There have been camp outs and protests at UH, Rice, UTSA and UT-Dallas. These have barely been covered because they did their programs and protests and then they wrapped up. Abbott and Hartzell choosing repression instead has made national news and created a larger movement.

I can make a strong argument that any of their interests in covering the “HISD Takeover” is 100% to serve their adult audiences. And it shows in all the reporting.
When I say these news orgs are adultist at best, I mean it.
I’ve filmed a bit of the historic week-long Popular Universities at UH (@SJPHouston) and Rice (@rice_sjp) for @shiftpress’s Instagram. I want to state for the record, these are the front webpages of the @HoustonChron, @HoustonPubMedia, and @Hou_Landing 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.

Florida is charging formerly incarcerated people $50 a day even if they’re no longer in prison. The “pay to stay” fee is based on the length of the original sentence, so even when they're released they must keep paying for a prison bed they’re not using. abcactionnews.com/news/local-new…
Nearly 94,000 more people approved billions of dollars to improve @METROHouston in 2019 (68 percent of 328,000 is 223,040) than voted for Mayor Whitmire (129,495) in the December 2023 runoff.

One of the most insidious tropes in modern news is the idea that crushing the poorest people in our society is some sort of “unusual alliance” between Democrat and Republican elites in each particular instance. It is, and has been, a key area of agreement between them.
I’m helping students at Rice University SJP in Houston gin up support and audience for their People’s University/possible encampment that they’ll be doing at the Rice U location of Houston Climate Justice Museum, where I curate. Please spread the word!
#HISD student speaker said, "You may be able to threaten principals and fire teachers, but there is nothing you can do about the youth. Tonya Faison once said, when the system is not made for us, we will burn it down."

This challenges and opportunities slide does not include a wedge for demand side resources but it should. There is no way we can meet anything close to this demand without dispatchable demand response, both for large *and small* customers. #txlege

Miles cut school funding by 12% but tripled # of staff making > $200K. Miles’ musical $470K, but cut homeless services. We need a bond, but It’s irresponsible to give Miles a $5B bond w/out accountability provided by an elected board. No trust. No bond houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…

also that photo last week of whitmire at the fatal fire, which was posted by the firefighters union, who is closely align with whitmire, rubbed me the wrong way I couldn't articulate why at the time, and I normally have no beef with firefighters but... it felt like copaganda

No council today for me cuz I have jury duty this week *but* I did just wanna say I've been taking the rail into downtown and not dealing with parking down there has been the best. Highly recommend 😎. Legit don't understand why you wouldn't do this if you live near a rail stop.
Excited we are launching @texastribguild! The Texas Tribune is a great place to work, and we are deeply invested in its mission. We want to work with management in shaping the organization’s next chapter and we believe we deserve a seat at the table. ⬇️ texastribuneguild.org
I've updated my profile to reflect my new role as @Hou_Landing 's Senior Storyteller. As many of y'all have heard, the Landing eliminated columns during this month's company reset. I already miss my dream job; I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you as a columnist.
A few words that speak volumes: "After the meeting Monday, all other reporters joined Stuckey and Rahman at a bar."
New by @s_peppered, with lots of details about the shock firing of @Mizanur_TX and @alexdstuckey at @Hou_Landing: The Houston Landing’s newsroom is “blindsided” by the firing of its top editor and a star reporter niemanlab.org/2024/01/the-ho…
@alexdstuckey @Hou_Landing @Mizanur_TX @John_Tedesco WTAF?!! Alex, no one has done more impactful work than you on the intersection of the mental health & criminal punishment systems in TX. If they don't know your value, they don't deserve you. I truly hope that you will land someplace where you are wholeheartedly supported.
In the 6 months since @Hou_Landing's official launch, the scrappy news nonprofit under founding editor in chief @Mizanur_TX has punched above its weight, delivering revelatory and impactful news with beautiful visuals about the Houston area that other media often missed.
We have come a long way since we launched last year. With growth comes change. Today we part ways with our editor-in-chief Mizanur Rahman. We are thankful to Mizanur for putting his talent and heart into this organization and ensuring we have everything we need to serve Houston.
Suddenly removing an editor of color who is widely beloved/ respected in Texas/ beyond and knows Houston the best, as well as the only investigative reporter on staff - a @PulitzerPrizes @LivingstonAward winner - is, at the very least, deserving of more answers.
@Mizanur_TX @Mizanur_TX I am so sorry to hear this. When you feel up to it, please shoot me an email. I'd love to talk. [email protected]
January 6 is day @whitmire_john @houmayor could speak about clear public safety danger of authoritarian threats from the right. Discussion could involve right-wing attacks on law enforcement. Mayor has constricted view of public safety ignoring threat right in our faces. #Houston
@houston_tsta sad part is this could be 1 of many: uncertified person who took job for the 💰, tenured teacher, someone fresh from college w/ passion for primary education, person who was out of work at time they accepted job but has absolutely no care for education. How does this help kids?

Extremely proud moment: @texasdemocrats just became the first state Democratic party in the nation to pass a ceasefire resolution. Not only was this effort youth-led, but the vote was unanimous. Shoutout to activists/groups like @texasasiandems who helped us make this happen!
Is there a cool German word for the feeling that happens when you think of someone you used to know, and realize they're probably dead now, and you remember your time together fondly, feel wistful, and hope them well, whatever plane of existence they are on now?
