Recently, an Infowars writer was gunned down outside his home trying to stop a burglary. These criminals were enabled by the very lax gun laws that his boss, Alex Jones, and the NRA have been pushing for years. #GunControlNow #Texas https://www.anarchistfederation.net/infowars-writer-gunned-down-outside-his-home-and-of-course-alex-jones-blames-liberals/

"People are fleeing Austin, #Texas in droves. The city lost -13,500 ppl to outbound migration in 2024.

The biggest drop the city has ever experienced.

This outmigration has now caused Austin's #housing market to collapse. With home prices down 19.5% over the last two+ years.

Some of these ppl leaving Austin head to the suburbs like Williamson & Hays County, others are going back to CA & NY."
-N Gerli

It's hell living in TX -many ppl are fleeing the fascist state.

A midwife in Texas has been charged with a second-degree felony, which comes with up to 20 years in prison. Her crime? Assisting in 'illegal' abortions.

Let the name Maria Margarita Rojas go down in history as a hero that stood against an unjust system to stand on the correct side of history. 🇺🇸

The stmnt said that she had been “charged with the illegal performance of an abortion,” which has been a second-degree #felony since the state’s near-total #AbortionBan took effect in 2022. She was also charged w/practicing #medicine without a license.

…The bans on abortions around the country have largely relied on the threat of prosecution, w/few instances in which #criminal cases have actually been filed. #Abortion providers in #Texas & other states w/ abortion bans ceased operations after the decision. #Women seeking abortions have instead had to travel to states where the procedure remains legal or have received abortion medication through the mail.

Newborn babies have been exposed to measles at a Texas hospital and are receiving antibodies to protect them, NBC reports. The virus was brought into the University Medical Center Children's Hospital by a mother in labor — doctors didn't realize until after her admission that she was infected, and it's unclear when she tested positive. The immunoglobulin injections have been given to babies as young as three days old. A 2021 study found this therapy is highly effective in protecting exposed newborns who are too young to be vaccinated. Emergency masking procedures have also been implemented.
