I can’t remember a journalist ever being arrested for doing his job in my 24 years of reporting in Austin.

A photographer for FOX 7 in Austin was arrested during the protests at University of Texas Austin:

Shit, if only they’d have moved like that when my son was being murdered. But what do I expect….1 AR-15 keeps 376 officers at bay.

DPS appears to be prepping to disperse with a heavy, heavy showing of DPS troopers prepped in riot gear.

What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?

Reports are confirming 80 dead, so far, and the @nytimes is reporting that a white settler couple successfully recovered a ROLEX watch from their Lāhainā home.

On Friday, Elicia Stratton searched desperately through the wreckage of her Lahaina home for the Rolex watch her parents gave her when she graduated college. Suddenly, her fiancé pulled it from the ashes. “You found it!” she said, choking up. It was damaged but still legible.

great day to share some of my fav pics of princess diana hanging out and shaking hands w AIDS patients at a time when the disease was so stigmatized, nurses would leave trays of food outside of patients’ rooms for fear of catching it via touch

Watching media give the Brock Turner treatment for the killing of a homeless man has been nauseating. A person having a record does not excuse killing them. Neither does being poor, sick, or homeless. Virtually every one of us is closer to being in Neely’s shoes than we think.

You received $1,306,130 in donations from the NRA. You voted against the most recent bipartisan gun package in June. If you’re so “ready to assist” -- start by doing your job and passing commonsense gun laws that will help prevent tragedies like the one today.

Chuck & I are heartbroken to hear about the shooting at Covenant School in Nashville. My office is in contact with federal, state, & local officials, & we stand ready to assist. Thank you to the first responders working on site. Please join us in prayer for those affected.

Nearly 1 million pounds of vinyl chloride were on this train. Now, the EPA has confirmed it's entered the Ohio River basin which is home to 25 million people. This is one of the deadliest environmental emergencies in decades and no one is talking about it.

Vinyl chloride is not only flammable, but it's also a brain, lung, blood, and liver carcinogen. Authorities decided to burn hundreds of thousands of gallons of this chemical after a train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. But it’s gotten almost no national news coverage…

This is why Twitter is valuable. The media isn’t covering this story because Norfolk Southern is so powerful they can get a blackout. As a result, there’s a chemical disaster, endangering people and killing animals, in OHIO that no one has heard about.

Ohio right now That's a giant cloud of polyvinyl chloride and a ton of other bad chemicals The local police blew it up like a beached whale, now megatoxins are Chernobyling Ohio and there's a news blackout and the police are beating reporters and camera people and dragging em

Based on what we uncovered in Kern County, we created the “Autopsy Initiative” which provides free second autopsies to families who lost loved ones in police killings. We have completed over 40 autopsies since the program launched last year #KillingCounty npr.org/2022/02/24/108…

Colin Kaepernick launches new initiative to offer autopsies for police-related deaths

The new initiative will eliminate concerns from the first autopsy, ensure that it was conducted without any biases or errors.

We are all closer to being unhoused than being a billionaire. Understand that.

Good morning San Antonio! Just a reminder that the man who owns The Pearl (that pretty place you love to have dinner & take selfies & walk your dog) was one of the major funders of the January 6 storming of the Capitol. Enjoy your time at the Farmer’s Market this weekend!

.@GovAbbott’s grid failed again in Houston this past weekend, leaving 2.2 million people without clean water for days. With higher demands of power predicted for winter, if storms are as bad as they were in 2020, the grid is GOING TO FAIL AGAIN. #fixthedamngrid #txlege

The bill does not, however, codify the right of same-sex couples to marry in all 50 states, as the Supreme Court deemed constitutionally required in Obergefell v. Hodges. If Obergefell is overturned, states would still be able to deny marriage licenses to LGBTQ couples.

Stephen A. Smith might be right. Maybe it's wrong to judge Jerry Jones for something that happened 65 years ago. Maybe he was just "curious." How could anyone know? A thread.

I’m very fond of Jerry Jones and he doesn’t deserve what just happened to him!
