URGENT: 🚨🚨EARN IT ACT IS BACK IN THE SENATE 🚨🚨 TUMBLR’S NSFW BAN HITTING THE ENTIRE INTERNET THIS SUMMER 2023
April 28, 2023
I’m so sorry for the long post but please please please pay attention and spread this
What is the EARN IT Act?
The EARN IT Act (s. 1207) has been roundly condemned by nearly every major LGBTQ+ advocacy and human rights organization in the country.
This is the third time the Senate has been trying to force this through, and I talked about it last year. It is a bill that claims "protects children and victims against CSAM" by creating an unelected and politically appointed national commission of law enforcement specialists to dictate "best practices" that websites all across the nation will be forced to follow. (Keep in mind, most websites in the world are created in the US, so this has global ramifications). These "best practices" would include killing encryption so that any law enforcement can scan and see every single message, dm, photo, cloud storage, data, and any website you have every so much as glanced at. Contrary to popular belief, no they actually can't already do that. These "best practices" also create new laws for "removing CSAM" online, leading to mass censorship of non-CSAM content like what happened to tumblr. Keep in mind that groups like NCOSE, an anti-LGBT hate group, will be allowed on this commission. If websites don't follow these best practices, they lose their Section 230 protections, leading to mass censorship either way.
Section 230 is foundational to modern online communications. It's the entire reason social media exists. It grants legal protection to users and websites, and says that websites aren't responsible for what users upload online unless it's criminal. Without Section 230, websites are at the mercy of whatever bullshit regulatory laws any and every US state passes. Imagine if Texas and Florida were allowed to say what you can and can't publish and access online. That is what will happen if EARN IT passes. (For context, Trump wanted to get rid of Section 230 because he knew it would lead to mass govt surveillance and censorship of minorities online.)
This is really not a drill. Anyone who makes or consume anything “adult” and LGBT online has to be prepared to fight Sen. Blumenthal’s EARN IT Act, brought back from the grave by a bipartisan consensus to destroy Section 230. If this bill passes, we’re going to see most, if not all, adult content and accounts removed from mainstream platforms. This will include anything related to LGBT content, including SFW fanfiction, for example. Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, Tiktok, Tumblr, all of them will be completely gutted of anything related to LGBT content, abortion healthcare, resources for victims of any type of abuse, etc. It is a right-wing fascists wet dream, which is why NCOSE is behind this bill and why another name for this bill is named in reference to NCOSE.
NCOSE used to be named Morality in Media, and has rebranded into an "anti-trafficking" organization. They are a hate group that has made millions off of being "against trafficking" while helping almost no victims and pushing for homophobic laws globally. They have successfully pushing the idea that any form of sexual expression, including talking about HEALTH, leads to sex trafficking. That's how SESTA passed. Their goal is to eliminate all sex, anything gay, and everything that goes against their idea of ‘God’ from the internet and hyper disney-fy and sanitize it. This is a highly coordinated attack on multiple fronts.
The EARN IT Act will lead to mass online censorship and surveillance. Platforms will be forced to scan their users’ communications and censor all sex-related content, including sex education, literally anything lgbt, transgender or non-binary education and support systems, aything related to abortion, and sex worker communication according to the ACLU. All this in the name of “protecting kids” and “fighting CSAM”, both of which the bill does nothing of the sort. In fact it makes fighting CSEM even harder.
EARN IT will open the way for politicians to define the category of “pornography" as they — or the lobbies that fund them — please. The same way that right-wing groups have successfully banned books about race and LGBT, are banning trans people from existing, all under the guise of protecting children from "grooming and exploitation", is how they will successfully censor the internet.
As long as state legislatures can tie in "fighting CSAM" to their bullshit laws, they can use EARN IT to censor and surveill whatever they want.
This is already a nightmare enough. But the bill also DESTROYS ENCRYPTION, you know, the thing protecting literally anyone or any govt entity from going into your private messages and emails and anything on your devices and spying on you.
This bill is going to finish what FOSTA/SESTA started. And that should terrify you.
Senator Blumenthal (Same guy who said ‘Facebook should ban finsta’) pushed this bill all of 2020, literally every activist (There were more than half a million signatures on this site opposing this act!) pushed hard to stop this bill. Now he brings it back, doesn’t show the text of the bill until hours later, and it’s WORSE. Instead of fixing literally anything in the bill that might actually protect kids online, Bluemnthal is hoping to fast track this and shove it through, hoping to get little media attention other than propaganda of “protecting kids” to support this shitty legislation that will harm kids. Blumental doesn't care about protecting anyone, and only wants his name in headlines.
It will make CSAM much much worse.
