Hey, #Texas buddies. The #TX Supremes have decided to make life miserable for everyone connected to #hemp or #cannabis in the state, banning flower and seed sales as of the end of this month, in a couple of days. I just did a quick buying survey of the headshops near me, and stocks are low...I may have just cleaned out a store, and I didn't spend a whole lot. (Granted, my dude gave me a 50% discount.) ;) #THC drinks, gummies and topicals will all still be legal. Why...I cannot even begin to hazard a guess, but if I were a gambling woman, I'd bet on donations to political people. https://www.statesman.com/business/article/texas-thc-products-legal-after-july-31-22347741.php

I got an email from Ana Gonzalez, of #Texas #aflcio about the ongoing #strike of 70 #skilled #workers represented by the Texas City Metal Trades Council at Ashland Specialty Chemicals in Texas City, #TX.

Workers are asking for our help to send messages to Ashland Plant Manager Darren Becker, urging him to come back to the table in good faith.

In negotiations, Ashland management sought to:

  • Force employees to perform work outside their craft, creating serious #safety risks for members and the surrounding #community,

  • Slash the paid sick time members earned over decades of bargaining, and

  • #Outsource the storeroom to eliminate #union #jobs.

These workers only want to keep Ashland safe and are fighting to keep the #benefits they’ve earned.

She included this link, with q preformatted #email that you can customize and send.

My ex's father worked for Ashland, and it killed him (he died of #leukemia less than a year after the wedding). Worker safety is important.

Another #vigil for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is happening this Saturday on July 11th at 10am at the SEIU Texas Office, 3219 Harrisburg Blvd., Houston, TX 77003. If Houstonians were unable to attend last night's vigil, this is another opportunity to mourn and join with community. 🕯️🧡 #Houston #HTX #ICE #murder #ICEout #TX #Texas

NEW: Ken Paxton Vowed to Crack Down on “Illegal Voting.” He May Have Violated Texas Election Law. The Texas attorney general appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite his warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” https://www.propublica.org/article/ken-paxton-voter-registration-election-law?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #Texas #KenPaxton #Vote #Election #Law #TX #USPolitics

NEW: “He Didn’t Need to Die.” How an Immigration Detention Center Repeatedly Failed to Address a Mental Health Crisis. Geraldo Lunas Campos repeatedly raised concerns about his mental health before he died at Camp East Montana. Records paint a portrait of how the Texas facility’s staff failed to adequately respond. https://www.propublica.org/article/camp-east-montana-mental-health-immigration?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #Texas #MentalHealth #Immigration #TX #Health #Medicine #Immigrants
