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. 🧵
Getting hyped for @_DominicAnthony's re-telling of Houston ISD's first yr under state-appointed Supt Mike Miles.
Surreal to hear what has essentially been the focus of my work life for the past yr encapsulated in 3 mins of audio.
Listen to the trailer and you'll be hyped too

Volunteers are in the lobby of the Travis County Jail helping fill out paperwork for those arrested at #UT today. Lots of folders representing each individual arrested. Family members and friends of those in the jail are arriving to do the paperwork. For @statesman
Update: Multiple UT faculty tweeted out a statement condemning the police presence on campus and announcing another protest tomorrow at 12:15 p.m. Read more about what happened today: kut.org/education/2024…
Today, Governor Abbott said student protestors at @UTAustin should be expelled, accusing the pro-Palestine group of being Antisemitic. In 2019, he signed a law protecting free speech on college campuses.
Will be interesting to see how these criminal trespassing charges play…

After the publication of this article I received many questions from @TexasTribune readers about #PFAS:
🔸How do PFAS get in drinking water?
🔸How do I reduce exposure to PFAS?