One of the many reasons this bill is so dangerous: It totally misunderstands how Section 230 works, and in doing so (as with FOSTA) it is likely to make the very real problem of CSAM worse, not better. Section 230 gives companies the flexibility to try different approaches to dealing with various content moderation challenges. It allows for greater and greater experimentation and adjustments as they learn what works – without fear of liability for any “failure.” Removing Section 230 protections does the opposite. It says if you do anything, you may face crippling legal liability. This actually makes companies less willing to do anything that involves trying to seek out, take down, and report CSAM because of the greatly increased liability that comes with admitting that there is CSAM on your platform to search for and deal with. This liability would allow anyone for any reason to sue any platform they want, suing smaller ones out of existence. Look at what is happening right now with book bans across the nation with far right groups. This is going to happen to the internet if this bill passes.
(Remember, the state department released a report in December 2021 recommending that the government crack down on “obscenity” as hard the Reagan Administration did. If this bill passes, it could easily go way beyond shit red states are currently trying. It is a goldmine for the fascist right that is currently in the middle of banning every book that talks about race and sexuality across the US.)
The reason these bills keep showing up is because there is this false lie spread by organizations like NCOSE that platforms do nothing about CSEM online. However, platforms are already liable for child sexual exploitation under federal law. Tech companies sent more than 45 million+ instances of CSAM to the DOJ in 2019 alone, most of which they declined to investigate. This shows that platforms are actually doing everything in their power already to stop CSEM by following already existing laws. The Earn It Act includes zero resources for proven investigation or prevention programs. If Senator Bluementhal actually cared about protecting youth, why wouldn’t he include anything to actually protect them in his shitty horrible bill? EARN IT is actually likely to make prosecuting child molesters more difficult since evidence collected this way likely violates the Fourth Amendment and would be inadmissible in court.
I don’t know why so many Senators are eager to cosponsor the “make child pornography worse” bill, but here we are.
HOW TO FIGHT BACK
EARN IT Act was introduced just two weeks ago and is already being fast-tracked. It will be marked up the week of May 1st and head to the Senate floor immediately after. If there is no loud and consistent opposition, it will be law by JUNE! Most bills never go to markup, so this means they are putting pressure to move this through. There are already 20 co-sponsors, a fifth of the entire Senate. This is an uphill battle and it is very much all hands on deck.
CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES.
This website takes you to your Senator / House members contact info. EMAIL, MESSAGE, SEND LETTERS, CALL CALL CALL CALL CALL. Calling is the BEST way to get a message through. Get your family and friends to send calls too. This is literally the end of free speech online.
(202) 224-3121 connects you to the congressional hotline. Here is a call script if you don't know what to say. Call them every day. Even on the weekends, leaving voicemails are fine.
2. Sign these petitions!
Link to Petition 1
Link to Petition 2
3. SPREAD THE WORD ONLINE
If you have any social media, spread this online. One of the best ways we fought back against this last year was MASSIVE spread online. Tiktok, reddit, twitter, discord, whatever means you have at least mention it. We could see most social media die out by this fall if we don't fight back.
Here is a linktree with more information on this bill including a masterpost of articles, the links to petitions, and the call script.
DISCORD LINK IF YOU WANT TO HELP FIGHT IT
TLDR: The EARN IT Act will lead to online censorship of any and all adult & lgbt content across the entire internet, open the floodgates to mass surveillance the likes which we haven’t seen before, lead to much more CSEM being distributed online, and destroy encryption. Call 202-224-3121 to connect to your house and senate representative and tell them to VOTE NO on this bill that does not protect anyone and harms everyone.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN
October 7, 2024 (Monday)
People in Florida are evacuating before Hurricane Milton is expected to hit the state’s Gulf Coast on Wednesday evening, bringing tornadoes, high winds, a dramatic storm surge, and upwards of 15 inches of rain. Milton grew from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane in a little over a day, fed by water in the Gulf of Mexico that climate change has pushed in some places to 4 degrees Fahrenheit (2.2 degrees Celsius) higher than normal. Veteran Florida meteorologist and hurricane specialist John Morales choked up as he called it “horrific.”
President Joe Biden has approved an emergency declaration for Florida, enabling the federal government to move supplies in ahead of the storm’s arrival, but the state’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, has refused to take a call from Vice President Kamala Harris about planning for the storm. When asked about DeSantis’s refusal at today’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre noted that the president and vice president have reached out to give support to the people of Florida.
As for DeSantis, “It’s up to him if he wants to respond to us or not. But what we're doing is we’re working with state and local officials to make sure that we are pre-positioned to make sure that we are ready to be there for the communities that are going to be impacted. We are doing the job… to protect the communities and to make sure that they have everything that is needed." When asked about DeSantis’s snub, Harris answered: “It’s just utterly irresponsible, and it is selfish, and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is to put the people first.”
