Being a politician in Texas is a plum gig. You just scapegoat vulnerable people and otherwise don’t do anything. https://www.texasobserver.org/ted-cruz-roland-gutierrez-senate/ From @by_jmiller @TexasObserver

It’s a toss-up but I think this is my favorite piece I wrote @TexasObserver this year. Texas has become dangerous for free-thinkers. https://www.texasobserver.org/mccarthyism-texas-am-journalism-freedom/

Just can’t let this story from @josephinelee @TexasObserver go. Principal Myrta Garza abused a kid and then sent him to solitary, and no one in the school district will even say anything. https://www.texasobserver.org/prosecutors-wont-drop-charges-against-brownsville-isd-honor-student/

Palm Grove Elementary Principal Myrta Garza called CPS on a mother trying to get accommodations for her disabled child. Now she’s going to ruin Timothy Murray’s future. Who in Brownsville is brave enough to stand up for the kids? The silence is deafening. https://www.texasobserver.org/prosecutors-wont-drop-charges-against-brownsville-isd-honor-student/ @TexasObserver @josephinelee

Why keep the peace this #Thanksgiving? ”Sometimes we have a duty to condemn injustice in close quarters and call #racism by its name,” writes Editor in Chief @gabrielarana.
