Today marks one week since Biden waived 26 environmental & public health laws to rush construction of a border wall that he admits is useless. With this decision, Biden has become the first Democratic president ever to gut legal protections for border communities & wildife.

A&M’s Title IX office is understaffed and facing record complaints, officials say. Three Aggie women came forward with reports of Title IX inaction and months-long delays that led to alleged offenders receiving no consequences or disciplinary action. thebatt.com/news/title-ix-…

A tiny minority of the “sacrifices” of animals for biology research are actually needed. There is an enormous amount of unneeded murder of animals for research of poor quality, and many researchers don’t take ethical considerations / guidelines, e.g. the 3 Rs, seriously.

1. Earlier this month, a mysterious woman appeared before a school board in Texas and claimed that, when she was 11, she READ A SCHOLASTIC BOOK THAT SPARKED A DEBILITATING PORN ADDICTION. We investigated. And it's ABSOLUTELY WILD what is happening. 🧵

Interesting that Florida State gets knocked for not looking as impressive without Jordan Travis against Louisville but not much is said about Bama needing a miracle to beat a 6-6 Auburn team.

The first in what may be a tidal wave of product liability lawsuits has been filed against a major manufacturer of biosolids-based fertilizer for damages caused by toxic chemicals they contain. Read the release: ow.ly/gSQS50QFCRM #agriculture #pfas #PublicHealth

'Forever chemicals' (PFAS) are everywhere and can be chronically toxic at just ~1 part per billion (ppb). How is biodiversity affected? In birds & rodents at a New Mexico wetland, we found absurd levels — averaging >10,000 ppb. Check out our new paper: authors.elsevier.com/a/1icAg3Ao67R8u

So it turns out bird flu has been ripping through US dairy factories for months and we’re just realizing this now because the USDA exempted farms from testing and even concealed data. The underrated context to all this is that Biden’s Secretary of Agriculture is a milk lobbyist.

We have filed a NOI to sue EPA for their failure to regulate #PFAS in biosolids. This case is heartbreaking, and it's happening all over the country. wfaa.com/article/news/i…

Soooooooo, as awkward as this is for me, I am asking if any kind followers could help us with our moving expenses? We are looking at $10,000+ in moving expenses, and no relocation assistance from our new jobs. Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thank you! gofund.me/db7ffff2

Good for Johnson County, TX! They are asking Governor Abbott to join in on declaring the county a "disaster area" due to #PFAS contamination of farmlands from #biosolids. We need to protect our farmers, their farms, and our food supply! johnsoncountytx.org/home/showpubli…

My town is home to large roosts of purple martins. When I say large, I mean thousands. They roost in trees at the nearby university (Texas A&M), or at least they TRY to. The university has now hired a company to purposely scare away these large flocks of roosting martins.