Before this year, Florida had goals of moving toward clean energy, but in May 2024, DeSantis signed a law to restructure the state’s energy policy so that addressing climate change would no longer be a priority. The law deleted any mention of climate change in state laws. Saying that “Florida rejects the designs of the left to weaken our energy grid, pursue a radical climate agenda, and promote foreign adversaries,” the governor posted a graphic on X that said the law would “INSULATE FLORIDA FROM GREEN ZEALOTS….”
Like DeSantis, Trump and Project 2025, a playbook for the next Republican administration, authored by allies of the right-wing Heritage Foundation and closely associated with Trump and Republican vice presidential candidate Ohio senator J.D. Vance, take the position that concerns about climate change are overblown. Project 2025 says the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, whose duties include issuing hurricane warnings, is “one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry and, as such, is harmful to future U.S. prosperity.” It calls for either eliminating its functions, sending them to other agencies, privatizing them, or putting them under the control of states and territories.
The U.S. Supreme Court came back in session today in Washington, D.C. It has decided not to hear arguments about whether the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTLA) overrules Texas’s state abortion ban. EMTLA requires that hospitals provide emergency abortion care to save a woman’s life or stop organ failure or loss of fertility. Texas’s ban remains in place.
As legal analyst Joyce White Vance commented: “At least no one can pretend we don’t understand the consequences for women, & others, of putting appointments to the Court back in [Republican] control.”
The Georgia Supreme Court today reinstated the state’s six-week abortion ban after Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, appointed in 2012 by Republican governor Nathan Deal, decided last week that the law violates Georgia’s Constitution. In his decision, McBurney wrote that “liberty in Georgia includes in its meaning, in its protections, and in its bundle of rights the power of a woman to control her own body, to decide what happens to it and in it, and to reject state interference with her healthcare choices.”
McBurney’s decision came shortly after a state investigation revealed that at least two women in Georgia died after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision struck down the abortion protections the court put in place in 1973 with Roe v. Wade. In anticipation of an end to Roe, Georgia governor Brian Kemp in 2019 signed a six-week abortion ban prohibiting the procedure before most women know they’re pregnant. The Dobbs decision allowed that law to go into effect.
The Georgia Supreme Court stayed McBurney’s decision during the state’s appeal of it. Chris Geidner of Law Dork noted that the court did leave in place McBurney’s block on the law’s provision that district attorneys can have access to “health records” where an abortion is performed or where someone who received an abortion lives.
In her attempt to reach new audiences, Vice President Harris sat down for an interview with Alex Cooper of the Call Her Daddy podcast to talk about women’s issues. Call Her Daddy is the second most popular podcast in the country, reaching as many as 2 million downloads per episode. According to NPR’s Elena Moore, Call Her Daddy’s audience is 70% women, 93% under 45.
Cooper began the interview by acknowledging that she does not usually talk about politics, but “at the end of the day, I couldn’t see a world in which one of the main conversations in this election is women and I’m not a part of it…. I am so aware I have a very mixed audience when it comes to politics, so please hear me when I say [that] my goal today is not to change your political affiliation. What I’m hoping is that you’re able to listen to a conversation that isn’t too different from the ones that we’re having here every week.” Cooper said she had also reached out to Trump, adding: “If he also wants to have a meaningful, in-depth conversation about women’s rights in this country, then he is welcome on Call Her Daddy any time.”
On the podcast, Cooper and Harris talked about the prevalence of sexual assault before addressing abortion. When Cooper quoted Trump’s promise to protect women, Harris noted that he was the one who appointed the three extremists to the Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade and that 20 states now have abortion bans, some with no exceptions for rape or incest. Harris pointed out that the majority of women who receive abortion care are mothers and that every state in the South except for Virginia has an abortion ban. For a woman in those states—and one out of every three American women lives in one—the journey is expensive, hard, and traumatic.
“You don’t have to abandon your faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government shouldn’t be telling her what to do,” Harris said. “And that’s what’s so outrageous about it, is a bunch of these guys up in these state capitals are writing these decisions because they somehow have decided that they’re in a better position to tell you what’s in your best interest than you are to know what’s in your own best interest. It’s outrageous.” Harris pointed out that she is the first vice president or president to go to a reproductive health care clinic, and she noted that those clinics perform Pap smears, breast cancer screening, and HIV testing and that they are having to close because of the abortion bans. She noted, though, that since Dobbs, people across the country have chosen to protect abortion rights.
The article in the right-wing National Review about the interview was titled: “Kamala Goes on Sex Podcast to Lie about Georgia Abortion Law.”
