Sunrise El Paso 🌅
El Paso is the only Texas city that is part of the Western interconnect power grid. The rest of our state has its own outdated power grid thanks to officials trying to escape federal regulations. Thanks to them, 2.5 million Texans have no power

In November 1970, university, state and local police shot 778 Bullets into an off campus rental
house in Carbondale, IL. The residence was rented to a handful of university students, some were
assumed to be associated with the local Black Panther Party. Unlike other police raids of known
Black Panther residences across the country, the Carbondale Panthers shot back. Using archive
material, newspaper accounts, witness testimony and experts in the field, 778 Bullets recovers a
little known history of resistance and resilience of the human struggle for self-determination. The
dominant memory of the Black Panther Party would have us believe that the Panthers existed
only in major urban cities; this story documents a more rural presence of radical politics and the
struggle for civil rights.

"Almost 56 years since the day Malcolm X was assassinated in New York City, lawyers and family members of the late civil rights and Black nationalist leader released new evidence they claim shows the NYPD and FBI conspired in his murder."

Malcolm X family says letter shows NYPD and FBI conspired in his murder
Ex-undercover officer claims in posthumous letter he was pressured to lure Malcolm X’s security men into committing crimes
“On a snowy night last March, Daniel Prude sprinted shirtless out of his brother’s home in Rochester, N.Y., seemingly in the grip of a psychotic episode. Distraught, his brother called police for help.
Instead, the officers handcuffed Mr. Prude, placed a mesh hood over his head and pressed him into the pavement until he lost consciousness. His death — as well as what emerged as an apparent cover-up of the circumstances around it — further inflamed a national reckoning around racism and brutality in policing. Protests broke out nationwide.
On Tuesday, the New York attorney general, Letitia James, announced that none of the officers who arrested Mr. Prude would face charges in connection with his death. A grand jury convened by Ms. James to investigate the case declined to charge any of the seven officers on the scene that night with a crime.”

What We Know About Daniel Prude’s Case and Death
For months, officials in Rochester, N.Y., tried to keep body camera footage of the police encounter that led to his death from becoming public. A grand jury declined to bring an indictment against the officers involved.
