Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

These people already have my voter roll. They are already operating with impunity. When is it too late?

And now they are blaming the governor for not turning over voter rolls. Speaking as a citizen who has always voted blue, and lives in a state that freely turned over our information, there is no reason to do what they are doing.

I think I will be leaving #teaching this year. I cannot fix a broken system, and I refuse to contribute to it. I feel like that only leaves me one choice. Hopefully I can move into museum or curriculum writing. Good luck #Texas students. You will need it more than I can explain.

*Cries in Texan. Early voting is happening right now. Yes on Prop A and no on everything else! They have been in control since β€˜94. If they wanted to fix it they could, and would.

A map of the United States showing the location of public land agency offices and recreational facilities that are closed or short-staffed due to a government shutdown. The title text reads: "The government shutdown furloughed 29,000 employees, nearly half the current public land agency workforce."

The map shows circles of varying sizes overlaid on counties, with size indicating the number of offices and facilities (50, 200, or 500+ assets). The colors indicate the agency:

Dark Green: National Park Service

Light Green: Forest Service

Blue: Fish and Wildlife Service

Orange: Bureau of Land Management

The heaviest concentration of affected areas is in the western and southeastern United States. The source is the Center for American Progress (CAP).

This is what 32 desks look like in a classroom that can genuinely fit them. I am one of the lucky ones as my class sizes are capped due to lab space. Just thought a visual would be helpful when we say this is too much for quality instruction. #Teach #Texas #Chemistry

I can't imagine being a safe white person in the US right now quietly watching everyone get arrested, abducted, disappeared, and killed.

We should never have to explain what white supremacy is after this moment.

Trying to figure out my seating charts. When you have 30+ kids per class and 10 of them have ADHD. They ALL have preferred seating. I can’t seat them next to each other. This will be the third seating chart. We’ve been in school a month. I fear parent conferences are next. CLASS SIZE MATTERS! #Teach
