South TX Environmental Justice Network & @cyrustx are here at TX Capitol to urge TX House Reps to vote against HB 4660/SB 2188 & HB 4661 that would give away our Boca Chica beach to Elon Musk & criminalize beachgoers
@JanieLopezForTX@ElectAHinojosa@toddahunter@RepToniRoseTX
SpaceX's 2022 environmental assessment documents stated that a rocket launch at Boca Chica Beach would likely incinerate an ocelot.
They all knew this—U.S. Fish & Wildlife, regulators, local elected officials—they just don't care about ocelots.
**Update on fight against LNG in the RGV**
Rio Grande LNG wants to apply for a permit to almost double its fossil fuel facility.
It would be as destructive to the climate as 83 coal plants / 72 million cars yearly & be the biggest polluter in the RGV https://t.co/VrnMLYqV7A
These 4 House Dems just sold us out, siding with Republicans to pass one of the most dangerous voter suppression bills in decades.
It targets MILLIONS of voters: women, trans folks, young people, new citizens, veterans, rural communities & more.
Shameful. Spineless.
It’s been about two months since we last visited Elon Musk’s corner of Brownsville—and a lot has changed. New gated subdivisions have gone up, with more on the way. His new school appears to be complete, and there’s now a massive DOGE banner next to the statue of his head
The rain on the Texas-Mexico border this week has been like nothing we've seen in modern times, with devastation on both sides. I spoke with families in the Rio Grande Valley and Reynosa who say they feel they've been left on their own. https://t.co/oR7mfHPt27
Historic. Record-breaking. Devastating.
In less than 24 hours, the entire Rio Grande Valley #RGV was ravaged by what will surely be remembered as one of the worst storms in history.
My story for @mySA: https://t.co/v1lkY57Sqi
Elected officials are pushing some bad bills for SpaceX through the TX Leg. RGV folks are flooding @ElectAHinojosa & @JanieLopezForTX with calls opposing SB 2188 and SB2230. Boca Chica Beach is for the people, not for Elon Musk & his company town.

BREAKING: HUNDREDS of New Yorkers have swarmed and shut down the Tesla dealer in Manhattan. Six have been arrested after occupying the showroom. Protests are erupting across America to reject Musk's billionaire regime. This is how we beat fascism.
Mass direct action.
SpaceX just launched a dangerous rocket.
What did you experience from the SpaceX launch? Fill out the form, and we will send your experiences to elected officials who are supposed to represent us. Did your home shake? Did you see the beach scorched? Link: https://t.co/ldwnFpBbpw
Absolutely infuriating & disgusting that Cameron County & City of Brownsville @BTxRGV disregard the safety of our community to grab some pennies from a known fascist Elon Musk.
SpaceX plans to launch today. Here's a guide to prepare yourself:

Today, the Brownsville community yelled: ¡Fuera SpaceX, LNG, ICE! during the @CharroDays Parade downtown. @BTxRGV must kick these polluting corporations, SpaceX & LNG, out of our community event!
