Flicking through a newspaper in 2020, #SanjayAdhikari read a story that changed the direction of his life – a Nepalese statue of gods #Laxmi and #Narayan, was on display at the #Dallas Museum of #Art. “I could not sleep. Our god was locked inside a museum in the US,” he says.

What could go wrong?

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson joining the Republican Party

..."Unfortunately, many of our cities are in disarray. Mayors and other local elected officials have failed to make public safety a priority or to exercise fiscal restraint. Most of these local leaders are proud Democrats who view cities as laboratories for liberalism rather than as havens for opportunity and free enterprise," Johnson wrote.

He also wrote that he believes Democratic policies "exacerbate homelessness, coddle criminals and make it harder for ordinary people to make a living," while accusing Democrats of "virtue signalling." ...

The gunman who opened fire on an outlet mall in a #Dallas suburb Saturday, killing at least eight people, was a man in his early 30s who may have had white supremacist or neo-#Nazi beliefs, people familiar with the investigation said Sunday

#Ungarn hat knapp zehn Millionen, Amerika 330 Millionen Einwohner. Allein der Bundesstaat #Texas, in dem Viktor #Orbán am Donnerstag auf der Bühne steht, ist siebeneinhalb Mal so groß wie das osteuropäische Land. Doch der ungarische Ministerpräsident lässt es sich nicht nehmen, in seiner Rede immer wieder Parallelen zu ziehen. Orbán – „Führer eines Landes, das Tag für Tag von progressiven Liberalen belagert wird“ und „der einzige migrationsfeindliche Anführer auf unserem Kontinent“ – klagt gut fünfeinhalbtausend Meilen von Ungarn entfernt über die vermeintliche Gängelung aus #Brüssel. Etwas, das Texas ja auch von der Regierung in #Washington kenne. Ungarn, so viel immerhin gibt er zu, sei im Gegensatz zu den Vereinigten Staaten keine „globale Superpower“.

1.8 TB of #Police #Helicopter #Surveillance Footage Leaks #Online

source: https://www.wired.com/story/ddosecrets-police-helicopter-data-leak/

Some of the leaked #Dallas and #Atlanta footage reflects the types of uses you might expect from police helicopters: crowd surveillance over stadium parking lots on game day, for example, or officers pulling a car over. But other scenes in the footage have a more aimless, roving quality.

More workers are dying from #heat. #Texas may make it harder to protect them.

The strikers wanted the city council to require employers to provide drinking water and regular breaks to workers after a survey found that many construction workers were not receiving either, even though temperatures in #Austin have reached as high as 112 degrees F. The campaign was a success — that year, the city council passed an ordinance mandating that construction workers get a 10-minute water break every four hours. In 2015, #Dallas adopted a similar requirement.

But now, E&E News reports that Republican lawmakers in Texas are pushing a #bill that would eliminate these minimal protections that help workers survive on very hot days, which are increasing in number and severity with #climate change.

'Your child will wait for another child to die.' Amid #Covid-19 surge, #Dallas County has no pediatric #ICU beds left, county judge says

Source: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/13/us/dallas-county-no-pediatric-icu-beds-left/index.html

"That means if your child's in a car wreck, if your child has a congenital heart defect or something and needs an ICU bed, or more likely if they have Covid and need an ICU bed, we don't have one. Your child will wait for another child to die," Jenkins said. "Your child will just not get on the ventilator, your child will be CareFlighted to Temple or #Oklahoma City or wherever we can find them a bed, but they won't be getting one here unless one clears."
