"The state has for years tracked the number of pregnant people in county jails and incidents of restraints — but now, Texas is also collecting information about their prenatal care, mental health indicators, pregnancy outcomes and more. Advocates hope this effort will provide more accountability to a system that incarcerates hundreds of pregnant people each month."

People are all “ how could #Epstein happen? How could grown men abuse hundreds of girls and there be no consequences?”
This week, at a high school “ #ICE out” protest in #Buda, TX, a grown man, 45-year-old Chad Michael #Watts, was so incensed by a little girl, that he stopped his car, got out and attacked her, taking three other people to pull him off.
Was he initially arrested? Na. Was he only arrested when a ton of video came out? Yep. Is he a Magat? Of course he is. Did our governor have any words of comfort for this child, or suggest the man did anything wrong? Don’t be ridiculous.
He and the #GOP are cutting funding to schools that obey the constitution by allowing protests.
That’s how #Epstein happened. Girls aren’t “people” to far too many men. Sure a little girl got pummeled by a grown ass man, but how very dare she have an opinion he didn’t like?
“Because there are already unmet needs, including the current 4.8-million-acre-foot shortage, data centers’ unknown unmet needs are poised to place unprecedented stress on local #water supplies across the state.” https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-ai-data-centers-water-usage-regulation/

New training from a Texas regulator about when doctors can legally terminate a pregnancy comes nearly five years after the state passed its abortion ban in 2021.
Experts contend the guidance can’t capture all complications that arise in pregnancy.

"State Rep. Erin Zwiener, a Democrat whose district encompasses Buda, said, “Instead of calling for justice against the grown man that assaulted a girl, Governor Abbott is celebrating the arrest of students and calling for the criminal investigation of #schools and teachers,” she said. “He is also threatening the funding of our #school districts""
