay! We found this #hagfish inside a sponge while exploring Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in 2018. The #Pacifichagfish (Eptatretus stoutii) is a slender, slimy, primitive fish found in cold waters worldwide.

like i really can't stress enough how absurd it is for a map that completely changes so many people's congressional districts to go through the entire legislative process and get signed into law while the people in charge never have to answer anything or listen to anyone's input

i mean now the map is in federal court to decide whether the state is allowed to use it in 2026 elections and even today in the hearing republicans still won't really directly say who made the map like as if it's still a secret? after it already passed??

Houston needs a master plan insulated from the whims of mayoral administrations that come and go.

The boundary for the proposed Scooter-Free zone is identical to the current areas of Houston exempt from the city's minimum parking requirements.

On day one of the special session, Texas’s Republican leadership made it clear that their number one priority is to protect politicians over people. The president is weaponizing your state legislature to serve himself, not Texans. #txlege

Every year, guns kill 570 Asian Americans and 60 Pacific Islanders. Most of those deaths are suicides. At the AAPI Against Gun Violence summit in Chicago, we confronted what usually gets left out: the data, the grief, and the patterns this country refuses to face.

Today in 1853, City Council passes an ordinance prohibiting the firing of weapons within city limits.
