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!
Here’s my months-long project on San Antonio’s history of redlining. I learned through the late nights, hours of interviews, and sometimes tears is that it’s not a thing of the past — San Antonio’s minorities are still living with the heartbreaking reality. The lines linger.
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education."

Well, @USAA, what are you going to do about this?
@TuckerCarlson insults active duty military & then follows with a racist lie.
Black sailors were only allowed to be cooks & Japanese soldiers were in segregated units, just to name a few.
Accept the lie, dishonor them. And us
This #MemorialDay, I'll not only be thinking about our fallen soldiers, but also the incredible sacrifices of the families they left behind. They, too, deserve our deepest admiration. We must never forget the lives cut short, nor the lives forever altered. #HonorThem
WASHINGTON – With 3 million Texans shivering in the dark, Sen. Ted Cruz jetted off to Cancun with his family, outed instantly by fellow vacationers and berated by critics for abandoning constituents during an epic statewide power crisis.

I am shocked and delighted that Biden acknowledged his son’s drug problem and said he’s proud of him for getting help. This is the kind of messaging I wish all comms pros would get on board with.
I spoke with Terry Gross of @nprfreshair about my new book HATEMONGER, Stephen Miller and the story of how an extremist became Trump's most powerful advisor. It was surreal, a dream come true but a very somber subject: https://t.co/mxKjZ85aYK @WmMorrowBooks
"The title 'Hatemonger' might seem sensational ... but it is clinically precise. Miller acquires, packages, commercializes, and touts hatred as surely as a fishmonger peddles haddock and cod. Jean Guerrero has the emails," @AndrewHazlett@BulwarkOnline https://t.co/I4voluMQ9W
