[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

Crime police is based on fear not facts. "A new report adds to a growing line of research showing that police departments don’t solve serious or violent crimes with any regularity, and in fact, spend very little time on crime control." https://t.co/8ZCXE8jii6

#OTD on June 14, 1901 Gregorio Cortéz killed 2 Texas law officers in self-defense and led Texas Rangers on a nearly 10 day chase through south central Texas. Cortez was regarded as a "bandit” by the law but became a hero to many Mexican Americans. /1

Almost verbatim what I was told growing up… but w than added: just accept this is at is; don’t waste time or energy complaining about it; just be excellent.

You know who’s name hasn’t been mentioned for having classified documents… President @BarackObama.

You know why?

Racism trains successful Black people at a very young age to walk the line. That “you can’t do what they do”. That you have to be twice as good to get half as much.

Our local news reporters are mostly propaganda arms for the local institutional elite. @callerdotcom @kiii3news @KRIS6News check out the coverage of #desalination & #FossilFuel industry & #pollution & conflicts of interest. It’s #gross

[Mike Elk (Mike Elk on Bluesky - Moving There) @MikeElk]

Its true - a lot local reporters, particularly those who came up covering crime stories (yuck), have a deference to authority.

There a lot of great local reporters but also a lot of ambulance chasers & access oriented local reporters! https://t.co/9EUF4mmX6D

[The Lever @LeverNews]

🧵There was one big surprise in the debt deal: a provision expediting construction of a controversial fossil fuel pipeline — and attempting to block courts from hearing challenges to its legality.

We asked how that provision made it in. Here's what we found 👇

[The Nation @thenation]

46 House Democrats defied their president and their party leaders to vote against a deal that harms families, the poor, and the environment.

I wonder if they suggest joining/supporting EJ groups or Protesting or pushing to leave fossil fuels in the ground or To push the elected officials to pass strict laws against fossil fuel industry. Or demand public transportation. You know stuff that has a real impact

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Podcast: A lot of us question how much we can minimize our carbon footprint in our day-to-day lives. Should we go vegan? Recycle more? Or just never fly again? In today’s episode, The Post’s climate coach, Michael Coren, answers your questions. https://t.co/cko3yCjg0G

If @cityofcc wld actually cut out the corporate welfare, we wld be able to afford to have our libraries open on weekends and in the evenings. #WeDeserveBetter End #CorporateWelfare

[City of Corpus Christi @cityofcc]

While our public libraries are closed today, we would like to say "Happy National Librarian Day" to all of our librarians and library staff. If you visit a library this week, make sure to say "thank you" for everything they do. #CClibraries #LibrarianDay #ThankaLibrarian

NEW: In @ScienceMagazine today, our latest peer-reviewed research shows Exxon scientists predicted global warming with shocking skill & accuracy between 1977 & 2003, contradicting the company's decades of climate denial. THREAD.

People don't understand how hope works. It doesn't come from downplaying scary truths or from false optimism. Everyone sees through that. Instead, it comes from hard work, from solidarity, from courage. Hope comes from joining together and doing something. Hope comes from action.

Sociology is a tool kit. In 1959, C.Wright Mills wrote that the sociological imagination is the most needed quality of mind. I am really feeling that today.
