Earlier: Over the past several years, the #Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has quietly built out an expansive #surveillance apparatus—one that’s increasingly powered by artificial intelligence. Experts say these tools put our privacy at risk. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-dps-surveillance-arsenal-artificial-intelligence-lege/
The Texas Observer · Texas’ AI-Powered Surveillance Arsenal Has Ballooned. Proposed Laws Provide Few Guardrails.Operation Lone Star has turbocharged DPS’ surveillance capabilities. Lawmakers say they want to prevent Texas from becoming a police state but have filed only modest legislation to regulate use of AI.

—
The federal criminal investigation was the most serious legal threat the once-embattled Republican faced. With the probe now over, Paxton is gearing up to likely challenge U.S. Sen. John Cornyn in 2026.

The largest #measles outbreak by far is in West #Texas, where the #disease is spreading quickly in remote, rural areas where the #vaccination rates are low. The outbreak has also spread across the boarder into #NewMexico, but the outbreak there is moving more slowly due to higher vaccination rates.
The US now has >600 #measles cases in 22 states, acc/to the #CDC [& who knows if that’s being accurately reported]. That includes 481 cases in #Texas alone. The country has now reported >2X the number of measles cases this year than were reported in all of 2024.
The CDC says there have been 6 measles #outbreaks so far this year.

Presented as a means to “restore the rule of law” to the United States’ southern border, hundreds of miles of border walls have been erected by successive presidential administrations. This new book claims it is the walls themselves that transcend the law: https://www.texasobserver.org/the-lawless-border-wall/
The Texas Observer · The Lawless Border WallThe application of waivers and the interpretation of their scope has repeatedly expanded, such that border walls are now privileged over all potential legal constraints short of the U.S. Constitution.

A new documentary, “The Librarians,” premiered at SXSW last month. It focuses on librarians at the heart of right-wing culture war attacks across America. @TexasObserver’s Josephine Lee sees heroism and hope in the film. “At a moment when our institutions of learning seem to be engulfed in flames, incited by right-wing witch hunts of diversity, equity, and inclusion, ‘The Librarians’ reminds us how we got here and reveals, perhaps, how we can get out,” she writes.

“School boards and boards of trustees have been infiltrated by a lot of right-wing politician. By using the board of trustees to implement pieces of anti-LGBTQ and anti-DEI law, it makes it really clear that this bill is not about parental rights, but it’s about pushing forth a political agenda.” https://www.texasobserver.org/senate-gop-parental-rights-bills-school-control/