On Call Her Daddy, Harris also brought her economic plans for an “opportunity economy” to a younger audience. When Cooper asked her how she was going to help young people “not feel left behind,” Harris agreed it is “a very real issue and we need to take it seriously.” She promised to address housing costs by increasing the housing supply, working with home builders in the private sector to build three million new housing units by the end of her first term; help with $25,000 downpayment assistance for first-time homebuyers; and enact tax cuts for 100 million middle-class working people, including a $6,000 tax credit for new parents to help them afford the costs of a child’s first year.
The Committee for a Responsible Budget noted today that a moderate reading of Harris’s economic plans suggest they would increase the U.S. debt by about $3.5 trillion through 2035. A similar examination of Trump’s plans says they would increase the debt by $7.5 trillion.
Meanwhile, today, Trump openly embraced the race science favored by Nazis. In a scattered call to right-wing host Hugh Hewitt’s show, Trump called Harris a communist and lied—again—that she has let 13,000 murderers into the country. And then he claimed that murder is in a person’s genes, and “we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.” He has also noted that “it would be very dangerous” for anyone to admit they were voting for Kamala Harris at one of his rallies because they would “get hurt.”
Hurricane Milton spurred meteorologist John Morales to step forward to take a stand, sharing his thoughts after Hurricane Helene hit. “Something’s shifted,” he wrote. “And it’s not just the climate.” He noted that with Helene on the way, “I did what I’ve done during my entire 40 year career—I tried to warn people. Except that the warning was not well received by everyone. A person accused me of being a ‘climate militant,’ a suggestion that I’m embellishing extreme weather threats to drive an agenda. Another simply said that my predictions were ‘an exaggeration.’
“But it wasn’t an exaggeration,” he wrote.
“For decades I had felt in control. Not in control of the weather, of course. But in control of the message that, if my audience was prepared and well informed, I could confidently guide them through any weather threat, and we’d all make it through safely…. But no one can hide from the truth. Extreme weather events, including hurricanes, are becoming more extreme. I must communicate the growing threats from the climate crisis come hell or high water—pun intended.”

Are there any Lakota feminists you admire?
It's a little hard to compile a list of Lakota feminists specifically. While there are some, there aren't enough, and I'd like to broaden my answer to cover more than just Lakota women fighting for feminism for Indigenous women all over the world. I hope that's okay.
These are women I encourage anyone to look up and check out their work, we all come from different backgrounds so I might not agree with/have experienced everything shared by them but I think every Indigenous woman's voice is important!
Jihan Gearon - Navajo, feminist and artist
Tarcila Rivera Zea - Quechuan, feminist activist, founder of multiple organizations for Indigenous women
Debora Barros Fince - Waayu, activist and human rights defender and lawyer in Colombia

Deb Haaland - Laguna Pueblo, Interior Secretary for the USA
Amelia Marchand - Colville, warrior against climate change
Lydia Jennings - Pascua Yaqui and Huichol, warrior against climate change

Article about multiple Indigenous women in Mexico who run Indigenous women's centers
Lily Gladstone - Blackfeet and Nez Perce actress

Sacheen Littlefeather - Apache and Yaquim actress. Keeler is a horrible person and not worthy of listening to whatsoever, Sacheen Littlefeather did more activism for Indian Country than Keeler will ever accomplish in her miserable life
Brianna Theobald - Not Indigenous to my knowledge (I could definitely be wrong), but researched and wrote a wonderful book about the treatment of Indigenous women in regards to reproduction and sterilization
Tumblr media
The brave woman at Standing Rock photographed by Ryan Vizzions. She has since passed away due to a car accident I believe, but I'm struggling to find her name. Once I find it, I'll update this post.
Honor the Grandmothers is a good book to hear Lakota and Dakota women elders share their experiences.

Inner Healing and Trauma Recovery: A Path to Wellness
Healing emotional wounds can feel overwhelming, but with the right guidance and therapeutic support, recovery is possible. For individuals seeking help in addressing deep-seated pain, Inner Child Therapy Texas and Trauma Recovery Specialist California services offer a compassionate and effective approach to reclaiming emotional well-being.
Understanding Inner Child Therapy
Inner child therapy is a powerful method aimed at addressing unresolved issues from childhood. These unresolved emotions often manifest in adulthood as anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficulty forming healthy relationships. The process involves reconnecting with the inner child, identifying pain points, and nurturing emotional healing. For those in Texas, this form of therapy is a vital tool to confront childhood traumas and create a foundation for personal growth.
