Today, we held a press conference with @ATCEMS, @Austin_Police, and @austintexasgov leaders to discuss the surge of opioid overdoses in Austin yesterday.
NEW: Travis County Attorney Delia Garza says her office has received 65 cases for criminal trespassing after UT protests yesterday, calls on UT to find a “compromise” with demonstrators and that her office has been overwhelmed with cases. “It does not seem sustainable.”
Amazing news! There should never have been a question of criminal charges, misdemeanor or felony, against a journalist reporting on the protests like that. An independent free press is a NECESSITY in telling the story of the growing authoritarian problem we are seeing in TX!

Travis County and the City of Austin just held a press conference on yesterday's surge of overdoses. Here’s what we learned, and what you need to know. 🧵
ATX be aware - this is an ongoing situation. If you need resources, check with: - Austin-Travis County Emergency Management - Texas Harm Reduction - NICE Project ATX Narcan is also available in most pharmacies like HEB!

Important conversations are going on at campus today. This is what a dialogue should look like - not militarizing our campuses. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
If you are looking for a student, friend, or loved one, check here at the Travis County Sherriff's site for their status if they have been processed. tcsheriff.org/inmate-jail-in…

Alumni, supporters and fans of @UTAustin have been dismayed at how @JCHartzell and the University's administration met peaceful protest with heavily armed confrontation. How will that decision "change the world"? Podcast with @SarahEckhardtTX and more: tinyurl.com/4hszxrw3
Attended peaceful protests against VietNam War at UT in 1970s where I was maced. My husband was beaten and arrested. Students are directly impacted by war/international conflict and have every right to speak out. Their voices are critical in shaping policy impacting their future.

Just spoke with Sen @SarahEckhardtTX who is here at the protests. She said she’s been talking with police and UT admin to try and deescalate the situation but hasn’t made much progress.
Have you cast your ballot? 🗳️ It’s not too late! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Happy Birthday @WillieNelson! He's 91 years old and still going strong... Willie is gearing up to release his new album, "The Border," on May 31st. Plus, catch him live on his 'Outlaw Music Festival' tour this summer! 🤠 #WillieNelson #OutlawMusicFestival
H-E-B issued a voluntary recall for some flavors of three-ounce ice cream cups sold at Texas stores. trib.al/vEeb5cA
BREAKING: Tim Miller, a former Republican, just gave the best reason why Republicans should abandon Trump for Biden. Trump defrauded his base to pay for his lifestyle & court cases while Biden invested in American communities. Retweet so all Americans see.
The American-Statesman Editorial Board says: "We recommend Hanna, Wang and Lavine for Travis Central Appraisal District board" First-ever elections for little-known board with an outsized role in Texas' property tax system statesman.com/story/opinion/… #txlege #TCAD
I wanted to thank all of you who were so kind to text and call after my head collided with concrete while I was covering the UT protests. Officers and students alike quickly offered a helping hand after my mishap. The flood of good wishes was really touching. I'm fine now. DM
🗞️📣UT officials have confirmed that those arrested during Wednesday’s protests MAY be on campus for academic purposes. UT officials should be reaching out to those impacted with additional information. #txlege kut.org/education/2024…
NEW: After backlash and questions about legality, the University of Texas is now clarifying its ban of arrested students’ return to campus, saying they can do so for academic reasons and to “access university resources upon approval.”
🚨 Florida’s six-week abortion ban takes effect Wednesday. One clinic just told me they have 70-80 patients on the schedule Monday. They usually see 10-15.
We agree with @SarahEckhardtTX (who) said, “Our right to peacefully assemble to engage in open and respectful exchange about even the most challenging topics is crucial to our identity as Americans.”

NEW: Travis County Attorney Delia Garza says her office has received 65 cases for criminal trespassing after UT protests yesterday, calls on UT to find a “compromise” with demonstrators and that her office has been overwhelmed with cases. “It does not seem sustainable.”
Yesterday’s arrests are just another example of the criminalization of constitutional rights in Texas. The @TXCivilRights unequivocally denounces violence and hate in all forms against all people.
The scene so far on UT Austin campus this afternoon. Currently calm as a group in support of Palestine solidarity protests sit talking about what's happened on campus. Some police stand to the side. A few people with Israeli flags also here.
Yet again in Texas, a celebration ends in a shootout. Loose Republican gun laws are keeping all of us in danger.

Some personal news: We're happily expecting baby girl #2 in mid-October -- literally making my own joy (and lolol our own stress!) in 2024.
I have visited the Gaza solidarity encampment at Princeton and have talked to plenty of people who have visited encampments at other campuses. And it is 100% clear to me that they are not antisemitic or even close to it. Anyone who suggests otherwise are deceiving you. The day…
I wanted to thank all of you who were so kind to text and call after my head collided with concrete while I was covering the UT protests. Officers and students alike quickly offered a helping hand after my mishap. The flood of good wishes was really touching. I'm fine now. DM
Thank you, Senator @SarahEckhardtTX for trying to deescalate a situation State, System, and @UTAustin leaders were dangerously escalating. We appreciate your leadership and concern for our campus. 🙏
BREAKING: UT President Jay Hartzell’s messages with a state senator and the UT System Chancellor reveal he requested additional help from DPS at yesterday’s protest because “our police force couldn’t do it alone,” according to messages obtained by The Austin American-Statesman.
Thank you to everyone who attended my State of the County Address this week. I enjoyed sharing the work we're doing and our vision to create a better, more inclusive, and thriving Travis County that works for everyone.
.@SarahEckhardtTX is correct about "politics is not going to let this go." Fascism cloaked in the Texas flag while waving a Bible and talking about freedom and prosperity while creating a police state must be stopped (looking at you @GovAbbott ).
NEW: In texts with lawmaker, UT President Jay Hartzell fully acknowledges calling DPS to campus because “our police force couldn’t do it alone.” “We asked for help, Senator.” The exchange is between Sen. Sarah Eckhardt, Hartzell and UT System Chancellor J.B. Milliken.
Thank you @SarahEckhardtTX
