The water crisis in South Texas just hit a breaking point. 📉 At least six towns—Taft, Ingleside, Aransas Pass, Three Rivers, Orange Grove, and Alice—have all issued disaster declarations in the last two weeks. The regional supply is failing, and demand is officially higher than what’s left in the reservoirs. While small towns are begging for help, the priorities are clear: One Exxon-SABIC plastics plant nearby is burning through more water than all 300,000 residents of Corpus Christi combined. The state says they need $174B for long-term water infrastructure, but they’ve only put up $20B. That’s a $154B gap while towns are literally being forced to drill emergency wells just to keep the taps running. Corpus Christi is already projecting mandatory 25% cuts by September for residents and hospitals, but they're still protecting the industrial heavy-hitters to avoid "wrecking the economy." How are residents being asked to cut back while corporations keep getting protected? #DemsUnited #Climate


A homeland worth fighting for. May God continue to bless the most beautiful nation on earth.

The Texas Tech system will prohibit Masters and PhD students from earning degrees with theses or dissertations on sexual orientation or gender identity. A blatantly unconstitutional attack on academic freedom.

Texas communities will need to spend $174 billion in the next 50 years to avert a severe water crisis, a new state analysis revealed last week. From @TexasTribune: kut.org/energy-environ…

NEW: Corpus Christi, Texas could be the first American city to run out of water. Working people face drought restrictions, but oil and gas companies guzzle water — and pay less than everyone else. Six huge corporate water users consume 3x as much as everyone in town.