Therapists specializing in inner child work guide clients through safe spaces where they can revisit childhood experiences without fear or judgment. This gentle yet profound approach helps clients uncover and address the roots of their emotional challenges, paving the way for a healthier, more balanced life.
The Role of a Trauma Recovery Specialist
Trauma can have lasting effects on the mind and body, often leading to chronic stress, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A Trauma Recovery Specialist in California is trained to help individuals navigate these complex emotions. These specialists provide tailored strategies to process traumatic experiences, manage triggers, and foster resilience.
With the right trauma recovery techniques, clients can reclaim their sense of safety and regain control over their lives. Specialists often incorporate a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and somatic techniques to address trauma comprehensively. By working closely with a trauma recovery specialist, clients can experience not only relief but also empowerment to rebuild their lives.
Combining Therapy with Holistic Practices
Inner child therapy and trauma recovery are often complemented by holistic practices such as mindfulness meditation, yoga, and art therapy. These approaches help clients cultivate self-awareness and develop coping mechanisms to navigate emotional challenges effectively.
Holistic practices encourage a connection between the mind and body, which is essential for lasting healing. For instance, mindfulness meditation teaches individuals to stay present and manage stress, while art therapy provides an outlet for expressing emotions that may be difficult to verbalize. Combining these practices with therapy accelerates the healing process and promotes overall well-being.
Why Choose Professional Guidance?
Professional therapists, such as those associated with oubaitoripsychotherapy.com, provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for healing. Their expertise ensures that clients receive personalized care tailored to their unique needs. Whether you’re in Texas exploring inner child therapy or in California seeking Trauma Recovery Specialist California, working with skilled professionals can make a significant difference in your journey to wellness.
Additionally, professional therapists understand the intricate nature of emotional pain and provide tools to address it effectively. They empower clients to overcome barriers, embrace their authentic selves, and create meaningful changes in their lives.
Embracing the Healing Journey
The road to emotional recovery requires courage, commitment, and the right support system. Inner child therapy and trauma recovery are transformative processes that allow individuals to break free from the past and build a fulfilling future.

EL PASO Tree Removal: Your Trusted Experts for Tree Care in El Paso
A healthy, safe, and aesthetically appealing landscape is sometimes best achieved with the help of professional tree services. If it is a dead or diseased tree that is a danger to your property, branches that are growing too close to your house, or stumps that are an eyesore in your yard, then it is important to have a tree service provider. EL PASO Tree Removal is here to keep your property looking great and safe with our full tree services.
Why Professional Tree Removal Matters?
Tree removal is a decision that every homeowner does not like to make, although it is essential for other reasons apart from the looks. Dead, diseased or leaning trees can become a real threat to you, your family or even your neighbors and your house. These trees may shed some branches or even the whole tree during a storm or even during a very strong wind hence posing a very big threat as they are very expensive to replace. When you employ the services of a company like EL PASO Tree Removal, you are guaranteed a safe, efficient and legal removal of trees.
Here’s why you might need professional tree removal services in El Paso ,Texas:
1. Safety Concerns
A tree with a leaning trunk or broken branches means that it poses serious risks to people and property in case of storms. Cutting of these trees helps to minimize the cases of accidents and destruction of property. 
2. Tree Health and Disease
Now and then, trees develop diseases or are attacked by pests, and these affect the healthy trees that are around it. In case a tree cannot be treated, it is best to have it cut down early to prevent the disease from affecting the other plants in your garden. 
3. Preventing Structural Damage
Trees with extensive root systems are particularly dangerous to the foundation of buildings and structures, driveway, and other underground installations. Eventually, roots may break or heave the concrete, which is rather expensive to fix. 
4. Enhancing the Looks and Area

Choosing the Right Windows
UV-repellent window tinting film is another option for protecting against UV rays. They keep a house cooler and protect paint and other materials while remaining invisible to the naked eye. Even with just a small amount of color, property owners in the South, the Southwest, and other hot regions can benefit from energy savings.
Window with a Transom A window with a transom above it lets in natural air.
The "eyebrow craftsmanship" of a window is represented by the Plan Transoms. Some manufacturers are producing "dynamic" transoms that open, allowing natural air to enter, as opposed to fixed transoms that are only there for style.
According to Franklin, "the feel of these functioning windows is also more engaging because they require additional packaging." Because dynamic transoms have more depth, they don't look like a flat piece of glass with a touch of packaging stuck to the wall," he understands.
Window designs such as range style windows shaped like half-moons, "sunbursts," or circles, which do not open, should be avoided by property owners looking for ecological benefits.
