CNN’s coverage of the Columbia U situation is an endless parade of law enforcement experts. Even their reporter is going out of his way to justify and praise the police response. Not a single critical voice so far. Just completely one-sided copaganda.
If you are this wildly inconsistent on free speech matters, then you probably don't actually respect free speech all that much.
Texas cities dramatically reduced per capita water consumption last decade. Then the Californians showed up (also in state transplants not familiar with drought conditions). @Forrest4Trees reports: texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…
Texas, we have a problem. Newcomers—and the developers who cater to them—love their big, thirsty green lawns. As a result, water conservation is faltering in many parts of the state. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…
NEW: This felony charge is intimidation and retaliation by @TxDPS. It’s crystal clear from every angle of videos capturing the incident that the @fox7austin photographer did not intentionally hit ANYONE while covering protests at UTAustin last week. 🧵1/3 kxan.com/news/local/aus…
Texas is permitting releases of treated oilfield wastewater into rivers from the Pecos to the Atascosa. Some see a solution to reduce underground disposal. Others warn we don't know enough about pollutants in the water. w/ @DylanBaddour & 📸 Justin Hamel insideclimatenews.org/news/28042024/…
This is what all the Very Serious People said about protests against the Iraq War. Guess who history has proved right.
The only way to survive on this platform now is smashing that block button like your mental health depends on it
NEW: UT Austin released "protest rules" that say "individuals may not come to campus without authorization," which is in direct contradiction to a video they published 6 months ago that says members of the public can "come to campus at any time and engage in demonstrations."
NEW from me: The "ghost wolves" of Galveston Island—coyotes with high levels of endangered red wolf DNA—have enchanted folks on the island, but the animals face threats from development, including a Jimmy Buffet-themed Margaritaville resort. texasmonthly.com/travel/ghost-w…
There were about 90 officers in riot gear on this lawn about 10 minutes ago. Not 5 minutes after they left, the protestors returned. Could be a long evening.
I just signed a law protecting free speech on college campuses. #txlege
What, I thought we were in favor of free speech on campus? Or does that only apply if you hold an opinion on foreign policy in line with the governor?

We'll learn more soon, I'm sure, but this looks like Abbott flexing for Fox News, showing that he is 10x harder on the campus pinkos than any East Coast authority

I helped organize an unpermitted walkout and rally in front of the Tower in 2003 to protest the Iraq War. The police were never this heavy-handed.

Forbes released their 2024 list of the Richest People in the World. I thought it would be interesting to see how many are investing in Texas politics, how much, and to who. And turns out the answers are a lot, a lot, and mostly Republicans. #txlege open.substack.com/pub/christacke…
SCOOPLET: Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, who not long ago switched to the Republican party, has hired a staff writer at the Dallas Express, a right wing website funded by GOP megadonor Monty Bennett, who took a leadership course with the Christian Nationalist group Wall Builders. 1/

I've spent a lot of effort defending and explaining Galveston over the years, and come to 3 conclusions 1. No one cares about explanations 2. Houston media amplifies stories that make Galveston seem weird/gross/dangerous 3. The island is nicer when all y'all aren't there
Online commenters, a nonprofit and even Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles defended the City of Galveston after Charles Barkley's remarks about the water being "dirty." trib.al/HLAIPSL
@Forrest4Trees Smears on students has been building for years to derail informed campaigns intended to build a better, most just world. The alternative to this messy work is blind obedience to the status quo (genocide, global climate death, unchecked police power, structural racism). Fuck that.
There is far too often more accountability for student protesters than those that lead people into foolish, counter-productive wars
This is what all the Very Serious People said about protests against the Iraq War. Guess who history has proved right.
Honored to be awarded the Collier Prize for government accountability for our team’s Uvalde reporting & hope that it keeps attention on the devastating failures that day, the warnings they should send every community, & the lack of accountability & transparency 2 years later. 🧵
So proud of @lomikriel @LChurchilll @zachdespart on accepting the Collier Prize for their coverage of the Uvalde Massacre at tonight’s #WHCD @propublica @TexasTribune
@Forrest4Trees Got a good FOIA for your sanity: vault.fbi.gov/international-…
Congratulations @lomikriel @LChurchilll @zachdespart and the entire team @propublica @TexasTribune @frontlinepbs honored for #Uvalde coverage at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner tonight.
This week, I got to do something that journalists are not always given the opportunity to do after they publish stories: return to the community they spent months reporting at to distribute the story in person. 🧵
NEW: UT Austin released "protest rules" that say "individuals may not come to campus without authorization," which is in direct contradiction to a video they published 6 months ago that says members of the public can "come to campus at any time and engage in demonstrations."
look, it would have been nice to have this kind of enthusiasm in Uvalde
state troopers are now shoving protesters who have no where to go since they’re hemmed in on all sides, one arrest so far, he has roughly *20* state troopers detaining him. he was simply walking in the demo
I was there. There were easily 10k people. It was entirely peaceful. UT police told us to stay out of the roads and blocked traffic when the numbers got too big. I’m very curious who sent in the arrest-happy DPS troopers today
I helped organize an unpermitted walkout and rally in front of the Tower in 2003 to protest the Iraq War. The police were never this heavy-handed.
.@statesman journalists just ended a four-day ULP strike in protest of @Gannett’s bad-faith bargaining. Here are the unethical & embarassing ways @statesman management & @Gannett tried to cover up our absence from the paper, misrepresenting & creating errors as they did. 🧵
I’m on strike for the first time in my career as I join my co-workers to fight for fair, livable wages for my younger colleagues. We’ve seen our newsroom shrink by almost 79% since 2012, and that cannot continue.
@Forrest4Trees Which would make more sense regarding a possible religious exemption but you are right. I don’t understand why either is not required to pay property taxes.
Justin's story caps off a good week over at texasobserver.org: @josephineklee exposes possible TxDOT malfeasance in Houston & reviews a fascinating new book; @MichellePitcher delves into sleep deprivation in prisons; and we republish a shattering @LaVerdadJz investigation
