I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ.

This is very concerning and affecting all TEXANS.
With the mad dash for AI data centers to pop up all over TX, our water is being targeted.

🚨RURAL WELL OWNERS: 🚨

PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT TEXAS LEGASLTURE IS PLANNING

The 2027 Draft of the Texas Water Plan makes one thing very clear:

Texas is preparing for massive future water demand and groundwater is a major target!!!

Now is your turn to stand up and have your voices heard.

The state is openly discussing:

• groundwater development

• streamlined permitting

• desalination

• aquifer storage

• AI/data center demand

• expanding infrastructure projects

They are projecting nearly $174 BILLION in future water infrastructure needs.

What does that mean for rural communities?

It means places with strong aquifers, open land, and private wells are increasingly being looked at for large-scale groundwater production and export projects.

Many people still think:

“They can’t take our water.”

But once contracts, pipelines, permits, and investors get involved, things change quickly.

RIGHT NOW the state is accepting PUBLIC COMMENT on the Draft 2027 State Water Plan and this is one of the few chances rural Texans have to get concerns officially on record.

📍 PUBLIC HEARING:

May 27, 2026 at 1:00 PM

Stephen F. Austin Building

1700 North Congress Ave.

Austin, Texas

(Also available virtually through Microsoft Teams)

🗣 HOW TO SPEAK UP:

• Submit written comments to the Texas Water Development Board before May 29

• Attend the public hearing in person or online

• Contact your state representatives and groundwater district officials

• Ask questions about groundwater export projects in your area

• Educate your neighbors and fellow landowners

If you care about:

• your private well

• water quality

• aquifer depletion

• agriculture

• future generations

NOW is the time to speak up.

Because once these projects are built, it’s a whole lot harder to stop them.

Spraying one dandelion with Roundup can kill over 100 bees.

The flower doesn't die instantly. Bees will keep visiting it for days, taking the poison back to their nests and hives.

Never spray dandelions in spring and summer.

They're one of the first major food sources for emerging pollinators.

Let them bloom or remove them by hand.

The Trump administration has lifted the ban on cyanide bombs that kill animals.

This action, carried out discreetly and quietly, was outrageous to those of us who know what this diabolical device does to animals.

Nearly 50,000 people in the Lake Tahoe area have been told that their utility will stop providing power to them, because it's redirecting that power to data centers.

NV Energy, the Nevada utility that has supplied most of Lake Tahoe’s electricity for decades, says that next year it will stop servicing homes in the area, and instead direct that electricity to the growing demand from Nevada data centers.

Northern Nevada is one of the fastest-growing data-center corridors in the country.

Don’t let them destroy the biggest cave system in the world or drain/poison it’s underground river
Mammoth caves is a national treasure and a wonder of the entire world

The Trump administration plans to remove regulations on ethylene oxide, allowing 8 tons of carcinogenic gas to be released in low-income neighborhoods.

At least 32,000 gallons of jet fuel has leaked from a military base into Maryland watersheds.

The Defense Department refused to disclose the spill for at least 3 months.

PLEASE SHARE. This is what @kevinolearytv is going to do to Utah. It’s going to be the largest data center in the WORLD. Twice as big as Manhattan. They are going to destroy over 40 THOUSAND acres of land to build this. This will not only hurt the people of Utah, this is going to damage the environment and affect the entire world. Please share this information and urge the people you know to speak up.

“Calling won’t do anything” saying nothing is worse than making the effort to try and stop this from happening. If enough of us called and demanded for the commission to change their decision they would feel pressured to do so.

Below is the contact information for the commission members, the governor, and senator of Utah.

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?

Corpus Christi plans to declare a 'water emergency.' What does that mean?

No modern American city has ever run out of water. But chances are rising that Corpus Christi could be the first

By Dylan Baddour, Neena Satija, Emily Salazar

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

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.

A Palestinian man was shot in the head today while riding his bicycle, reportedly by Israeli forces.

He was known in his community for feeding cats every day.

We don't hate them enough.

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

Texas needs at least $174 billion to avoid water crisis, state says.

That new amount is more than double the amount predicted four years ago. The new forecast comes as supply is already drying up. https://t.co/Gh1NsCu69O

No one ever recovers from this. Not an adult, and most definitely not a child.