The Establishment In point of fact, improper installation will render even the most expensive window unit useless. Be wary of any employee who relies too heavily on growing froths or sealants to get a window to fit right because these materials aren't waterproof and can cause problems soon. According to Jim DeLaPlaine, head of tasks for Building Designing Specialists of The Forests, Texas, the best option is pre-establishment waterproofing, which is typically completed some time prior to the installation of windows.
Blasting and real caulking may be the most economical bits of window foundation, but if they're not gotten done to detail, the accompanying water breaks will cause a surge of issues for both maker and buyer that could have been easily forestalled.
In themselves, some window plans are better than others. The most well-known kinds are:
Windows with two sashes. These are common in many homes all over the country, and they are especially common in buildings built before World War II. To open the unit with double-hung windows, the base slides up. Despite the fact that there is a possibility of air interruption between the sliders, they may not be the best choice in extreme circumstances.
Windows with cases. These units, which have an opening wrench and are popular in places where wind is a problem, really close themselves more tightly when the wind is blowing toward the house. However, in order to ensure that they proceed with solidity and effectiveness, they require support on seals and pivots.
Windows with images Even though they don't usually open and come in a variety of sizes and shapes, that doesn't mean they can't be useful. Glass choice and gas-filled interiors are especially important in larger units. Check out vacuum insulated glass manufacturers.
Different designs include transom-opening windows that let natural air flow through. In addition, considering how many more extensive housing units they require, they appear engaging. Setups like half-moon, sunburst, and circle-shaped span-style windows should be avoided.

What is the Condition of the Foundation? Understanding the Importance of Foundation Inspections in Houston, Texas
The foundation of a home is quite literally what the house stands on, making it one of the most critical aspects to consider when purchasing a property. In Houston, Texas, where the clay-rich soil and extreme weather conditions can wreak havoc on a home’s foundation, understanding its condition is crucial. Whether you're buying a brand-new house in the suburbs or an older home in the heart of the city, asking about the condition of the foundation should be a top priority.
Why Foundation Issues Are Common in Houston
Houston’s soil is a mix of sand, clay, and silt, with the clay being a major contributor to foundation problems. Clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, causing the ground beneath a home to shift. This shifting can lead to cracks, uneven settling, and structural issues over time.
Moreover, Houston’s climate, with its high levels of rainfall, occasional flooding, and extreme summer heat, exacerbates the problem. The cycle of expansion and contraction due to moisture fluctuations puts additional stress on the foundation, making regular inspections and maintenance essential.
Signs of Foundation Problems
Before buying a home in Houston, it's important to ask the home inspector to thoroughly assess the foundation for any signs of damage. Some common indicators of foundation issues include:
Cracks in walls, ceilings, or floors: Small hairline cracks are common in many homes, but large, zigzagging cracks can indicate a more serious foundation problem.
Doors and windows that stick: If doors or windows don’t open or close smoothly, this could be a sign that the foundation has shifted, causing the frames to warp.
Uneven or sloping floors: A noticeable slope or sag in the floors can indicate that the foundation is settling unevenly.
Gaps around windows and doors: If you notice gaps between the wall and window or door frames, it could be a sign that the foundation is moving.
Water pooling near the foundation: Poor drainage or improper grading can lead to water accumulation near the foundation, which can cause soil expansion and damage the foundation over time.
Why You Should Care About Foundation Problems
Foundation issues are not just a cosmetic concern. Left unaddressed, they can lead to serious structural problems that affect the safety, stability, and value of a home. Repairing foundation damage can be costly, with major repairs sometimes running into tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the severity of the issue.
For Houston homebuyers, it’s essential to understand the current state of the foundation, as this will help you make informed decisions during the negotiation process. If problems are found, you may need to request repairs from the seller or adjust your offer to account for future repair costs.
What to Ask Your Home Inspector About the Foundation
When having a home inspection done, be sure to ask your inspector specific questions about the foundation, such as:
Are there any visible cracks or signs of movement in the foundation?
Does the property show signs of uneven settling?
Is the grading around the home adequate to prevent water from pooling near the foundation?
Are there any signs of water damage or drainage issues around the foundation?
Should I call a foundation specialist for further evaluation?
A good home inspector will be able to give you a general assessment of the foundation’s condition and alert you to any potential red flags. In some cases, they may recommend bringing in a foundation specialist to provide a more detailed evaluation.
Foundation Repairs: What to Expect
If the home you’re considering does have foundation issues, it’s important to understand what repairs might involve. In Houston, common foundation repair methods include:
Pier and beam systems: Used for homes with significant foundation movement, this method involves installing piers under the foundation to stabilize and lift it.
Slab leveling: This involves injecting materials like polyurethane foam beneath the foundation to level it and prevent further settling.
