Watch her reaction to being asked to wear a mask at Trader Joe’s. This level of outrage is tolerated by our society in that instance. What is the commensurate level of outrage for witnessing your people targeted, murdered & brutalized? Asking for a friend. https://t.co/5LNOTgz17y

UT researchers are doing their thing:

Hydrogel uses solar energy to produce clean, drinkable water.

[UT Austin @UTAustin]

More than 2 billion people live without access to clean water.

But what if this vital resource could be pulled out of thin air?

A breakthrough by engineers at @CockrellSchool does just that 🚰🤘

6ix9ine testifies against Nine Trey Bloods gang members facing several federal charges, many of which he shares with the accused as a result of mutual funding... interesting to see him on the witness stand this time around. https://t.co/un5SLwZEN9 via @pitchfork
