I was there once for a deposition at Calipatria State Prison. I’m convinced the town name is a joke. It is el centro del nowhere. I don’t even know why they guard the prison; let the inmates escape into the desert and pick up their bleached bones in a couple of weeks. It might as well be on Mars.

Kids in the tiny Imperial Valley town of Calipatria are pushing through their asthma to play Little League baseball, even as the dying Salton Sea spews more hazardous dust into the air: capitalandmain.com/near-the-sal... via @rebeccaplevin.bsky.social
Near the Salton Sea, Little League Players Struggle to Breathe
Pediatric asthma is common in Calipatria, where young athletes compete despite extreme heat and air pollution. Some worry a lithium boom could make things worse.

Data centers may soon be blocked in this California city
As a dispute in Imperial County looms over what could be the largest data center in California, a city near the Salton Sea is considering preemptive action.
