NEWS The Ohio Division of Wildlife tells TMZ that the Black man holding geese in the photo that went viral was actually picking up the geese after they were hit in a car accident. As previously reported, the incident didn’t even occur in Springfield, Ohio; it took place in Columbus, and there’s no evidence that the man is Haitian or an immigrant. Full Story: bit.ly/3B2MF5b

Texas' new all-time winter peak, is 76,340 megawatts. And at the peak, wind power produced ~23 gigawatts, or 30% of peak demand. Not coincidentally, despite the recorded breaking demand, power prices were low. Thank one of the 30,000 Texans working in the wind industry! #txlege

A Florida 14-year-old shot his sister to death during an argument over Christmas gifts. Moments later, he was shot by his 15-year-old brother. No adults have been arrested; only children given access to loaded guns. This doesn’t happen in peer nations. nydailynews.com/2023/12/26/f…

For the first time in a generation, Texans were more likely to die of gunshot wounds than car crashes in 2021. Experts worry a lack of research on the issue has hampered the search for solutions. READ MORE: trib.al/FJgm6O2

The rate of gun deaths among teens in particular has increased. In 2012, state figures show, roughly three out of every 100,000 lives between the ages of 12 and 17 were ended with guns. Last year, gun deaths for that age group jumped to about eight out of 100,000 Texas teens.

3. Multiple studies have found that voucher programs promote segregation, including a Century foundation report finding that “voucher programs are more likely to increase school segregation than to promote integration or maintain the status quo.” tcf.org/content/report/priva…

Never forget, this guy has campaigned for the #SchoolVouchers push exclusively at private schools. At the end of the day this is about grabbing a new tax break for existing private school parents. texasmonthly.com/news-politi… – at East Lansing, MI
Special Session #3 of the Texas Legislature will begin Monday, October 9th at 1:00 PM.  Now is the time for Texas to deliver school choice for every family, protect Texans and Americans against Biden’s border crisis, and ban all COVID vaccine mandates. Let's get to work.

Hornsby Bend & Austin's Colony are some of the communities that are a #FoodDesert. We can't choose to go to the store with the nicer produce because there isn't one. @HEB @Randalls_Stores Fiesta or anyone else, come build here. #redlining is shortening the lives of #BIPOC people.
