The rise of "ghost newsrooms" has catalyzed local news startups to fill the void. We're proud to see our grantees, @Hou_Landing and @elpasomatters , featured in @alexbruell's story for @WSJ about local news meeting essential needs in communities. https://t.co/uEsEUZVoFV

@AdriPerezTX I wish I could take away the pain. If it helps at all, imagine those you love each taking 1% of this burden from your heart. Because there are WAY more than 100 people who love you/would do this.

@SamsungUS your customer service isn't helpful. My dishwasher racks are rusting and no one will claim responsibility for it. I can't use the thing, and I cannot believe why the replacement parts aren't easily accessible and affordable. #disappointing

[Alison Westermann @ABM2631]

@AdriPerezTX Sorry that happened to you 😔

Black History Fact!

A Black man, Nathaniel Alexander invented the folding chair.

On August 5, 2023 his invention played a prominent role in the Alabama Riverfront Battle! #Montgomery #MontgomeryAlabama #AfricanAmerican #BlackTwitter #WWE #BlackHistory

@AdriPerezTX I'm here with reminders of how amazing, awesome and important you are to me and the world. 😘

I was in Panama last week in a delegation for @cda_dc looking at migration conditions, including in the Darién Gap. Hemispheric (even global) upheaval continues to play out in a once-impenetrable jungle, with ongoing massive implications for the US. https://t.co/FJEmpUvCqp

Speaking as a Watergate historian, there’s nowhere on thousands of hours of Nixon tapes where Nixon makes any comment as clear, as clearly illegal, and as clearly self-aware as this Trump tape.

Adri Pérez, TFN’s very own Organizing Director, was named “Hardest-Working Harbinger of Queer Progress” by The Austin Chronicle.

Congratulations, Adri. Your leadership and inspiration moves mountains.

Gov. Abbott signed HB 900 into law today.

The legislation requires all book vendors serving Texas public schools to give any book with references to gender identity, sexual orientation, or intimate relationships a rating of either “sexually relevant” or “sexually explicit.”

#txlege should use our historic state surplus to give public school teachers a meaningful pay raise, not divert dollars to private school tuition. #txed #vOUCHersHurt @moodyforelpaso