Drainage improvements: Poor drainage can contribute to foundation issues. Installing proper drainage systems, such as French drains or gutters, can help redirect water away from the foundation and prevent future problems.
The cost of these repairs varies depending on the extent of the damage, but it’s essential to factor this into your decision-making process. The last thing you want is to be surprised by unexpected repair costs after closing on your new home.
Preventing Foundation Issues in the Future
If the foundation is in good condition, it’s still important to take steps to maintain it, especially in Houston’s climate. Homeowners can help prevent future foundation problems by:
Maintaining proper drainage: Ensure that water flows away from the home by keeping gutters clean and installing downspouts that direct water away from the foundation.
Watering the foundation in dry periods: During hot, dry summers, the soil around your home can shrink and cause foundation movement. Watering the soil evenly around the foundation can help maintain moisture levels and prevent shifting.
Fixing plumbing leaks quickly: Undetected leaks in pipes, especially under the slab, can lead to soil expansion and foundation damage. Regularly check for leaks and have them repaired as soon as possible.
Conclusion: Protecting Your Investment in Houston
In a city like Houston, where soil movement and weather extremes are constant challenges, understanding the condition of a home’s foundation is critical. By asking the right questions and ensuring your home inspector thoroughly evaluates the foundation, you can avoid unexpected surprises and make an informed investment in your future.
Whether you're buying a new home or maintaining an existing one, staying vigilant about foundation health will protect your home from costly repairs and keep it stable for years to come.

Heather Cox Richardson 10-7-24
People in Florida are evacuating before Hurricane Milton is expected to hit the state’s Gulf Coast on Wednesday evening, bringing tornadoes, high winds, a dramatic storm surge, and upwards of 15 inches of rain. Milton grew from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane in a little over a day, fed by water in the Gulf of Mexico that climate change has pushed in some places to 4 degrees Fahrenheit (2.2 degrees Celsius) higher than normal. Veteran Florida meteorologist and hurricane specialist John Morales choked up as he called it “horrific.”
President Joe Biden has approved an emergency declaration for Florida, enabling the federal government to move supplies in ahead of the storm’s arrival, but the state’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, has refused to take a call from Vice President Kamala Harris about planning for the storm. When asked about DeSantis’s refusal at today’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre noted that the president and vice president have reached out to give support to the people of Florida. 
As for DeSantis, “It’s up to him if he wants to respond to us or not. But what we're doing is we’re working with state and local officials to make sure that we are pre-positioned to make sure that we are ready to be there for the communities that are going to be impacted. We are doing the job… to protect the communities and to make sure that they have everything that is needed." When asked about DeSantis’s snub, Harris answered: “It’s just utterly irresponsible, and it is selfish, and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is to put the people first.”
Before this year, Florida had goals of moving toward clean energy, but in May 2024, DeSantis signed a law to restructure the state’s energy policy so that addressing climate change would no longer be a priority. The law deleted any mention of climate change in state laws. Saying that “Florida rejects the designs of the left to weaken our energy grid, pursue a radical climate agenda, and promote foreign adversaries,” the governor posted a graphic on X that said the law would “INSULATE FLORIDA FROM GREEN ZEALOTS….”
Like DeSantis, Trump and Project 2025, a playbook for the next Republican administration, authored by allies of the right-wing Heritage Foundation and closely associated with Trump and Republican vice presidential candidate Ohio senator J.D. Vance, take the position that concerns about climate change are overblown. 
Project 2025 says the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, whose duties include issuing hurricane warnings, is “one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry and, as such, is harmful to future U.S. prosperity.” It calls for either eliminating its functions, sending them to other agencies, privatizing them, or putting them under the control of states and territories.
The U.S. Supreme Court came back in session today in Washington, D.C. It has decided not to hear arguments about whether the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTLA) overrules Texas’s state abortion ban. EMTLA requires that hospitals provide emergency abortion care to save a woman’s life or stop organ failure or loss of fertility. Texas’s ban remains in place.
As legal analyst Joyce White Vance commented: “At least no one can pretend we don’t understand the consequences for women, & others, of putting appointments to the Court back in [Republican] control.”
The Georgia Supreme Court today reinstated the state’s six-week abortion ban after Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, appointed in 2012 by Republican governor Nathan Deal, decided last week that the law violates Georgia’s Constitution. In his decision, McBurney wrote that “liberty in Georgia includes in its meaning, in its protections, and in its bundle of rights the power of a woman to control her own body, to decide what happens to it and in it, and to reject state interference with her healthcare choices.” 
McBurney’s decision came shortly after a state investigation revealed that at least two women in Georgia died after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision struck down the abortion protections the court put in place in 1973 with Roe v. Wade. 
