On this Texas Independence Day, we commemorate the spirit and resilience of Texans.
The “Republic of Texas Legation Memorial Act” which I successfully authored in 2020, honors the historic delegation of Texans who came to Washington as diplomats to negotiate our joining the Union. It will serve as a celebration of the Texan spirit here in our nation’s capital.
Wheh. Then, in the comments, desperate to justify her xenophobia she lies that their music is blasted airport-wide. It isn’t. NONE of the live stages are broadcast throughout the airport. They play a specially curated all-Austin KUTX mix. Wheh.
SpaceX is planning to build a $24 billion data center and power plant just outside of Brownsville on property that the city had just de-annexed earlier this year at the company’s request, circumventing Brownsville’s data center moratorium that went into effect last week. https://t.co/d62OXcCDwp
@jmontforttx 30 years from now the research will clearly show particulate matter and emissions causing a generation of chronic health conditions and cancers in the surrounding populations
It seems the operators are covering their tracks. Starting today, over 120 of the accounts I identified have now been deleted.
So, by popular request, I decided to open-source the 100k+ tweets across 400+ accounts I used as the primary data source for this investigation. I believe this is a floor, and that there are many more out there I didn’t capture (every time I went looking for more, I found them, so I just had to stop the search somewhere).
In particular, I hope this helps journalists who want to look into the potential campaigns focused on Israel, Qatar, pharmacy benefit managers, and more that I didn’t really explore in my own investigation.
Note that, while I’m confident in the claims my article makes in terms of the existence and scale of the operation, I think it’s possible this full dataset contains minor classification errors at the level of individual accounts and tweets — these shouldn’t impact the overall conclusions, but it does mean this resource should be seen a starting point for further research, not an open-and-shut case when it comes to any individual example.

Saw someone say, “The internet was once a library and they turned it into a store,” and if you’re young I don’t think you can imagine how different the web used to be.
