1/ Pressure is mounting to stop Rodney Reed's execution.

There are also multiple appeals in the courts.

But Reed — who's guilt is questioned — is still set to die on Wednesday. bit.ly/357Yd1E #txlege
2/ Reed, now 51, has been on death row for more than 20 years after being convicted in the 1996 Bastrop murder of 19-year-old Stacey Stites.

His guilt in the murder has always been shrouded in doubt. bit.ly/357Yd1E #txlege
3/ Reed's attorneys have filed multiple late appeals with evidence they say further emphasizes their long-standing argument.

They argue that Reed is innocent in Stites’ murder and evidence instead implicates her fiancé, Jimmy Fennell. bit.ly/357Yd1E #txlege

1/ The Walmart in El Paso where a gunman killed nearly two dozen people and shot dozens more in August is set to reopen today.

The news is setting off a wave of mixed emotions in a community still grieving. bit.ly/33KI1n2
2/ For people like Edgar Ceniceros, who went to high school a few blocks away, the store’s reopening was inevitable.

He hopes it returns to the normal hustle-and-bustle as one of the city’s busiest retail centers.

But he knows it won’t be easy. bit.ly/33KI1n2
3/ “This is a place where a lot of people died. It’s going to be hard. Maybe I am going to cry, but we need to keep going, we need to be strong.” bit.ly/33KI1n2

WildEarth Guardians' Climate and Energy Program
@ClimateWest
Court win blocking #Colorado #coal mine expansion a victory for #climate, #publiclands. @WildEarthGuard's @JeremyJNichols1:

"it’s a resounding rebuke of the Trump administration’s attempts to sidestep our environmental laws to appease the coal industry,"

It comes on heels of longstanding efforts to defend #NationalForest lands, #climate from Arch Coal's attempts to expand West Elk mine.

Not only does mine's #coal fuel #climatecrisis, mine vents massive amounts of #methane, as we explain in this video.

Read on for full saga!
We first filed suit in 2008 challenging #methane venting at West Elk mine. We were represented by @TedZukoski, a long-time defender of #publiclands and #climate.

Mine is largest single industrial source of methane emissions in #Colorado,

Thread: Careering through life as an #UndercoverAutistic

I've had 30+ jobs in 40+ years but then I only discovered last year I'm #ActuallyAutistic

As a child my career aspirations were:
a) nun
b) lighthouse keeper
c) almoner*

*hospital social worker #AllAutistics 1/
In the sixth form my art teacher got me a Saturday job at a picture framer's. My main role was making excuses when customers phoned.

A trip to buy supplies with the owner turned dodgy but luckily I had the presence of mind to get away.

#ActuallyAutistic #AllAutistics 2/
In my university vacations I worked back to back shifts in a bakery and local cinema to save up money.

On my first shift in the cinema the senior usherette threw hot tea over me. I was promoted to cashier and removed to the box office, out of harm's way #ActuallyAutistic 3/

#REDFLAG: After a setback in the Supreme Court, Trump asks his lawyers if he can DELAY THE CENSUS

The census is constitutionally-mandated to begin in April 2020, under Article I, Section 2.

Trump is asking if he can IGNORE the Constitution b/c he doesn't like a SCOTUS decision.
#RELATED: The Supreme Court ruled against the Trump Administration's proposal to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census...for now.

It would've led to a severe undercount, which would've rigged elections and resources in favor of white Republicans.
#HUGEWIN: The Trump Administration will begin printing the 2020 Census WITHOUT the citizenship question.

After missing their deadline, some feared Trump may actually try to defy the Constitution and the law.

This is an incredible victory for democracy!

Trust Your Body Project
@Whitneycatalano
Can we stop pretending like diets in 2019 are any different than old diets just because they have been repackaged for health?

Keto is Atkins
WW Freestyle is still Weight Watchers
Intermittent Fasting is just skipping meals
Low carb is the new low fat

& they all still don’t work
Quick note: I’m going to do a thread later on the evidence to support what I’m saying

Also: I have a podcast called Trust Your Body Project if ya wanna check it out. It’s about intuitive eating, body image, and mental health

OKAY RESEARCH TIME! Let's do this, people. I guarantee I'll miss things and this won't be comprehensive, but I'm gonna try my damn best to lay this out. Are you ready?!