In anticipation of an end to Roe, Georgia governor Brian Kemp in 2019 signed a six-week abortion ban prohibiting the procedure before most women know they’re pregnant. The Dobbs decision allowed that law to go into effect. 
The Georgia Supreme Court stayed McBurney’s decision during the state’s appeal of it. Chris Geidner of Law Dork noted that the court did leave in place McBurney’s block on the law’s provision that district attorneys can have access to “health records” where an abortion is performed or where someone who received an abortion lives. 
In her attempt to reach new audiences, Vice President Harris sat down for an interview with Alex Cooper of the Call Her Daddy podcast to talk about women’s issues. Call Her Daddy is the second most popular podcast in the country, reaching as many as 2 million downloads per episode. According to NPR’s Elena Moore, Call Her Daddy’s audience is 70% women, 93% under 45.
Cooper began the interview by acknowledging that she does not usually talk about politics, but “at the end of the day, I couldn’t see a world in which one of the main conversations in this election is women and I’m not a part of it…. I am so aware I have a very mixed audience when it comes to politics, so please hear me when I say [that] my goal today is not to change your political affiliation. What I’m hoping is that you’re able to listen to a conversation that isn’t too different from the ones that we’re having here every week.” Cooper said she had also reached out to Trump, adding: “If he also wants to have a meaningful, in-depth conversation about women’s rights in this country, then he is welcome on Call Her Daddy any time.”
On the podcast, Cooper and Harris talked about the prevalence of sexual assault before addressing abortion. When Cooper quoted Trump’s promise to protect women, Harris noted that he was the one who appointed the three extremists to the Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade and that 20 states now have abortion bans, some with no exceptions for rape or incest. Harris pointed out that the majority of women who receive abortion care are mothers and that every state in the South except for Virginia has an abortion ban. For a woman in those states—and one out of every three American women lives in one—the journey is expensive, hard, and traumatic.
“You don’t have to abandon your faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government shouldn’t be telling her what to do,” Harris said. “And that’s what’s so outrageous about it, is a bunch of these guys up in these state capitals are writing these decisions because they somehow have decided that they’re in a better position to tell you what’s in your best interest than you are to know what’s in your own best interest. It’s outrageous.” Harris pointed out that she is the first vice president or president to go to a reproductive health care clinic, and she noted that those clinics perform Pap smears, breast cancer screening, and HIV testing and that they are having to close because of the abortion bans. She noted, though, that since Dobbs, people across the country have chosen to protect abortion rights.
The article in the right-wing National Review about the interview was titled: “Kamala Goes on Sex Podcast to Lie about Georgia Abortion Law.”   
On Call Her Daddy, Harris also brought her economic plans for an “opportunity economy” to a younger audience. When Cooper asked her how she was going to help young people “not feel left behind,” Harris agreed it is “a very real issue and we need to take it seriously.” She promised to address housing costs by increasing the housing supply, working with home builders in the private sector to build three million new housing units by the end of her first term; help with $25,000 downpayment assistance for first-time homebuyers; and enact tax cuts for 100 million middle-class working people, including a $6,000 tax credit for new parents to help them afford the costs of a child’s first year.   
The Committee for a Responsible Budget noted today that a moderate reading of Harris’s economic plans suggest they would increase the U.S. debt by about $3.5 trillion through 2035. A similar examination of Trump’s plans says they would increase the debt by $7.5 trillion. 
Meanwhile, today, Trump openly embraced the race science favored by Nazis. In a scattered call to right-wing host Hugh Hewitt’s show, Trump called Harris a communist and lied—again—that she has let 13,000 murderers into the country. And then he claimed that murder is in a person’s genes, and “we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.” He has also noted that “it would be very dangerous” for anyone to admit they were voting for Kamala Harris at one of his rallies because they would “get hurt.”
Hurricane Milton spurred meteorologist John Morales to step forward to take a stand, sharing his thoughts after Hurricane Helene hit. “Something’s shifted,” he wrote. “And it’s not just the climate.” He noted that with Helene on the way, “I did what I’ve done during my entire 40 year career—I tried to warn people. Except that the warning was not well received by everyone. A person accused me of being a ‘climate militant,’ a suggestion that I’m embellishing extreme weather threats to drive an agenda. Another simply said that my predictions were ‘an exaggeration.’
“But it wasn’t an exaggeration,” he wrote.
“For decades I had felt in control. Not in control of the weather, of course. But in control of the message that, if my audience was prepared and well informed, I could confidently guide them through any weather threat, and we’d all make it through safely…. But no one can hide from the truth. Extreme weather events, including hurricanes, are becoming more extreme. I must communicate the growing threats from the climate crisis come hell or high water—pun intended.”
